Chicago has a lot of determination and resources to be a startup hub.
Damn sure don’t want to miss out on the AI Revolution.
But they haven’t yet produced excellent startups.
Successful, sure. But category defining? Nope.
Like I was BAFFLED at a data science conference panel this week which referred to ai as autonomous intelligence and discouraged boomer companies to adopt ai entirely 🥴
@austinxwalker 3. Mymodel acts as a consent infrastructure for compliant, win-win consumer data transactions. We give people ownership of a ‘model’ of their live behavioral data and enable them to share access with brands for payment.
@austinxwalker 1. Consumer data will be crucial to power ai models and market intelligence
2. Policy and regulation have made good consumer data harder to access. Compliant data requires user consent. 99% of consumers would share data for incentives but have nowhere to do so
@Paragondisciple I (not so humbly) apply! These Jewish sensibilities aren’t cheap, guy!! 6k and we’re locked in, I’ll even call you a mensch (great guy x10 to us Semitics)
Boom is supersonic. On Jan. 28, 2025 at 8:31am PST / 16:31 GMT, XB-1 broke the sound barrier.
Chief Test Pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg safely and successfully achieved supersonic speed in XB-1, the first civil supersonic jet made in America.
✅New top speed: Mach 1.122 (652 KTAS)
✅New max altitude: 35,290 ft.
✅Flight time: 34 minutes
✅Airspace: Bell X-1 Supersonic Corridor and the Black Mountain Supersonic Corridor in Mojave, CA
XB-1 demonstrates that Boom has the team, technology, and tools to deliver supersonic commercial travel with Overture, cutting travel times in half.
Congratulations to the Boom team on making aviation history!
#AppleIntelligence has been out for 2 months and is still ~absolute garbage~

If they are this slow to improve it, perhaps there’s an acquisition in the works … I know who my money is on 🤭
