NPR hasn't tweeted since Musk's unjust labeling decision, and its bio now directs visitors elsewhere: "You can find us every other place you read the news."

"As Sweden and Finland have chosen to dispense with their neutrality policies in favour of NATO membership, Ireland too must face up to reality of European security as it is, not as we wish it to be. Despite fierce opposition, the Tánaiste will address the Dáil later this week."

My mother was deported to Siberia today 74 years ago as a 6-months old baby. Russia hasn’t changed.
Russia has long history of having no regards towards human life & their homes.
#OTD 7⃣4⃣years ago Soviets deported over 20 000 Estonians from their homes to Russia. Like they are doing now with children of #Ukraine🇺🇦
We commemorate those whose lives were destroyed. #NeverForget

It took 4.5 years and ~$1bn raised for OpenAI to launch GPT-3, which was their first PMF product.
That breaks every “rule” in the startup world, around mvp and being capital light pre-pmf.
Goes to show you that you have to define your own rules to get outsized success.

Two painful reporter layoffs on @NPR's investigative team this week: @a_fast & @ChiaraEisner. Both are smart, skilled, talented, and adored by their peers. I hope our terrible loss will be another media outlet's great fortune. Contact me for recommendations of either:

Terrible news today. Political prisoner Ihar Losik attempted suicide by cutting his hands & neck. He has been on hunger strike for a long time. Now he's in the infirmary. Ihar was sentenced to 15 yrs, his wife Darya is also jailed. The Belarus regime's inhumanity knows no limits.

Some don a rough cloak and grow a long beard, and say: 'I am a philosopher.' But no man says 'I am a musician' just because he holds a plectrum, or 'I am a blacksmith' if he has put on an apron. Philosophy is in the art, not the garb.

In case helpful for a broader audience, a number of VCs were on a call tonight with the new SVB CEO. Here are a few data points they shared with the group:

The Italian Minister of Defense accused the PMC "Wagner" of fueling the migration crisis
The PMC "Wagner" is involved in the surge of migrants from Africa, said the head of the Italian Ministry of Defense, Guido Crosetto. According to him, in this way Moscow takes revenge on the countries supporting Ukraine.
"I think it is now safe to say that the exponential growth of the migration phenomenon from African shores is part of a clear strategy of hybrid warfare implemented by the Wagner group using its considerable weight in some African countries," Crosetto said.
The minister called on NATO allies to help Italy confront the growing number of migrants.
The head of the PMC, Prigozhin, in response to a question from journalists, insulted Crosetto and said he was not aware of the migration crisis in Italy.

Oh my. Some Silicon Valley startup was set to announce layoffs today. But it had to cancel the announcement, because the SVB collapse means it currently doesn't have the money to offer severance bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
