Friend of mine has just arrived in Britain.

I think it's incredibly difficult to appreciate just how smart GPT4 is until you start to get it to program for you.

Last night, I was targeted for a sophisticated phishing attack on my Apple ID.

This was a high effort concentrated attempt at me.

Other founders are being targeted by the same group/attack, so I’m sharing what happened for visibility.

🧵 Here’s how it went down:

Surreal.

Like I’ve been invitee to the Presidents’ WhatsApp group .

Also: zing!

It is incredible to me that it's taken until now for a company to start doing this but I hope others follow suit.

Monzo 🏦 now has a feature in their phone that confirms whether it's them talking to you. So simple, so powerful!

Here's the result of my self-imposed challenge of seeing if I could recreate a simple photo from my kitchen using an ai-assisted workflow.. Still-life painting is one of the most common disciplines for artists. Wouldn't call this one super-successful but also not a total failure…

“Coding” was never the source of value, and people shouldn’t get overly attached to it. Problem solving is the core skill. The discipline and precision demanded by traditional programming will remain valuable transferable attributes, but they won’t be a barrier to entry.

The first review of Catherine Nixey's Heresy in today's The Times and The Sunday Times says it's a brilliant book. I'm biased, obv, but I do rather agree. Out from Picador Books on 7 March but you pre-order now. thetimes.co.uk/article/1ac611…

Really enjoyed this conversation with James about some of the things we might expect in AI

I feel like I've spent a lot of time going through the Supabase docs. For something that's nominally low-code, getting it to do useful things and having a local environment feels a lot harder than spinning up my own Nestjs API. What am I missing?

Given that trains are more aerodynamic than cars, have lower rolling resistance and more passengers per kg of vehicle, why does trainline reckon my CO2 usage is only a third of what it would have been by car? I’d expect it to be far lower…

Two weeks ago, I asked five Dragon’s Den contestants (and one former dragon) whether getting a dragon was really worth it.

Their answers made me view last week’s piece of “Dragon's Den History” very differently.

The history was made by a pair of great founders. They had solid…

Prepping for Karen Bartley’s first board meeting of the year this week and reflecting on 2023.

Feeling thankful for the team's hard work and our customers' trust in us. In 2023 we:

* Grew net revenues 180% YoY
* Grew customers 60% YoY
* Grew trx volume by 90% YoY to $95B in ‘23
*…

God dammit this man is good!

Wow, Clearbit finally has pricing. I guess all it took was $150M 😂

This war in Gaza is intended to destroy Hamas and make Israel and Jews more safe. That is the stated mission. So it is important to preface to what I am about to say with this: I am an American Jew who fundamentally believes in and supports the existence of the state of Israel.…
