Most importantly — thank you to our customers. The early believers who trusted us when we were just a handful of people in a room. Forethought simply does not exist without you.

There are moments where you stop and look back at the journey — and realize just how rare it is. Today is one of those moments. I’m incredibly proud to share that @forethought_ai has signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by @Zendesk .

I've been pretty fascinated with quantum computing, quantum physics, and relativity, and decided to start writing about it to clarify my thoughts. Please enjoy my first blog post: "What is time anyway?" dojideon.substack.com/p/what-is-time…

We’ve raised over $400M at a $10.2B post-money valuation to advance the frontier of AI coding agents. The round was led by Founders Fund with other existing investors including Lux, 8VC, Neo, Elad Gil, Definition Capital, and Swish VC all doubling down. We’re also joined by new investors including Bain Capital Ventures and D1 Capital. Two of our early investors, Christian Lawless of Conversion Capital and Emily Cohen of Neo, have even joined our team full-time.

@dounbug Wow, why tear someone down? Gigi was front-end eng #1 at forethought (AI company, $115m+ raised, won TechCrunch disrupt, etc.). Works like a beast, wrote 10,000+ lines of react / JavaScript, and yes, “manifested it”. Early to AI, early to crypto. I think u misspelled “👏”.

16 and a half layers of AI FaceApp filters. bleach-blonde hair 3 shades too light for natural undertone with extensions from Temu. lip filler overdrawn to perfectly match egoic inflation. practiced smolder, with a tinge of vacancy. the stare of someone who’s learned to weaponize the artificial feminine. “dev to crypto pipeline”, but has never written a single line of Solidity let alone JavaScript & believes event indexing has to do with the order of getting into the club. thinks opcodes are a new type of cosmetic filler and forking main is a sex position. now selling vapid promises of wealth to a following largely gained by tweeting “never stop clicking”-adjacent slop that could be produced by the brain of a pre-pubescent monkey from the Eocene epoch. possibly in a DAO for aesthetic alignment purposes. says things like “i manifested this” after getting put on a whitelist for tits. shills a token once, deletes later. takes photos w/ yachts that 56 year old Emirati heir that hangs out at Surf Club paid for. last thing she was early to without insider info was being cryptos bonnie blue. wants to be on a panel titled web3 and women. dreams of a photo w/ vitalik also, but as a thirst trap.
