I have a running list of the number of passes at Seed for the most famous companies that I send to LPs, and they are legion. The best companies, investors just don’t get at Seed. Keep going.

.@Collision is bullish on two types of people: high-agency individuals and double majors. "There are two categories of people I would be super bullish on right now and I think will do incredibly well over the next 10-20 years. First, high-agency people. The people at Stripe who have been talking to customers and know exactly what we should do. It's the people who have that pep in their step and want to go make Stripe better. They are so much more empowered thanks to AI." "The second is double majors. I think if you understand software and understand finance, or if you understand software and understand marketing, you now can go massively improve the entire marketing funnel for your company. Now, one person can do what would have taken 20 people dredging through all these systems." "Charlie Munger talked about the importance of being multidisciplinary and multidisciplinary thinking. He thinks getting a functional understanding of many disciplines is not that hard. You can just go read the books now or you can talk to your AI about it. I think multidisciplinary thinkers are going to do incredibly well."




@evenscreech Ant's openly said that they're trying to automate their non-coder tasks too, so I assume the same thing will happen, just on a bit of a lag. (There was, e.g., a video of their legal team writing contract-review agents that they released)




Today we're open sourcing open-agents.dev, a reference platform for cloud coding agents. You've heard that companies like Stripe (Minions), Ramp (Inspect), Spotify (Honk), Block (Goose), and others are building their own "AI software factories". Why? 1️⃣ On a technical level, off-the-shelf coding agents don't perform well with huge monorepos, don't have your institutional knowledge, integrations, and custom workflows. 2️⃣ On a business level, the moat of software companies will shift from 'the code they wrote', to the 'means of production' of that code. The alpha is in your factory. Open Agents deploys to our agentic infrastructure: Fluid for running the agent's brain, Workflow for its long-running durability, Sandbox for secure code execution, AI Gateway for multi-model tokens. (Because of our focus on Open SDKs and runtimes, this codebase is a gem even if you're not hosting on Vercel.) TL;DR: if you're building an internal or user-facing agentic coding platform, deploy this: vercel.com/templates/temp…




New: Tension at the Associated Press over use of AI. One of the AP newsroom leaders leading the company's AI initiatives told staff that many editors preferred an AI-written article to a human one, and told them when it comes to using AI in the newsroom "resistance is futile."
