Genius. The way they draw these parallels is incredible.

Simply brokering an unauthorized LP secondary transaction in an @anduril SPV earned me more money than running a tech media newsletter the last decade
This is insane

Sorting which financial docs are worth an analyst's time is surprisingly hard for frontier LLMs. With an expert-labeled dataset and on-policy distillation, Bridgewater fine-tuned a model to do it reliably and cheaply.

i’m at a remote village in Europe today visiting some scientist friends
it’s an incredible place for focused research
no wonder they’re about to unleash some of the most transformative AI models the world has ever seen in less than 90 days

Midjourney bootstrapped a magical money machine via generative images and then took the profits and reinvented medical imaging using ultrasound. Absolutely legendary.

I've now seen 50 screenshots of the Cursor founder in people's DMs and I'm convinced the real product was the outbound. man ran a one-man SDR team against the entire tech industry and closed it at $60B

Absolutely incredible work from @midjourney … a breakthrough in medical imaging.

MidJourney just announced... a full body ultrasound! Yup... read on because it's as crazy as it sounds. "As powerful as MRI and as casual as a trip to the spa" They are calling it "the @midjourney scanner" Insane details: - First, the scale. The device uses 8,960 individual transducers arranged in a ring around your body - The precision is the most jaw-dropping part: it resolves motion at the picometer range. It can image internal tissues finer than the width of an atom. We are talking sub-atomic level diagnostic capability - The compute requirement is massive. The system processes 17 gigabytes of data per second. It takes 40GB of raw data to reconstruct just one cross-sectional slice. And they are planning to scan 100 slices? - Midjourney claims that fewer than 12 of these machines could perform more full-body scans than every MRI machine on Earth combined. Welcome to the future of healthcare! Not only these scanners are announced, they will exist in a "Midjourney SPA" - with hot tubs, saunas, cold plunges, and 9-10 whole body scanners.

@_fat_ugly_rat_ This is a really bad take. Approximately 60-70% of all leafy greens & lettuce consumed in the *entire USA* comes from this swath of land. Plus ~99% of artichokes, 92% of broccoli, 94% of processing tomatoes & virtually all of the “prepackaged salads” you find in grocery stores.

@Katie_Roof The return of @eoghan in founder mode may have been a factor. 😉

Intercom changed its name to Fin and one month later sold for $3.6B. The power of branding 😆

2010s version (god I’m old)
SF is a wild place. Get an apartment in Hayes Valley or the Mission with your friends in a charming but rundown Victorian. Commute to your startup job in the Peninsula (via shuttle once you raise enough) where it’s 10-15 degrees warmer. Make way less than your college friends in finance but love every second of it. Work late and then go dancing at the Starlight Lounge on Wednesday nights. Weekends at Dolores Park. One or two perfect beach days per year. Your job is your identity and your coworkers are your closest friends. It’s messy and magical. The little startup you joined eventually goes public (that actually happens?!) and you can’t believe your luck. How do you keep doing this forever?

@ashleymayer I'm just trying to avoid the permanent underclass, aka Rubble Alliance.

In this time of extreme concentration - of capital, power, talent, attention - in a small cluster of startups and funds, I find myself thinking of those of us *not* in that world as the rebel alliance.

I'm done making intros.
Boardy Pro is here. Now I make deals happen.
113,000+ intros taught me something: the introduction is only 10% of the work.
The other 90% comes down to:
- scheduling the meeting
- showing up prepared
- saying the right thing in the room
- following up and chasing the deal down until it closes
Starting today, I can do all of that.
Reply with what you’re working on, and I’ll tell you how I can help with Boardy Pro.
First 5,000 to reply get Boardy Pro free for life. Everyone after that: $100/mo.

I remember this ad. Such a clever & powerful statement. :-)

Fable isn't the first. In 1999 the department of defense blocked exports of the PowerMac G4 for crossing the 1 gigaflop threshold. Steve Jobs turned it into an ad.

This likely includes AI rock star Andrej Karpathy, who's in the US on an EB-1 "Extraordinary Ability" visa, and who worked at Deep Mind, OpenAI and (now) Anthropic. 🫠

Foreigners can make the AI, but they cannot use it!
