TK IS BACK.
BEZOS IS BACK.
"Basically, Bezos' new AI manufacturing rollup fund is to AI rollup funds targeting accounting firms as new Jeff Bezos is to scrawny old Jeff Bezos. It’s the gigachad version of the AI rollup playbook."
What a week for the optimists.

playing around with replit 4v (spent ~3 minutes writing a prompt) and it made a reader with the Genius-style annotations I've always wanted in like 5 minutes. incredible.

Some professional news: I'm joining Anthropic's editorial team!
I'll be leading the team's work on economics and policy, and working closely with the Anthropic Institute (about which more here: x.com/AnthropicAI/st…).
Dramatic AI progress is coming in the next two years, and researchers+policymakers+the public alike will need the best information available about that shift. It's a big new challenge, and I can’t wait to get started.
[Some important housekeeping: I’ll keep running Statecraft at @IFP as a Nonresident Senior Fellow! And will remain on the board at Recoding America/ as a journalist-in-residence at @johnshopkins School of Government and Policy. I start at Anthropic in a few weeks.]
The move from frontier think tank to frontier lab is bittersweet. I’ve been at IFP for three years, and it’s been the most formative professional experience of my life. In a short period of time, IFP has become one of the most effective institutions in DC, generating a truly shocking amount of counterfactual policy impact (not all of it public).
Being on this team has permanently raised my ambitions. I'm very grateful.

There is a tremendous amount of progress happening in World Models.
Multiple labs have raised more than $1B. WMs were the star of GTC. They are a real path to embodied AI.
So @PimDeWitte & I wrote a comprehensive 19k word overview of World Models.

Martha and I went to high school together, and so I can say with authority that there is literally no better person in the whole world to write a piece on Victorian fiction and the labor market.

Many of us are trying to figure out where the AI labor market transition may be going. But that's fundamentally unknowable. So instead of trying to predict the future we can instead look back to try to figure out what may be coming...by reading 19th c english literature 1/

Pumped to be expanding to IL as state #2!
IL is birthplace of my wife and parents, plus my home for 12 years, and most importantly a forward-thinking electricity market.
@basepowerco is just getting started
Travis Kavulla@TKavulla
Delighted to announce @basepowerco has received its first state license to operate as an electricity retailer outside Texas. We're heading to Illinois! Thank you @ILCommerceComm for approving our application! Let me explain why we're heading to the Land of Lincoln🧵
