Consumer AI for now is 90pc media generations/ consumption
One of the mega trends in this YC batch is the wave of consumer AI companies. Consumer was stuck in the doldrums for years, but AI has brought it back in a big way. Here are the 21 consumer AI companies that launched today. 🧵
One thing I didn’t realize until later in life is how the incentives of an industry shape your mood, your outlook, and even your character. In early stage investing, the incentives reward optimists, so it literally pays to keep an optimistic outlook. In journalism, the opposite…
On December 5, 1994 the US 🇺🇸, UK 🇬🇧, & Russia 🇷🇺 signed the Budapest Memorandum. 🇺🇦 surrendered its nuclear weapons in exchange for a promise that if 🇷🇺 ever threatened it, the 🇺🇸 & 🇬🇧 would help. Today, the US Congress does not even approve aid for 🇺🇦. 👉 ARM UKRAINE 🇺🇦 NOW!
Jewish college students are telling Congress today about the unrestrained #antisemitism sweeping their campuses. I was particularly moved by Bella Ingber, a junior at @nyuniversity. Shame on NYU and other schools for their stunning failure to protect Jewish students.
I used to stress about everything a lot. Then I adopted the “Last Time” principle: Stress feels more acute when you don’t know when it’s going to end. - ‘my startup isn’t working’ - ‘investors don’t believe in me’ - ‘my child is crying’ - ‘my parents are annoying’ But…

@NOS Hamas was meer dan alleen brutaal. Neem aan dat jullie “bruut” bedoelen? nos.nl/l/2494362
Sometimes peace can only be achieved thru strength. By destroying an inhumane enemy with no interest in peace. And only after that the victorious can have mercy and build a lasting peace. Wrt Hamas, it feels like that’s the only option left for Israel.
Antony Blinken describes images shared with him of the horrors in Israel: "A baby, an infant, riddled with bullets..." "Soldiers beheaded..." "Young people burned alive in their cars..."
Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo: "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's…
The Earth is 4.5 billion years old and is expected to be swallowed by the sun in about 5 billion years, when Earth is 9.5 billion years old. If we make 100 million years one "Earth year," then the planet is currently 45 (out of a 95-year life). Humans are Earth's mid-life crisis.

In 1696, Johann Bernoulli posed the brachistochrone problem: What's the fastest ramp down a slope? Isaac Newton was mailed the challenge & solved it one night. If you read the solution, it is a stunningly tricky optimization for over 300 years ago. Here is an experimental demo:
I remember a moment in early March 2022, during the Battle of Kyiv. Russians were breaking into Irpin from the northwest, the Bucha-Vorzel side, and the Warsaw Highway. There was an insane mess - lots of civilians leaving their cars behind and trying to make it across a…
Paul van Vliet is overleden. Zijn liederen en teksten blijven! Ik drink op de mensen Die bergen verzetten Die door blijven gaan met hun kop in de wind. Ik drink op de mensen Die risico's nemen Die blijven geloven Met het geloof van een kind
Like my dad, a Korean War vet (11th Airborne, 187th Regimental Combat Team), and NRA Hunter Safety instructor for 25 years, told me a year before he passed: Those guns were never meant for anything besides killing people, and they have no business in civilian hands. He quit NRA.
The ability to communicate privately is a paramount value in any liberal society because without it those in positions of power will inevitably claim a monopoly on truth and do everything in their power to suppress dissent. bit.ly/3GmElfP #Cato1A
