Building Channel Valve : The technology channel’s first agentic GTM platform
Great news for the AI industry: market cap continues to be inversely correlated with burn rate! Why make a profit, when you can just forecast a glowing future?
Happy to see that The White House has finally realized that the Andreessen-Sacks zero regulation approach to AI was going to blow up in the their face. Also glad to see them finally consider the kind of oversight that I suggested in my 2023 Senate testimony.
My view on Mythos was and is somewhere in between. It’s real, it’s a wakeup call, and it’s not quite what some of the media coverage suggested. • Mythos is not going to allow an 8 year old to accidentally take down a power grid. (Someone writing for the NYT thought that was a real possibility). • The new Mozilla data certainly show that Mythos is better then its predecessors at detecting bugs. • But the UK AI institute’s study showed (and I still think this is true) that well-secured systems are not immediately at risk. • Consistent with all this the Mozilla report notes “Note that a number of these bugs are sandbox escapes, which would need to be combined with other exploits to achieve a full-chain Firefox compromise” I stand by my middle view; it’s not marketing hype, but it’s not quite as potent as some people thought. One other thing to note is that whatever advances there are not necessarily general to many or all domains; we will have to wait and see on that.
GPT-5.5-Cyber is now in limited preview for defenders for securing critical infrastructure. It's a very capable model.
I'm giving away the Claude Code skills we use to manage $300k/mo in ad spend at ColdIQ. 4X ROAS on $1M+ spent. Ivan, our head of growth, built them off 300+ hours running ad campaigns for our clients. They run Google, Meta, and LinkedIn ads from the terminal in plain English: → bulk edits across platforms → custom audiences from CRM lists → creative fatigue detection before CTR dips → bid adjustments at scale → performance audits across periods Reply "ads" and I'll send the full repo. Must be following.

Scale AI wins a $500M DOD contract through the Chief Digital and AI Office to help sift data and assist in decision-making, after receiving a $100M deal in 2025 (@jenjudson / Bloomberg) (Visit Techmeme dot com for the link and full context!)
Here's exactly what I mean: On May 15, @xAI Grok will retire grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning and API requests for them will fail I have 9 days to change the model name in 30+ sites/apps so they keep working It'd make much more sense to me if they'd just update to the latest model with the same pricing, or let me use a model name like 'latest' that just auto updates Although actually people's arguments against this make sense regarding pricing: In this case there is no similar priced "latest" model, pricing goes up from $0.20/input + $0.50/output in Grok 4.1 to $1.25/input + $2.50/output in Grok 4.3 But I'd be fine with that too, I just don't want all my apps/sites to break and keep running forever without me having to change code!
