Ted Sky ✦ R&D Venture Architect

🎉 Finishing the year with the achievement a young me would’ve thought. A response from Andreessen Horowitz on our ventures Working with VCs is usually about ghosting and unrealistic terms. But not with A16Z. They showed a canonical attitude. Ultra-fast response, appreciation, encouragement, details, follow-ups, terms, and, most importantly, options for next steps. It doesn’t guarantee billions tomorrow, it doesn’t guarantee a deal at all. But it is a hallmark, a confirmation that we know how and what to build to catch the attention of both market and Tier 1 funds. 🎉🎀🎄 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone

@vilinskyy Whould you be interested in discussing AI COO? Proactive operations intelligence?

I can invest in 2-3 startups before the end of March. Looking for novel UI and something different.

@marclou Now monetize it! (As you always do with everything 💪

I had to refresh twice

@OmriBuilds AI COO

What are you guys building? Pitch it in 5 words.

You’re right, I put photons constantly, keeping in mind those “light stripes” 😅, and there is no option to edit the comment. Well, at least it's prove that it is not Ai gen)) anyway, you still need somehow to emit single particles with impossible precision, which does not seem plausible at home

@tedskyba @Rainmaker1973 You need superconductors and high energy if you are CERN. For a DIY, you do not. And accelerators don’t accelerate photons, lol…🤦‍♂️

Guy built a particle accelerator in his living room.

@boxmining AI COO for Industry 4.0. Proactive operation intelligence.

Explain what you are building with AI I’m looking to invest, and connect. 👇🏼

@Rainmaker1973 Is there any reason why he's doing it all alone on a camera and not surrounded by the Guinness World Record team?

860 kg raw partial deadlift by Jai Shree Ram, almost twice the official world record

@art_voloshyn 😅😅😅

At least LLMs solved one of the biggest developer headaches of the past 50 years - naming variables 🙂

@kimmonismus @art_voloshyn

Ngl this is exactly what I was waiting for. Human avatars, with emotions and facial expressions, that you can talk to.

@tmhammer Hi Tom! 👋 I’m sorry for chasing you across the X but I guess my emails are again in spam!

Never know who you’ll walk by in this room

@tmhammer @joherkhan Hi Tom! I’m sorry to chase you across the X. I’m afraid your spam filter has again hidden my latest email to you!

@joherkhan 👀👀👀👀

After 4+ years building Founders Inc., I'm building something new. Introducing: PLUMSODA, a wild new media company aimed at tech’s underbelly. Why? Because there's no one telling stories about what ACTUALLY happens here. Not funding or DAUs. But the quirks, the culture, and other absurdities that make this place so special If you're deep in the twitter meta, you're plugged in. But everyone else reads basic headlines or watches the WeWork movie. We wanted to create something for the masses. Not about the business of things, but what's driving it. The stories won't be traditional. And neither will the form factor. We'll be dropping wild merch. Each a commentary on the things that are happening but no one takes the time to write down. It’s mschf meets vice news. We'll pair each piece of merch with some deeper storytelling; partnering with filmmakers, writers, and artists, to bring it all to life. Merch is our meta. That’s why we're helping startups grow into more culturally relevant brands too. Starting with their own killer merch. If you need some of that, hit me up. Otherwise follow along, it's gonna be something.

@ay_ushr Hey @ay_ushr , sounds like our AI COO. We’re happy to show a demo in early March.

Someone please build WorkOS but to make products agent-ready - MCP out the box - Auto-updating skills / CLIs - Guardrails for dangerous operations - Webhooks for agents / slack alerts We will be your first customer

@iwillpat @mispricedd @neuralunlock @HashgraphVC Hi Will! Dropped you DM. I bet it's in spam, just checking 👋

In short: $100M new fund - writing checks *now* Team: Me, @mispricedd, @neuralunlock 1st check size: $500K-2M Monitoring DMs - and catching up on many. Follow @HashgraphVC for portco and event updates

@tmhammer @speedrun Hi Tom! Sorry for pinging you here, there is an update on your email, but I think it was buried or got to spam again(

so you know, @speedrun 007 is coming: techcrunch.com/2026/02/11/how…

@benvspak Low shippers?

