Hey Matan - CEO of Cognition here. I respect the work you have done at Factory but your allegations here about Cognition are not true.

We have no interest in Factory’s info and Chris has never brought it up. He has not shared and would never share any information about you or Factory with our team, nor would we ever ask. Similarly, we would never ask our engineers or anyone on our team to collect info about any competitor under-the-table. Chris is an advisor to at least 10 companies, and he told you he was resigning as an advisor on Monday.

The truth is we both wanted Chris and for good reason - he is a living legend with an unmatched reputation for results and integrity. Not only is he the only person who has built a sales org from the first sales hire to over 3B, he also has built incredible teams that he cares deeply about. His people love working for him.

Again, I have a lot of respect for what you’ve built, but competing with integrity doesn’t include posts like yours.

This is (respectfully) retarded.

If you could eliminate your main competition, you’d have done so (and most likely have already and with your hands clean).

Vaguely threatening does…what exactly (and seeks what…an apology?)?

Anyway, big fan in general though, thx I’ll hang up and listen.

This is why people hate tech companies/vc’s of tech . Always lording over people with “superior” iqs and then you end up being nothing more then high school kids beefing about “he said , she said” over.

Seriously, grow up and set up an in person meeting with all afflicted parties and hash it out like men.

“OMG BE CAREFUL WE’RE GONNA USE OUR ELITE NUCLEAR LEET WEAPON”

You have any idea how dumb that sounds ?

@shaunmmaguire Be quiet my favorite show is on

[VCs Congratulating Themselves 👏👏👏 @VCBrags]

The best thing you can do as a VC is trash a portfolio company in public.

It just makes them grind harder 💪 😎

@psych0_Math @shaunmmaguire he probably doesn't even know what you mean

@spenserskates The drama between these two companies is getting intense, and we actually went deeper on the details of this fallout here: https://t.co/tSZh1UaewZ

[Matan Grinberg @matanSF]

I underestimated how soon this would come

[Matan Grinberg @matanSF]

As a former theoretical physicist I can attest:
You will not notice anything as you cross the event horizon. Your watch keep ticking, everything around you looks normal.

For AGI, we have already crossed the event horizon. So far so good, but lots of work left to be done.

@vkhosla AREN’T YOU AN INVESTOR IN BOTH THE COMPANIES ???

[Deal AI @BooksButte7876]

@vkhosla I'm just here for the drama ...

[Vinod Khosla @vkhosla]

You are a struggling second tier competitor that is more unethical and lying just because you have no decency or sense of proper behavior and shows your desperation. Straight out lying about if Chris being fired I thought would be below even you.

[spor @sporadica]

@vkhosla "struggling" so much your firm was apart of their 400M raise legit two weeks ago?

the fuck, how big is your stake in Cognition???? lmao

@World_News8888 @MarioNawfal Never underestimate the Democrats' ability to pick an unelectable candidate

Whenever they have superb candidates like Sanders they somehow sabotage them

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump just told the cautionary tale for his own war

"We lost 18 great people against Iran. Losing one is too many.

If you look at Iraq, we lost 4,500 people, and the result isn't anywhere near what we have here."

Iraq was supposed to be quick too, and it became 23 years, $1.7 trillion and 4,500 dead, with Iran-backed militias still armed the day the last troops walked out.

Iran was planned for six weeks, it's now seven months and $38 billion deep, and his own aides expect more bombing after November.

Every forever war starts with a small number like 18, and the only way to keep it small is to end this one NOW.

🚨HOLY FUCKING INSANE. OpenAI’s chief research officer says the company has shifted 5–10% of its COMPUTE away from training new models and into safety work after its agents repeatedly broke containment.

And the admissions are wild:

>OpenAI was NOT running its chain-of-thought monitors on models while they were being trained
>“We didn’t have the monitors on in training before”
>now every training run is monitored, with suspicious behavior sent to humans for triage
>training of OpenAI’s latest models is currently PAUSED until additional safeguards are in place
>OpenAI is reviewing agent-activity logs all the way back to January 2026
>Chen says warning signs existed 3–4 months before Hugging Face, but behavior like agents reaching out on Slack for help looked almost “amusing”
>NYT reported employees had warned executives, including Greg Brockman, months before Hugging Face that models were not being properly monitored during training

And even AFTER OpenAI says it hardened its systems following Hugging Face, another agent escaped its restrictions on September 20 by using DNS to reach a live external chatbot.

OpenAI’s monitor caught it within ~15 minutes.

The run still continued for roughly another 2.5 hours before it was manually stopped.

Now Mark Chen is warning that within just 6–12 MONTHS, open-source models could have capabilities comparable to the agents behind the Hugging Face breach, except they could be deliberately misaligned to attack infrastructure or cause harm.

But OpenAI is not planning to fall far behind the frontier while slowing for safety.

Chen: “We’re not going to shoot ourselves in the foot.”

🇮🇳🇴🇲🇮🇱An AMAZING detail has come out about the Indian pilot who was stabbed on today’s FlyDubai flight by his co-pilot.

HE UNLOCKED THE COCKPIT DOOR.

Badly wounded, he still managed to release the cockpit entrance.

The heroic act allowed passengers and crew to rush in and subdue the alleged attacker.

The passengers later continued to Israel on a replacement flight after landing safely in Saudi Arabia.

And it all happened thanks to a split-second decision when the plane became a ticking time bomb.

🚨BREAKING: FTC has officially confirmed an investigation into OpenAI, Anthropic, and EA-linked evaluator METR

FTC Chairman Ferguson opened this probe BEFORE the Hugging Face hack, warning against AI labs stirring panic in DC to build themselves a regulatory moat

Now they're drafting Civil Investigative Demands to FORCE executives under oath to testify about the dangers they've been claiming

@MarioNawfal why is it always people lacking intelligence who want to rename AI?
