@anton_chuvakin agreed -- inasmuch because service > product approach. AI SOC service (aka AI MDR) > AI SOC (software). Customers want to buy outcomes not more software

"That’s why I believe that AI SOC companies won’t sustain." franklyspeaking.substack.com/p/5-thoughts-g… <- wow, the eyes are opening already? I predicted this for RSA 2027...

@gadievron Much cyber. Also, AI. Advanced AI. Dark AI.

I have zero knowledge of what happened at Stryker. So, I won’t comment on it. I am commenting on not commenting on it. Very meta, much cyber. What is your meta thought?

@farzyness You can’t spell autist without AI.

The full Alex Karp interview from the American Dynamism Summit.

Sequoia (@sequoia) Partner @JulienBek tells us why the next $1Trillion company will be a software company masquerading as a services firm: "Ultimately, if you look at the TAM today, for every dollar that you spend on software, $6 are spent on services". "If you sell the tools, the models are getting better and better and so you're at risk... whereas, if you sell the services, you're actually delivering outcomes." "Until now, we could really just go after the $1, but now with services first and human at the centre, we think you can capture the six".

just picked up this bad boy. can't wait to write some software with it

Great post from my partner @nbobba. A clear framework for how foundation model companies are a threat to Vertical AI and where we see opportunity

If you're not on experimental peptides, maintaining a Mac mini farm of Clawdbots, have 50 claudes doing your bidding 24/7, squatting ATG 4 plates for reps, cranking diet coke and nootropics, using intracranial NIR photobiomodulation, on sleep-maxxing stack, you're NGMI in 2026
