Introducing the Abundance Agenda. We believe AI will turn luxuries into commodities - making consumers happier, healthier, and more productive than ever before. And a new generation of AI-native companies will lead the way. More from a16z consumer 👇

The A in AI stands for Augmented Intelligence. Pass it on!

For the last 25 years, the fact that I could write code and inspire teams of engineers to write code was a very valuable skill. I don't think it will be valuable in 5 years. My career is being massively disrupted, and I'm riding the front of the wave by building AI-first.

wired.com/story/fast-for… Yep! I've been building agents since March of 2023. Leap over chat and start embracing agents.

Fuck cynicism. Humans are awesome. There is no problem we can't solve. We will find a way.

LLMs are great, but they aren't going to get us to AGI. We need reasoning, hierarchical planning, multi-sensory input, a sprinkle of imagination, and ultimately a "world model". Sidebar: I like to track the development of this technology stack against the evolutionary

I feel so validated.

The most valuable skill of the decade is our ability to use AI. Are you paid for your knowledge? AI has more knowledge than you. Are you paid to communicate? AI is a better communicator than you. Are you paid to move information around? AI will soon be better at that, too.

I'm shifting my language from AI to SI (Super Intelligence) The word "artificial" doesn't fit. It implies a) fake b) sub-par. It also creates a they-them separation. Super Intelligence is more fitting and accurate.

"There's an agent for that" is the new "There's an app for that"

Generative UI is how I am building applications, because it's the future. zdnet.com/article/so-lon…

It’s a golden age for builders. People who leverage AI can now build things that were unimaginable 2yrs ago. What used to take a team of 5 experts, $1M+, and a ton of time can now be built by a solo dev using Cursor in a few days. The age of superbuilders has begun.

LLMs ➡️ Agents ➡️ Multi-Agent ➡️ Societies of Agents We now have worlds where we can simulate different economic, religious, currency, and governmental frameworks. Sounds much better than the real time trial and error we are doing today.

I’m an Independent who thinks Kamala Harris is a better choice than Donald Trump.

The irony is that Trump’s 34 felony convictions would prevent him from getting a job at McDonald’s.

If you care about the border situation, Trump is to blame.

Excited to use H for the next tier of agents
