The dumbest thing that schools are doing is a blanket ban on AI for learning.

Haven't checked it out but Clay connectors were very expensive, although very good. Cheap decision models might make GTM at scale cost effective for businesses

Now you can ask ChatGPT to try on any pair of glasses for you. Yes, it will distort your face but AGI is here.

I gave ChatGPT a photo of an empty bookshelf to fill with books that I should read.
You can give ChatGPT a photo of an empty bookshelf and ask it to fill the shelves with real books based on what it knows about you. Kinda fun that image gen is so good now!

Need a genre between audiobooks and podcasts. Something like the founders podcast but for any book. Books are still best for long form content but there's something missing when a piece meant to be read is listened to.

A founder just texted me frantic that some deranged person was threatening them on a discord saying they were going to try to attack their reputation. My response:

Pretty insane how beautiful @ChatGPT sketching is now. Prompt: in a sketch, give me the best setup for a 34 inch, a 27inch and a laptop.

Did office hours yesterday with a very smart but nerdy founder. When I suggested he might want a more outgoing cofounder to do sales, he said he didn't, because most of his sales would be to agents. I had to admit he could be right.

I had no idea EB-1A approval rates had dropped this sharply. EB-1A is the US green card for people with extraordinary ability (founders, scientists, artists, etc.). Approval rates fell from ~75% to ~32% since early 2025, while O-category visa approvals stayed around 90%.

I sincerely hope that a version of what @paulg wrote here is true, that kind people succeed as I have gravitated towards kind colleagues & now founders, all my life

Autonomous consumer agents (Grokbot, Instinct, Town, Muse, etc) are the biggest win for consumer pricing power Airlines, hotels and retailers are 100% going to need to revise their policies and strategies when a material % of their user base is: - monitoring for price changes to bookings post purchase - capitalizing on “lowest price guarantee” claims - automagically requesting late arrival airfare fees and other service blusters - notifying a consumer to hold off on making a purchase because a retailer historically launches a sale the following week in a season - negotiating a quote received from one home services vendor across a sea of alternatives Agents begin the march towards consumer abundance
