LOVE. TO. SEE. IT 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

In the absence of an update, people assume the worst.

I've never seen VCs make a bigger mistake than generative AI. They are funding many projects that are destined to be abject failures. Even worse, they are totally missing the places where ML will actually have impact and generate enterprise value. Let me explain:

Biggest takeaway from sanjiv’s Converge on Climate conference last week: the talent density in climate rn is 🔥 ☄️🚀 the brightest minds are determined to solve this problem and I can’t wait to see what’s next

Historically, the health of the economy (including inflation) has had very little correlation with whoever is leading the country. You know what *is* influenced by who’s in office? And what *does* impact the economy? Reproductive rights. 🧵

Bone to pick: What do we even mean when we talk about "improving patient outcomes?" Hear this ad nauseam, but it's so vague. So many q's: By what measure? And how long is the improvement for? And did that improvement cost? And improvement compared to what? And according to whom?

Twitter is feeling very “string quartet starts playing on the Titanic” at the moment.

The biggest sign of inflation is the Forbes 30u30 having 600 people

one of my greatest life lessons is that the train don't run on time. there is no track. no conductor. no planned path. you are not supposed to be somewhere at some time. this was hard to learn at 27 for a typeA person. but it was also very freeing. the trains don't run on time.

If there’s a better synopsis of PMF, I haven’t seen it. Thank you Elizabeth Yin 💛 🙌🏼

Excited for this convo + to share my two cents!

tldr: normalize slowness, because it often represents presence—a scarce resource in our always going culture that rewards hustle and punishes reflection slowness is a way to adjust your grip on life, on the moment you’re in. pause. breathe. look around. proceed. there’s no rush!

1) Can a massive business be built in this space? 2) Is this the team to build it? That’s really all that matters to VCs ✨
