Congratulations @SolaAI_ on their launch and $21M of funding! Everyone’s talking about enterprise AI agents and computer use, but no one can tell you how this actually gets into real, economically valuable workflows. The answer is to make them self-serve and "teachable," so end users can rapidly train automations for everything they do without touching a line of code. Sola is the first platform where an operator can deploy on day one, scale to tens of thousands of runs, and never wait on a developer, FDE, or “center of excellence.” Long term believers in founders @jess123555 and @NeilDeshmukh. They're hiring! happy to partner with @kimber…

it’s a pretty heady time in AI, but fundraising is not core business progress. It can serve as a constant distraction — do not let it be only validation that counts in the end- customer love, fat margin, then ring that bell in the public pen

0/ as a formerly rebellious kid who valued control with a…highly independent child, I was thinking about agency and AI today. bear with me 1/ We value control even when it changes nothing. Mauricio Delgado’s “Value of Control” experiments: people guessed if a hidden number was >5 or let a computer guess. Odds were identical (~50%), yet most paid a cost to guess themselves. 2/ In fMRI scans, anticipating the chance to choose activated reward circuits—ventral striatum, medial prefrontal cortex—even when choice didn’t improve outcomes. Choice itself triggered a neural reward. We biologically want it! 3/3 If more people simply follow model…

0/ we should be answering so many curiosity questions with ai research right now. some I have below! If it’s been done pls tell me 1/ when do algos get upgraded ? Use AI-assisted code parsing to scan open-source history, detect algorithm implementations, and track when they’re replaced. Example: MD5 vanished from major projects as SHA-256 takes over, quicksort swapped out for introsort or timsort in language libraries. 2/ what code dialects exist? Use AI to extract and compare style and structure patterns across thousands of projects, grouped by type—scientific computing (NumPy, Bioconductor), games (Godot, libGDX), data pipelines (Airflow,…

These are some bummer charts for the 16-39yo’s (self included) Is there interesting research on how to increase these traits? https://t.co/L8cW5ShGiR

@_opencv_ @adhoc97 wouldn’t that be meta

1/ ONESHOTTED? In Snow Crash, a few words could change how someone thought forever. That’s fiction, but it feels close now? Spend enough time working with AI and your style changes. Your sentences and ideas compress into recognizeable patterns. This is being “oneshotted.” 2/ The bar for attention keeps rising, and AI raises it faster. Anyone can summarize now. The new muscle is being the *unpredictable, but clearly correct next token.* 3/ What emotionally resonates, but takes risk? What analogy from far-apart fields connects? What is the skeleton key to an industry — but runs counter to the narrative? Say something people didn’t forsee bu…

ai, bio, robotics, energy these revolutions will drown out everything else over the next twenty years

the feeding frenzy for ownership in the AI labs has spawned a set of bottom feeding multi layered SPV brokers that have no relationship with the company, and straight up grifters. careful of that nonsense.

1/ models are getting better at code! how you use agents can also have 10x impact. who is using coding agents internally in "advanced mode"? dm for @conviction-hosted dinner invite on this topic some notes from conversations w/ @conviction's startup teams about best practices: 2/ front-load context. keep an https://t.co/4D2J2549pN in the repo with project purpose, architectural guidance, file structure, style guide, and test commands so agents write to your standards 3/ phase the work. plan → implement → review → refine --> commit. have the agent explain design choices and catch bad assumptions early 4/ build/use validation in the loo…

you can do more than you think AI opening up more people to understand that every day. Very exciting

.@igarciacamargo @mvernal have led @Conviction’s seed investment in @CorridorSecure. We all couldn’t be prouder to be on their team. I’ve been working in cyber security for over a decade (across network, application, cloud, email, automation, identity). Most veterans, even those committed to the mission, get jaded by the continual game of cat-and-mouse, the scarcity of defender talent, and the lack of leverage in our tools. And they’re right to be exhausted — security can feel like an endless mountain to climb. But there is hope! Once in a blue moon, the people who can build a generational company meet and recognize the moment when technolo…

are you and I going to agree on the future? do you appropriately quote richard sutton at least once in your memo?

I don’t sleep very much, so I have been really enjoying reading a bunch of dotcom bubble/bust era books. this was written (by a software engineer) about the uselessness of mobile: https://t.co/RBFzHOD4nS all of the time. we want the internet almost all of the time we are not at a computer friends keep asking, so: https://t.co/EdsIP0qzoo one obvious exclusion: I’ve always liked Michael Lewis’ writing but the new new thing just picked the wrong guy to follow

big launch day ⁦@figma⁩ https://t.co/A2EdlSPJU6

@TheAndersonOB @figma not actually a big nails girl

also — if this is you (ranked at GS, MS or Qatalyst at the top of your class, you’re team oriented, and you want to build instead of transact) then I have world-changing AI startup jobs for you
