at a16z speedrun, dm me if you want to chat in person in sf!

I got benched by my own AI. It’s doing my job faster than I can. Now I just stand next to servers and act important at Equinix. 😭

Gentleman Jack went down for 2 hours today. (He’s my AI assistant — OpenClaw.) I’ve taught him everything I know: - how I research - how I prioritize - how I execute Then he went offline. So I tried doing the work myself. And honestly? Everything took 10x longer. Not because I can’t do it… but because I forgot how much leverage I’ve been living with. Luckily, I found the bug and brought him back. He finished the exact task I was stuck on in under a minute. I can’t imagine a full day without him now.

Let me know if you need a referral!

We're hiring a founding Head of Technology & Applied AI at @focal_vc ! The leading next-gen venture firm will be AI native from the ground up. Which is why we're going all in. This is an n-of-1 opportunity for an n-of-1 builder. A founder-type role for a founder-type person with full ownership, real upside (carry in funds), and leverage from day one. Help us see sooner, decide faster, and build systems that learn across every founder, deal, and outcome. That's how our 5-person team beats 50-person firms. It's a hard challenge to get right. But when we get it right, the impact will compound for decades. If this sounds like you, apply at focal.vc/hiring!

@sama When you build something good, everyone just wants you!

Peter Steinberger is joining OpenAI to drive the next generation of personal agents. He is a genius with a lot of amazing ideas about the future of very smart agents interacting with each other to do very useful things for people. We expect this will quickly become core to our product offerings. OpenClaw will live in a foundation as an open source project that OpenAI will continue to support. The future is going to be extremely multi-agent and it's important to us to support open source as part of that.

Went to the Miami Enterprise Meetup tonight expecting a casual hang. Instead I walked into a room full of founders building real companies. Miami’s builder scene is quietly becoming legit.

Watching the Super Bowl on the big screen at the VC office. A year ago I was in this room asking for money. Today I'm in it eating wings. Same room. Same chair. Whole different vibe. One year can change everything. Startup life is fun and wild.

my workflow in 2026: 1. see viral tweet that codex is better 2. cancel claude, subscribe to chatgpt pro 3. see viral tweet that claude is better 4. cancel chatgpt, subscribe to claude max 5. repeat every 2 weeks 6. go broke lmaooo

Good vibes + good convos at Cursor Miami.

@skygodkingdom I thought is 2028 given how fast ai has progressed

Can you believe 2026 is almost over?

@divgarg @agi_inc The most exciting, and final launch of the year 🚀

We’ve been building in stealth at @AGI_Inc. Today, we’re ready to share it. Meet AGI Mobile. An AI that can actually use your phone. You talk. It executes. It uses any apps faster than you. This is what Siri was meant to be. Limited early access. 👉 agi.app

In SF for the week! If anyone wants to grab coffee or meet up, let me know.

@TheStalwart Lmaooo

very bullish news for American AI labs! Chinese hackers engaged in cyberattacks using Anthropic's Claude, rather than one of the homegrown models like DeepSeek or Kimi wsj.com/tech/ai/china-…

@saruulmeisterr Met Saruultugs in person today! Super cool guy!

Apparently being a Fulbright scholar and AI researcher isn’t enough to land a Job!!! My previous arrangement fell through, so I now have one week to secure a role or I’ll be forced to leave the country. -> 4 years’ banking/fintech experience building fraud‑detection & predictive models -> Master's in data science + Fulbright scholarship -> Research on generative/diffusion models -> Tired of ghosting and empty promises If you’re genuinely hiring a data‑science/ML professional, let’s talk. Otherwise, a like on this post would be appreciated!

@Alfred_Lin @roelofbotha congrats!

I am deeply honored, humbled, and will have big shoes to fill. @roelofbotha changed my life. He believed in me, brought me to Sequoia, and taught me how to grow from a builder into an investor. He’s demanding and deeply caring — the rare kind of friend, mentor, partner who pushes you and stands with you through every storm.

@YaniBu27 @juliafedorin @buildnchill Exited to see your interview!

Omg it’s @juliafedorin interviewing me😍 So excited for @buildnchill !
