today i start my next chapter building new media efforts @a16z alongside @eriktorenberg. we are putting together a small superteam to craft the story arc of the greatest american venture firm over the next decade grateful to @tbpn for a generational ride. blessed to work with a truly world-class team (and interns). the temple of technology is forever here's who we are hiring for: interns, dropouts, film school misfits, directors, generational poasters, vibe coders, cracked founding engineers. if this excites you, my dm is open. must be on x, in-person sf only

@creebeauvoir dialed in

>goes to event >immediately inspects the host’s book collection (i respect they are on the floor in piles)

@Nick_5anchez thanks for having me! great views

put 20 of the most cracked SF consumer founders in the same room and this happened: > 12+ course meal by private sushi chef > skyline views of the bay > golden hour sunset over the city > founders from YC and a16z-backed companies > operators from the first ugc programs like locket + minutesAI > chatted about the future of ugc and what it looks like within the next year welcome to Playkit After Dark: Sushi Edition the goal is simple: bring the top UGC operators in the space into one room. everyone here has either built a successful UGC program or is actively building one. this is ground zero for tech ugc next location: nyc who do we need to invite?

jobs left in singularity: - the person who knows what to do - the person who knows what not to do - the person who knows a guy - bodybuilders - chief of staff

@Alexmreinhart love that

@liangsays I know a guy

@imhabibx few understand this

@liangsays knowing the right guy still beats every algorithm

@glbaumann no doubt

@liangsays Brian Chesky is ready for the singularity

@WillyB_303 - the person who monitors every situation

@liangsays -the moggster

@liangsays - new media fellow
