ai has completely captured every single mind in the tech industry (no pun intended). we are obsessed, captivated, and enamored by this magical technology that we think will change everything, everywhere, all at once.

more interestingly though, is that it has forced us to think about what it means to be human and to rethink our values and purpose on this earth.

if nobody needs to "work", what do we do with our time? with our lives? what are we for, if not to produce and be useful? what will it even mean to be productive? why even be productive at all? how do we define ourselves once intelligence isn't what sets us apart? what happens when we no longer know what makes us valuable?

we've lived through recessions and market crashes before, but none of them ever sent us into an existential crisis. any economic crisis caused by ai will also be a crisis of human identity, meaning, and purpose.

i'm hiring a small global team of venture scouts to help us source early-stage founders for our accelerator @886studios.

if you're a student with some extra time on your hands, curious about venture capital and startups, and you enjoy talking to people, asking questions, and nerding out about tech, my dms are open!

part-time, comp based on results.

the near-term progress of ai could depend on an information war, and it’s losing.

the irony is that “intelligence” is becoming more accessible than ever, but ppl are being dumber than ever.

they’re handed a silver platter that can supercharge anything that requires cognition, and they say "fuck that," throw it on the floor, and go back to doomscrolling.

The differing perceptions of AI are wild. The country just voted against data centers on 40+ provisions nationwide and hates AI. (Plenty of legitimate gripes.) But most of those people are just unaware that AI is finding a new cancer cure or treatment weekly, going through decades of peer reviewed data and uncovering mountains of errors, that its correcting, throughout every academic field. Replacing billions of man hours of drudgery. Closest thing to a “miracle” I’ve ever witnessed. When I talk to people outside of tech/VC, they’re just unaware of all of it.
