The Paris AI Action Summit was a big step toward shared ground across the globe, despite how widely defined & valued concepts like human rights, gender equality, linguistic diversity, consumer & IP protection are -- and just one step in the journey. https://shorturl.at/bCz73

A good idea means a bird’s eye view of the idea maze, understanding all the permutations of the idea and the branching of the decision tree, gaming things out to the end of each scenario. s/o Balaji Srinivasan

Though El Salvador’s on-again/off-again relationship with bitcoin can be hazier than a Howey Test, their commitment to crypto remains strong — whether as a sovereign store of value or unofficial currency 🇸🇻

DeepBlue beat Garry Kasparov. AlphaGo beat Lee Sedol. Eugene Goostman was 1 of 5 to ever beat the Turing Test. But what will be the first LLM to beat Humanity's Last Exam? 👤 >🤖 https://agi.safe.ai/

Rainy Days, maybe ☔ Doom & Gloom, hardly🌦️ While Angellist's 2024 State of Venture report does call out a decline in global dealmaking & a consolidation among top VC firms, the silver linings remain strong.

Last night's NYC Tech Awards, hosted by Primary Ventures, was a true testament to why this ecosystem is world-class...and it's all because of the world-class people in it🫶 https://www.primary.vc/firstedition/posts/nyc-tech-awards-2025-startup-honorees

Xenophobic media shifts are dystopian, but seeing the same influencers cross-promote content on RedNote wearing Shein garb is next level. One can only imagine when their masterminds move to WeChat & content is generated by DeepSeek. Minds may close, but not innovation 🚧

Over a decade ago, crypto degens were yelling "Free Ross, until it's backwards" It's backwards, reversed. Will Dread Pirate Roberts return to web3 pseudonymity or will Ross William Ulbricht live a life of pardoned anonymity? https://freeross.org/meet-ross/

Perpetual metamorphosis is the only way an AI nonprofit "benefitting all of humanity" transforms into a $157B for-profit to then spearhead US infrastructure as a public-private partnership with $500B to deploy via the Stargate Project 🐛🦋 https://shorturl.at/IroUe

“If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat. Just get on.” But which rocket would you choose — Blue Origin’s New Glenn or SpaceX’s Starship? Both pushed back today’s launches but perhaps they have different trajectories altogether.

New Year’s resolutions began in ancient Babylon, ~4,000 years ago. Every year we set resolutions with ease, yet struggle to maintain them. Today is Quitter’s Day, the 2nd Friday in January, where 80% of New Year's resolvers abandon ship. Stay strong friends 💪🏾

Four out of five founders are forced out by their boards, and successor CEOs rarely consult with former founding leaders. When they do, however, success rates surge by nearly 10-20%. If you can't stay founder-led, stay founder-inspired.