Who else is building cool stuff on the internet? I want to connect with more: → side project builders → early-stage founders → product designers → fast shippers → indie hackers → developers who just love to build Drop a comment if that's you 👇

@TheBrandonTitus @elonmusk @SpaceX @grok @elonmusk

Dear Elon (@elonmusk, @SpaceX, @grok), My name is Brandon Titus (@TheBrandonTitus) and I’m writing this with a heavy heart and a sliver of hope, knowing it’s a longshot for you to even see it amid everything on your plate. But as the creator of Grok (who helped draft this), you know better than anyone how AI can amplify voices that might otherwise go unheard. If there’s any “inside track” or way to bump this up—maybe through xAI channels or your team—I’m begging for that edge, because this is the most important request I’ve ever made. Once my dad’s gone, there’s no second chance. He’s 67, fought liver cancer for five grueling years since retiring, and now his health is fading fast. He hasn’t been the same since the July 4th floods, which wiped out everything including my family’s home and my father’s motorhome. I swam through raging waters to pull him off the roof of my tool shed. My sister relocated him to Marble Falls so she could aid with his medical care while my wife and I rebuild our house for us and 5 or our 7 children that still live at home. My father has always been rocket-obsessed, from my earliest childhood memories of him explaining launches to me and the two of us building / launching Estes Rockets of all sizes. Then you come along and single handedly saved our nations freedom of speech and seared your name in my father’s heart. You’re one of few people he’s ever held in such high regard. When you caught that first booster, he was transfixed, grinning ear-to-ear like I hadn’t seen in years. Heck, He started an X account solely to keep up with and track SpaceX milestones; it’s been his brightest light through the cancer battles. I never thought I’d see him integrate with technology. His final lap is weighing heavy on me and memories are my top priority. He has 1 desire (His only bucket list item): Seeing a launch live. Starbase in Texas would be perfect—we’re close, and I can get him there. But with no dates on the near calendar, I’d scrape together funds, I’d even take a second mortgage if needed for Florida, it’s that important. I will figure out the finances if there’s any way you could make it personal—a meet-and-greet, or even just a quick video message—it’d be priceless. His birthday is coming up on February 6. I’m not confident hell see another one. Honestly Elon, you’re building the future Dad’s always dreamed of. I would be forever grateful if you were able to help me make this memory happen. If there’s any chance this makes hits your radar, know that there couldn’t be a better man for this to happen to. His name is Michael Titus! DM, reply or anything Deepest Regards, 🤞🏻 Brandon Titus

@austinxwalker Software it’s just a form of solving a problem

if you want to raise VC money: you need to be one of the best people in the world at solving the problem. software has been commoditized. anyone can build it. the only edge is a real, specific insight you earned through specialized experience.

@_orcaman @openwork_ai @art_voloshyn

Today we are launching @openwork_ai, an open-source (MIT-licensed) computer-use agent that’s fast, cheap, and more secure. @openwork_ai  is the result of a short two-day hackathon our team decided to hack, which brings together some of our favorite open source AI modules into one powerful agent, to allow you to: 1. Bring your own model/API key (any provider and model supported by @opencode is supported by Openwork) 2. ~4x faster than Claude for Chrome/Cowork, and much more token-efficient, powered by dev-browser by @sawyerhood (legend) 3. More secure - contrary to Claude for Chrom/Cowork, does not leverage the main browser instance where you are logged into all services already. You login only to the services you need. This significantly reduces the risk of data loss in case of prompt injections, to which computer-use agents are highly exposed. 4. Free and 100% open-source! You can download the DMG (macOS only for now) or fork the github repo via the link in bio (@openwork_ai). Let us know what you think (or better, send a pull request)!

@thegarrettscott @doanythingapp @art_voloshyn

INTRODUCING: @doanythingapp Do Anything Agents are a totally new kind of agent They: - work independently for weeks/months+ - have their own email - self manage entire projects - can use almost any tool on the web Today the alpha opens to the public. Here's how they work:
