Nvidia, Amazon, Google will have to divest from Anthropic if Hegseth gets his way. This is simply attempted corporate murder. I could not possibly recommend investing in American AI to any investor; I could not possibly recommend starting an AI company in the United States.

235+ UK/European alumni, €264m raised successfully (yes, > a quarter Billion, during the worst VC downturn and the rest).
Not just Dutch, all countries welcome
Shameful that one individual could smoke $12BN of other people's money, get out with $700m (!) for himself and leave a pile of wortheless junk to all investors.
Fleeced.
WeWork’s stock was down 33% after hours today to 13 cents, after closing at 21 cents with a mere $166 million valuation.

Fascinated by the utter lack of understanding of sarcasm... A thing of beauty... Those replies are gold ! 🤣
Brilliant.
Coz you heard all of them if you've lived in blighty long enough
Various ways a British person responds to being deeply insulted:
“Bit harsh”
“There’s no need for that”
“Unnecessary”
“Mate…”
“That’s your opinion”
“Oh cheers!”
“Thanks a bunch”
“I beg your pardon”
“Steady on”
“Well…”
“Have you quite finished?”
“Fair enough”
“That’s uncalled for”
“Bit rude”
“I’ll put the kettle on”
“Wow”
“Anything else?”
“Right-o”
“Thanks for your honesty”
“And you’re sure about that?”
“Blimey”
“Yeah, well, you’re not perfect either”
“Charming”
“I see”
“I’m sorry you feel that way”
“Sorry”
Love it when "X is history"... advertising ("Google won, it's over" > advertising pie blew up since), Banking ("crypto, banks are finished" > now everybody's moved into...AI woo!), now designers.
It's a great tool and it's enough.
(my kid'd make a better logo too btw)
IMHO ;)
Hoping to fundraise this year? NOBODY was born a fundraiser, so don't think "you'll be OK" reading the web. You won't. Come get funded. 210+ companies did, ask them. Simple.
Next programme starts Monday in 2 weeks. Now you know. lnkd.in/e7zVGd8k

Another piece of solid commonsense from @gdibner
In short, pause for a sec and stop acting like you know what's coming. Learn, don't state.

To put this into context, during the CRAZY year of 2021, the whole of the Tech industry, globally, attracted $660bn
Oil bigger than tech.
Who's solving what, again?

Probably the best thing you'll see today.
