You're a madman, and I'm grateful for it @packyM

.@TerraformIndies absolutely blows my mind

Amazing trend that developing countries will use solar, wind, and batteries instead of coal as they grow because now renewable energy is more abundant, reliable, and cheaper

The new apartments with the high rents and nice amenities are what gets all the attention. But behind the scenes, each one of those "luxury" apartments is reducing demand for existing apartments, suppressing rent increases and reducing displacement.

We are in dire need for more privately funded labs like @arcinstitute to counteract the anti-science administration

"10x the EBITDA" vibes tonight... I don't think @clipse was rapping for the coding community on this tape, but I love building to this album lol

Would be really fun to sit in a board meeting with each mag 7 company and hear their plans with AI. Like actual thoughts and feelings, not what they say in public

Thought from the recent @Noahpinion blog post, and after listening to @rodriscoll and @jasonlk on 20VC with @HarryStebbings this past week: From Noah's post: "The Magnificent 7 tech firms have collectively spent a record $102.5 billion on capex in their most recent quarters, nearly all from Meta, Alphabet (Google), Microsoft and Amazon. (Apple, Nvidia and Tesla together contributed a mere $6.7 billion.)…" It's interesting how Apple is being considered an AI loser because they're not investing heavily in the technology, which is a fair characterization imo. However, by still having the app store, they could be major beneficiaries of the AI boom through the massive increase in apps, without having to increase cap ex. It won't be as much revenue as the cloud providers, obviously, and the recent Epic ruling will hurt, but it will be interesting to see how Apple's app store revenues increase without them having to do anything about it. Compared to the crown Meta, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are going after; however, Apple's App Store revenue increases will likely be fairly insignificant. I still hope they just build a car already... We need a Xiaomi.

It is so obvious for the democrats to adopt an abundance agenda. They could dominate future elections with this mandate if this sad state of the world is what they’re competing against. @DKThomp @ezraklein

20VC has been on fire recently. The shows with @jasonlk and @rodriscoll are always great, and the recent run of guests with @profgalloway, @vladtenev, @ScottWu46, and @echen has been incredible. @HarryStebbings has built the gold standard of vc/startup podcasts.

Working on it 🫡

Go Steelers, but I absolutely love it when a leader can make a speech with great delivery. Not just what he says, but how he says it. You feel the emotion, you feel the importance, and you feel the connection to his teammates. A+

Awesome event and such a kind, smart, and interesting community. Enjoyed speaking to every single one of the 20+ I had a conversation with.

The new @HarryStebbings @profgalloway 20VC episode was one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to all year. I can tell Harry was not expecting that conversation at all but kept diving in and it was so good. Scott is such a deep thinker and I really appreciate all he shared and how open he is with his own life to give good advice. Really appreciate Harry and Scott for sharing this with the world

I bet that in a generation or two, it will be illegal not to use self-driving cars, as they will have by then become far and away much safer than human driving. 50 years from now they'll think we were crazy for sitting in a metal box going 100mph with a bunch of strangers around us doing the same.

Insane that DeepMind is doing this. DeepMind seems like it could be a $100b+ pharma business in the future

I agree. I wish creating jobs was celebrated a lot more in entrepreneurship. Both by founders and by government

They’re 10x better than they were just 6 months ago. Very few mistakes if ever and can one shot hundreds of lines of code. It’s unbelievable

Another unicorn for Pittsburgh!
