Excited to announce @InCountry has raised $10m and launching AgentCloak AI data protection. AgentCloak protects AI agent data with secure digital twins and advanced data cloaking. We help enterprises comply with AI data minimization and cross-border Sovereign AI regulations.

On this immigration thing: Silicon Valley has to understand that we have already lost this battle. The H-1B scammery by bigcos has been fully exposed right when CS grads can't find work. So we need to focus message on competent and exceptional people. Fakepreneurs that clone other companies also not helpful.

@arampell @Danhightower They changed the rules since Thiel did it. Can only do it for passive investments, disqualifying if you have any control at all

@Danhightower Even better: open a self-directed Roth IRA (eg with Columbia Private Trust), have the IRA “buy” the founder shares at inception, no tax ever Only issue is vesting / repurchase right since the IRA can’t have something tied to your employment. But fixable.

Founder hack: form a startup as an LLC first, then convert to a C‑corp once the LLC is worth several million (but under the QSBS $75M cap) so that the higher fair market value becomes your “basis” for QSBS and you can exclude up to 10x that amount from federal tax on exit, potentially turning hundreds of millions of gain into 0%-tax QSBS instead of being limited to the flat $10–15M cap. You're welcome have a good weekend.

My favorite bit is that 100% of her anti-AI posts has an em dash

@mikeclovell The worst

Landed in FLL but need to drive home in diabolical rush hour traffic to MIA. Could have landed in ORL and taken BrightLine home.

Incredible how oblivious some national security experts are to the strategic downsides of export controls, as detailed in my article from last week The Coming Tsunami of Chinese AI nationalreview.com/2026/05/the-co…

@ayampolskiy 😅

oh no

The surest way to preserve American commercial and military leadership is not to hit the brakes in a futile attempt to slow China down, but to innovate faster. | @peteryared nationalreview.com/2026/05/the-co…

Wrote an article for @NRO on how China has built a complete AI tech stack and that limiting chip exports to China has been entirely self-defeating for US technology companies. InCountry is one of the few US tech companies doing business in both the US and China, so we have a unique perspective on the state of tech in both markets. nationalreview.com/2026/05/the-co…

We implemented @karpathy 's MicroGPT fully on FPGA fabric. No GPU. No PyTorch. No CPU inference loop. Just a transformer burned into hardware, generating 50,000+ tokens/sec. The model is small, but the idea is not: inference does not have to live only in software 👇

@ryanvogel @MichelleBakels @opencode Awesome, congrats!

BREAKING: @MichelleBakels has now joined the @opencode team

@thdxr Boilerplate to low level services is the new Vercel

been a year since this post and we have definitely shifted towards liking more boilerplate-y explicit code vanilla used to mean simple but now it feels like a guarantee of ai going crazy and slopping shit up has anyone else felt this?

It's efficient to use a local Sovereign AI to detect sensitive data

😭

My VC friend told me his most valuable business book is the DSM IV. Much to consider.

Less than a week... Get your Nos Vegas groove on and party with your fave nostriches at @WeAllScreamDTLV Presented by @layer3press @peteryared Tickets at nosvegas.shakespeare.wtf

@hypersoren We will miss you! Although I think the SF politics are better than NYC at this point

I am moving back to New York. I spent the last few years in Miami Beach. I moved for family but I broadly felt—if all predictions of AGI came true; if we had agents that could do arbitrary tasks—beach property would be valuable. I’ve been disappointed with how early stage AI has developed. Despite grand narratives > THIS IS AGI investment in kind hasn’t followed. The SF Taste Class dooms aimlessly about what we’ll all do when Claude does most intelligent work. It sounds like a joke but Miami already lives in this future. The city is not pretentious about intelligence—perhaps entirely the opposite—but it’s undeniable that Miami is one of the highest growth and dynamic cities in America. The city is deeply American and lives its true self 24/7—party boats, cars, beautiful people, money, rich immigrant culture. Miami dominates @alexolegimas Relational Sector—human intensive, provenance rich service where human-aspect of services lead. New York probably too. SF—not so much. Plainly I don’t think people are thinking clearly about economics in this new era; acting as if AGI invalidates underlying economic principles. I’ve heard rumors some at Anthropic want Anthropic branded everything, all run and organized by a Constitutional Claude Commune. I don’t want to live in this future. Beyond SF’s incredible natural beauty, its cultural and political aesthetics are dismal. The AI narrative is now just Permanent Underclass For All but labs Who Will Charge 90% Margins. I reject this. I reject these aesthetics. I reject cosplay. If we really are ushering in a magic machine god made of sand we must take everything seriously across all domains of life. When the cycle started we were Accelerating. We were on our way to Abundance. Now we twist narratives to accumulate LP dollars to rent seek compute replacement for human labor. How profoundly depressing and unimaginative. Also—deservedly—not durable. So I’m headed to New York to build Technologies Of Abundance. See you downtown. JPMorgan Finishers better up the pace on the Central Park hill.
