when I think about management in 2025 and what is considered “too direct”

A new law: no matter how much compute an ai company has, the researchers will always be able to use all of it 💸

saw into the future

Was awesome talking to my (deeply admired) friend @RamaswmySridhar about his first 18 months as the CEO of $SNOW, Snowflake intelligence, the future of search, the ads business model, change at scale and how every company is challenged to keep innovating in the age of AI

Really cool to see all the real agent deploys from big enterprise brands today at the first Sierra Summit! cc: @claybavor

an awesome first @SierraPlatform summit today! “the conversation is the interface” https://t.co/FRSZ5dHrEK *the multimodal conversation

congrats @ekuyda, one of the coolest and most creative thinkers I’ve ever met. you’ve made me believe in personal software - we should all raise the bar for what we expect from our tech

guys I am so pleased today so much of early stage startups is not giving up

ok, I know I’m the biggest stan — but amongst many lessons I have learned from @gradypb is that cynicism/selfishness is for losers, and openheartedness is for winners. believing in the talented people around you, assuming good intent, playing for your team - it is often enough!

sure you will @brainstub https://t.co/afUFvebTq8

Congratulations to my better half @gradypb, the new Senior Steward of @sequoia along with the wonderful @Alfred_Lin. Investing firms must be led by great investors. Sequoia’s motto at one time was “We are only as good as our next investment.” If that’s true, the firm is in good hands. Pat has the scary-good ability to identify both the phase shifts and the platform companies within them (ServiceNow, Zoom, HubSpot, Okta, Snowflake in the cloud era, Harvey, OpenEvidence and OpenAI in the AI era). He sets the gold standard for growth investing. Venture is an industry populated with incomplete information, high stakes, long feedback loops and …

getting pumped for demo day next week!

Leaders, like models, are contextual. Fun to meet Bartleby and talk with the sharp @TheEconomist team https://t.co/24RWMLQ1Cz https://t.co/byzG08Saki

“Maybe the AIs didn’t surpass us; maybe they just became a mirror — showing what we value most.” https://t.co/btjk5DvHq4

2025, everyone https://t.co/ST51yt9siY

the most fun NeurIPS submission

that feeling when you believe but you know you’re also crazy for believing

this is the year of real time voice! Congrats to the @Cartesia team. Their architectural creativity, obsession with performance, and taste finally makes AI conversation feel human (sub-200ms latency, multilingual consistency, and natural emotional range).

when the pre-game is as good as the game! At $NVDA GTC in DC to chat AI, chips, power, startups, and what we need to continue the cycle of innovation and the American compute build-out. 🇺🇸 Livestream tomorrow at 8.30am ET: https://t.co/2u3uWxTqXZ https://t.co/pttq7blrXr

.@cognition RL-trained models...making dev experiences better in the wild

we do not equip young people for their most important choices: what to do, who to be with, where to live really glad Bill wrote this

“real engineers won’t use agents to code” said the naysayers

a customer friend gave me a problem statement for hardware design/manufacturing ai software that I think is promising, please lmk if you are interested in this

this is super cool and everyone should have exactly the software they want, without the cruft

.@JaredKushner is an extraordinary diplomat — normalization, peace in Gaza and release of hostages are all unequivocal goods. Jared is a learner, relationship-builder and positive sum thinker. In business we judge people by their results, rather than their identities.

New @NoPriorsPod w/ @ericzelikman (former Stanford/@xai) about his new startup: humans& we talk about training models with EQ that collaborative with humans to unlock their full potential, the challenge of understanding human objectives, long-term memory & his views on abundance https://t.co/KzXNYvFkOV Full interview on YT (or any podcast platform) https://t.co/Xgejnfen2I

The models don’t know how a private equity firm like KKR does a particular process, and that specificity can be very important to KKR. It’s not a reasoning or IQ problem, and that’s where process data and post training can be important to our customers. -@winstonweinberg CEO @harvey

if you could interview anyone dead, who would you interview?

big consultancies are feeding their clients AI slop. using consumer-grade tools this way is going to erode trust https://t.co/3BPZU7fTPw

stopping for 30’ to celebrate @conviction turning 3. thankful to our team, founders and community (back to work) https://t.co/5Tr8ozclKU
