The biggest opportunity for would-be startup founders is AI. But the most underpriced opportunity is probably non-AI ideas. So if you have a good non-AI idea, go for it, because everyone else is going to overlook it.

I've joined @usv

[Rebecca Kaden @rebeccakaden]

Over the last few months we’ve rebuilt how we work @usv entirely. We’ve always loved being small in size (team; fund, relatively) but with tentacles that reach broadly. Now, that’s easier than ever with an agentic workforce.

The agents are on our emails and messages, pushing back, suggesting new ideas, finding opportunities. It’s a work in progress—so, as we always do, we like to publish it half-baked in the hopes that we’ll learn what we’re missing and where we can push further. If you’ve built an agentic workforce to change how your partnership operates, we want to share ideas.

The fertiliser crisis - 40% of urea processed from gas in the gulf. Meant to be used by farmers this quarter. Crop yields will be a lot lower this year. Good pod on the 2nd order impacts of the war https://t.co/TLD3ugfHr9

@FinnMurphy12 @tylercowen It must be a sign of "deep thinking mode" for humans :)

[Connor Murphy 🌁 @ConnorPM]

Hi AI - can you merge the intelligence and infectious curiosity of @tylercowen with the optimism and risk appetite of @FinnMurphy12 - maybe throw in some cups of teas and wooly jumpers for the craic :)

Looking forward to listening to this in full

[Finn Murphy @FinnMurphy12]

We aren't close to being prepared for the technological changes coming our way.

In our first Forecast 2050 episode, @tylercowen lays out his greatest concerns for the next 25 years:

- Collapsing birth rates
- Aging societies + mass immigration
- AI taking over everything by trick
- Technology creating new problems
- Why humans aren’t ready for the new era of rapid change

Software engineering changed more in the last 3 months than the preceeding 30 years.

Everything about running a software company needs to be rethought from first principles.
