We just solved text-to-speech AI. This model can simulate perfect emotion, screaming and show genuine alarm. — clearly beats 11 labs and Sesame — it’s only 1.6B params — streams realtime on 1 GPU — made by a 1.5 person team in Korea!! It's called Dia by Nari Labs.

In the 3 weeks since the tariffs took effect, ocean container bookings from China to the United States are down over 60% industry wide. 🧵

Jelly’s Place is an amazing animal rescue organization and they need support moving locations gofund.me/7f7f6c99

I’ve been thinking lately about how communities depend on quiet, sensible people. I’ve now observed multiple movements where the most sensible people quietly left, and the leadership didn’t notice or care in time, partly because they didn’t realize those people were load-bearing

A while back I saw an underrated tweet that was like “everyone thinks they want to be royalty/aristocracy, but nobody wants to be manager of the commons” I didn’t screenshot it and I don’t remember who posted it, but whoever it was, I appreciate you

Not nearly enough people are talking about the implications of Klarna rolling back some of their AI bets. Not knowing any of the details, I can guess why: Replacing determinism or humans with probabilistic code is fraught with edge cases and require new ways of software

One benefit of AI Agents that we haven’t figured out the full impact of is that we log all of their decisions, logic, and work. This is a data trail we’ve never had before. Which means we get auditability, forking, or rollbacks on knowledge work.

If you're a technical operator with 6+ years of experience OR a former founder curious about a career in VC, DM me. I’m working with a number of top VC firms. Also have a few clients - funds leading seeds through series Bs - who are looking for experienced Venture investors.

Cheap chair from Amazon breaks. No rope to fix it. No problem

Silicon Valley predicted all of this, 10yrs ago. “Are you kidding me? You gave your AI permission to overwrite code in the internal file system? Were you gonna tell me about this?”

Had a great chat with David Soria Parra (co-creator of MCP) and Theodora Chu (MCP PM) about the origins of the protocol, tips for building clients and servers, and what the future of MCP looks like.

Excited to go to Wispr Flow Startup School event

Incredibly excited to announce that Wispr Flow has raised a $30M series A to help build a future where AI lets us be more present, less distracted, and even more in a state of Flow. Voice dictation is just day one at Wispr - if you're excited about building the future of HCI,

why would a16z waste a bull post on cursor? (and we think it goes much higher.)

notes on context engineering with Walden of Cognition

Seriously blown away by Moonshot's new Kimi K2 model in Cline. It beats Claude Opus 4 on coding benchmarks and is up to 90% cheaper. It was clearly built to excel at plan -> act, iteratively improve code, and complex tool use instructions all making it the perfect match for how

“the team copies Terraform plans into Claude Code to ask "what's this going to do? Am I going to regret this?" “” lol
