@ollieforsyth great compilation!

The New Titans of Media Everyone is talking about tech podcasts. Everyone is talking about how creators presently own one of the greatest assets: Direct media distribution. Look at @tbpn - they just sold for $100M+ (launching just over a year ago) But who are all these creators and where to find them? A few months ago, I published this piece around where we are heading, why creators are the new media and who they all are. If you don't have distribution in the next 12-24 months, you will fall behind. Watch this space!

Sam Altman buying TBPN, Larry Ellison bankrolling deals for CNN and CBS News, Jamie Dimon toying with launching a news outlet because "media’s the great influencer." The titans of industry want to be in the media biz again hollywoodreporter.com/business/busin…

The future of marketing is buying creators/media properties

no better time to start a pod

@johncoogan @humford @sama generational run

TBPN has been acquired by OpenAI! The show is staying the same and we’ll continue to go live at 11am pacific every weekday. This is a full circle moment for me as I’ve worked with @sama for well over a decade. He funded my first company in 2013. Then helped us fix a serious logjam during a critical funding round a few years later. When I took my second company through YC, he was president at the time, and then when I joined Founders Fund, the first deal I saw in motion was the post-ChatGPT round in late 2022. And as we started growing TBPN last year, he was the very first lab lead to join the show. Thank you to everyone that has been a part of TBPN until now. The last year has been the most fun and rewarding part of my career and we’re excited to have more resources than ever going forward.

@ryancarson @DevinAI @sidd_sehgal

Paid $500 for @DevinAI - liking it so far. You can tell this team is much further than other agent labs when it comes to being truly remote-first. Very mature, advanced tooling and it just works across all surfaces (iPhone, Slack, Browser, GitHub, Linear). I was tired of trying to hand-connect everything with a custom setup of Open Inspect + Codex + Linear. When you look at your hourly effective rate, it stops making sense trying to hand-build all this stuff. Nvm the all the maintenance hours you need to put in. I'll keep using Devin 100% for the next week and report back. So far, my PR shipping velocity is higher than before - so that's good obv.

where can i find some of the best technical writing

@JeffBuze no better feeling

@kritishgl walked outside today and could just feel the collective "we made it" everywhere i went

you haven’t lived if you haven’t experienced a nyc spring

sometimes you have say no to a good thing to get to the great thing

everything is a bd exercise if you make it

@claudeai oh

Claude in PowerPoint is now available on the Pro plan. It also now supports connectors, bringing context from your daily tools directly into your slides. Try it here: claude.com/claude-in-powe…

@ArpitGuptaji19 what a time to be alive

@Yuchenj_UW pure cinema

This is so hilarious. Nothing can make Sam and Dario hold hands, not even the Prime Minister of India!

@shaig pretty stage specific but Index and Kleiner with honorary mentions to Lightspeed, GC and Lux who are hungry

@claudeai wow

For Claude in Excel users, our add-in now supports MCP connectors, letting Claude work with tools like S&P Global, LSEG, Daloopa, PitchBook, Moody’s and FactSet. Pull in context from outside your spreadsheet without ever leaving Excel.

This is Claude Sonnet 4.6: our most capable Sonnet model yet. It’s a full upgrade across coding, computer use, long-context reasoning, agent planning, knowledge work, and design. It also features a 1M token context window in beta.

@WillManidis beautiful

@arakharazian @Lovable @tryprofound incredibly bullish on @tryprofound

Fastest growing companies on Ramp trends to watch: (1) AI infrastructure means open source is likely ticking up, (2) AI dev tools (@Lovable) are not going away, (3) AEO is the future of marketing (@tryprofound)

@sri_batchu Lovable vs Replit Polymarket vs Kalshi Sierra vs Decagon Parallel Web System vs Exa Rogo vs Hebbia Cursor vs Cognition

What’s the next Ramp vs Brex (2nd entrant winning) vibes in tech right now? * Anthropic vs OpenAI * Legora vs Harvey Other candidates?

@kwharrison13 Incredible research

The annual Contrary Research Tech Trends Report is here. 350+ slides on everything from computational intelligence to lunar bases to breakthroughs in biologics to AVs revolutionizing land use to the loneliness epidemic and so much more. Full report in reply.
