Saw Apple filming what looked like a new ipad in Battersea Power Station (their EU hq) about a month ago - from about 20m away it looked kinda cool and pretty different to the current lineup

The rise of AI means *great* software is necessary again. After spending all day looking at demos so far today, I can say resolutely: Founders must learn how to make good user experiences again. I can tell immediately. I only want to fund people who can make great software.

Also agrees with the notion that actual use cases/tools beat out against the base models. There'll be ~3 successful LLM companies, but ~3000 successful use-case companies based around LLMs

Honestly crazy how accurate your intuition gets once you start actually listening to it. The best cause-effect decisions I’ve made have had seemingly no rational reasoning at the time, but by trusting what I *felt*, have turned out to be insanely valuable.

Alfie Ranstead I would say it makes a better founder. I used to heavily rely on logic, when really listening to my intuition was the way to go. Now I’m a lot better at following intuition

I don't think they're cherry picking - seems more random variation of users. I got it on the day of the announcement and I just use Figma to comment/reference our designer's designs (& figjam for system diagrams)

One thing in life that surprised me is that, at least in tech, guys who are worth hundreds of millions or even billions are literally just dudes when you meet them
