VCBench dropped a wild benchmark: 9k anonymized founder profiles, 9% success baseline - and LLMs (GPT-4o, DeepSeek-V3...) already beating humans and many tier-1 VCs. Public leaderboard + strong anonymization pipeline. It’ll be fascinating to see their upcoming work on prediction models for altcoins.
Joel Mokyr - awarded the 2025 prize in economic sciences - “for having explained innovation-driven economic growth”
What creates sustained economic growth? This year’s laureates used different methods to answer this question. Through his research in economic history, Joel Mokyr – awarded the 2025 prize in economic sciences – has demonstrated that a continual flow of useful knowledge is necessary.
This useful knowledge has two parts: the first is what Mokyr refers to as propositional knowledge, a systematic description of regularities in the natural world that demonstrate why something works; the second is prescriptive knowledge, such as practical instructions, drawings or recipes that describe what is necessary for something to work.
Mokyr used historical sources as one means to uncover the causes of sustained growth becoming the new normal. He demonstrated that if innovations are to succeed one another in a self-generating process, we not only need to know that something works, but we also need to have scientific explanations for why. The latter was often lacking prior to the industrial revolution, which made it difficult to build upon new discoveries and inventions. He also emphasised the importance of society being open to new ideas and allowing change.

A useful breakdown of how leverage, thin liquidity, and venue mechanics amplified a policy move into a systemic sell-off. Important for anyone building or trading in this market.
When robots start owning the tape, do panic dumps actually stop - or do they just get an algorithmic makeover? In short: will irrationality leave, or will it just change its outfit?
You’d think that if you’re preparing a $440k report, you could afford to have someone check it for AI hallucinations. But apparently Deloitte didn’t think so… What a ridiculous reputational hit - especially for a firm that sells itself as an “AI expert”
Curious to see how the market shake-up plays out with these new products. Some companies, like n8n, act as if they’ve got a monopoly - but once OpenAI drops its version, we’ll see if that’s really the case.
So, BlackRock now plays with AI too: published a paper on AlphaAgents - a multi-agent LLM system for equity portfolio management. Feels like the future of investing… except it’s still unevenly distributed. Thoughts?
The best thing about robotaxis (for me) is that there’s no risk of dealing with a grumpy driver’s face (who for some reason tend to forget that it’s a paid service, not some kind of personal favor).
Every time I hear some official confidently spouting nonsense about the use of technology, I’m comforted by one thought - very soon, those same technologies will replace a good chunk of those useless officials.
I’ve always tried to dedicate enough time to self-education. Now, using AI daily as a cognitive exoskeleton, I spend significantly more time on it - the thought of getting lazy and regressing is just too scary.
Interesting to think when developing countries will finally establish a real institution of capital succession - half the kids of my older peers seem utterly unfit to manage anything more complex than booking a weekend at the Four Seasons.
Every time someone’s caught for fraud, I think: what outweighed what - the hunger for more or the thrill of the game?
If your surroundings don’t reflect beauty or intention, your ‘self-love’ might just be noise. Aesthetic is self-respect in physical form.
ETH Foundation might not shill, but CT sure does it for them. One month it's doomsday, next month it's godmode - either way, $ETH owns your feed. That's some next-level virality right there.
For the past few days, I keep coming back to one thought: @WarrenBuffett delivered a 5,500,000% return for his investors. For now, that number feels like the best benchmark to aim for. Or is there an even better one? (Long-term, not just a lucky trade)
Not gonna lie - if you're serious about success and still rigidly separate "work" and "weekend," you're playing yourself.
Telling yourself "no work today, it’s my day off" is how average people stay average.
P.S. Doesn’t apply to 9-5 folks with zero ambition - you're good.
Once again working on a project strategy and hitting a wall with SEC’s regulatory mindset straight outta the last century.
I solemnly swear to pop a bottle of rosé Louis Roederer the day those rules finally evolve.
Till then - it’s pure darkness for anything remotely “investment-adjacent”.
