Holy shit. I’ve used ChatGPT every day for 3 years. Just spent 2 hours on Gemini 3. I’m not going back. The leap is insane — reasoning, speed, images, video… everything is sharper and faster. It feels like the world just changed, again. ❤️ 🤖 wsj.com/tech/ai/google…

It's so easy to be cynical and sound clever. Most startups fail, so the cynics are usually right. But the ones that succeed change the world. YC was the first investor in Starcloud.

Congrats to Joe Gebbia on becoming the first Chief Design Officer of the United States. In this newly created role, Joe will oversee the redesign of roughly 26,000 federal web portals, many of which are obsolete, so they better serve social security recipients, veterans, and all citizens. As a former cofounder of @Airbnb, @jgebbia could have done anything next but decided to volunteer his time and expertise to public service. Thank you Joe. And thank you to President Trump for creating this new function by executive order and continuing to attract the best talent from the private sector to join his administration. It’s an honor to be part of!

Today, we are launching a new brand identity for Caffeinated, one that we believe captures our evolution as a firm since our beginnings in 2008, the partnerships we have built with some of the world’s best founders, and our guiding philosophy.
