An honor to be a part of this journey @DolevBluvstein 馃 @FinnMurphy12 馃 @josh__kaplan 馃 @benmtaft
With @delta in the news today, it felt like the appropriate time to share this. I鈥檝e been Delta Diamond for 10(!) years. This year will be the last, at least for now. The streak is broken.
I鈥檓 sure complaining about Delta will sound like a champagne problem, but oh well. A few things finally broke me:
And the prices. My god, the prices.
Booking a round-trip MAIN CABIN ticket from JFK <> LAX now costs almost $1,000.
Not Delta One. Not first class. Main cabin.
$1000.
I鈥檝e been incredibly loyal to @Delta for a decade. I鈥檝e actively chosen them when there were cheaper or more convenient options because I thought the loyalty went both ways.
At this point, I鈥檓 just not sure what I鈥檓 being loyal to.
I completed my first triathlon this weekend. There is something amazing about negotiating with your body to do something it has never done before and witnessing the end result. I see how this can become addicting. I will try not to make this my entire personality moving forward.

Cognition President @russelljkaplan says the pace of progress in AI far exceeds enterprise adoption.
Even if you froze AI capabilities today, he says, "you'd still have a decade of crazy progress in the enterprise world."

bro how is cognition just assembling the avengers right now
I've spent the last decade getting deals done.
I鈥檓 now going to do them at one of the most important AI companies in the game. I am joining @cognition as VP of Global Partnerships.
Eight years at Brex taught me how to sprint at what I do best. Grateful to the team that bet on me.
Cognition鈥檚 insane talent density and ambition made it the obvious next move. The dealmaking opportunity is real. Time to get back in the arena. 馃殌
This single best acquisition @cognition has made in their history

The UI is so damn clean. Congrats @bykahlil. In a world of vibe-coded everything, the developers that care deeply about pixel-perfect design stand out.
Excited to announce that @naturalpay has raised a $30M Series A led by @ForerunnerVC to build payments infrastructure for AI agents.
To celebrate, we gave our agent $100K to give to you. Just sign up and our agent will send you between $5 and $10,000 on natural.com 鹿
Proud to be a small part of this. Congrats @DolevBluvstein and team! Just the beginning.
We at @khoslaventures made the largest initial investment yet, as we did in OpenAI, into @TeamOratomic after we looked at a dozen Quantum starts in a decade. On its way to solve Shor's algorithm, the true symbol of getting to "quantum computing" FIRST. oratomic.com/. Join them in building the world鈥檚 first fault-tolerant quantum computer capable of useful applications and a fundamentally new model of computation that could have consequences far beyond what we can predict today
