How to raise $ 100k-1M from @1517fund: had a call with @DStrachman Founder 1517 and Ex-Partner @thielfellowship According to her: - they want to work with founders/makers who can get them in the frontier of knowledge - founders should have hyperfluency in their domain. I really liked the concept of "alchemy". Some founders take a resource and stretch it in a magical way. That's what they want to see. Comment for the entire notes :)

LIVE movie generation using audience reactions! I built this using world models from @reactorworld It asks viewers what they want to see, and then generates a video, which gets updated REAL TIME on the basis of audience engagement @clerk @WLDD_IN @Boudatw with @syuggupta

We've raised $6.5M to kill vector databases. Every system today retrieves context the same way: vector search that stores everything as flat embeddings and returns whatever "feels" closest. Similar, sure. Relevant? Almost never. Embeddings can’t tell a Q3 renewal clause from a Q1 termination notice if the language is close enough. A friend of mine asked his AI about a contract last week, and it returned a detailed, perfectly crafted answer pulled from a completely different client’s file. Once you’re dealing with 10M+ documents, these mix-ups happen all the time. VectorDB accuracy goes to shit. We built @hydra_db for exactly this. HydraDB builds an ontology-first context graph over your data, maps relationships between entities, understands the 'why' behind documents, and tracks how information evolves over time. So when you ask about 'Apple,' it knows you mean the company you're serving as a customer. Not the fruit. Even when a vector DB's similarity score says 0.94. More below ⬇️

I am so bullish on the real world. Group events. Cookouts. Sports. Parties. Animals. Music festivals. Phoneless dinners. Co-living centers. Healing centers. Retreat centers. Beautiful views. Group adventures. These things light me up. Tech, ai, and materialism continue to disguest me more every day. The pendulum has swung too far. A small group of soulless nerds will continue to obsess over ai, automation, effiency, and the intellect. But those of us connected to our hearts and spirits are becoming disgusted by it. We want real, and we want human. Expect a huge countersurge of irl businesses and events in the next few years.

I built an AI that does my busywork on my Mac. Its free. Press one hotkey. Tell it what you need. Watch it get to work. It sees your screen, opens apps, clicks buttons, fills forms. Everything runs locally. Your data never leaves your device. Comment to get the DMG (+follow)

Imagine you’re Dario Amodei. You spent a year embarrassing OpenAI. Everyone’s using Claude Code. You’re winning. Then you get comfortable. You send a cease and desist to an open source GitHub project while sitting on a fresh $380B Claude valuation. Your competitors see and smell blood. Peter Steinberger sees it. Sam Altman sees it too. He puts him on a podcast. You go on a podcast about… you. Meanwhile the AI bros only want to hear about one thing: the agentic lobster synthesizer man. But you’re in the wrong room discussing the wrong topic at the wrong time. Your competition doesn’t make the same mistake. They make him a huge offer. He probably would’ve taken less. But you insulted him. Made him rebrand twice. Now you buttfumbled at the 1 yard line. Mark Sanchez would be proud. A year behind in the AI race now. And somehow you got posturemaxxed, jestergooned, and beardmogged all in the same week. Comfort isn’t allowed in the AI space. Greed will smite you. Remember: timing is everything.

just so we're clear: Antigravity is a Windsurf wrapper Windsurf is a VSCode wrapper VSCode is an Electron wrapper Electron is a Chromium wrapper Chromium is a C++ wrapper C++ is a C wrapper C is an Assembly wrapper Assembly is a Machine Code wrapper Machine Code is a Binary wrapper Binary is a Physics wrapper Physics is a Math wrapper Math is a Logic wrapper Logic is a Philosophy wrapper Philosophy is a Humans wrapper Humans are a Carbon wrapper Carbon is a Star-forged-matter wrapper Stars are a Gravity wrapper Gravity is… definitely not an Antigravity wrapper
