Year VII.

[Viren @vtellis]

I'm excited to announce that Uthana’s AI-powered animation is now live in Unity AI.

@unity recently launched Unity AI in Open Beta, with contextual assistance, asset generation, and curated third-party models directly inside the Editor.

Starting today, @Uthana_Inc brings the motion layer to that stack.

@robbiebone @elonmusk The fact that an AI system is better than you at some tasks, can retrieve more declarative knowledge than you, and can write better prose than you does not make it more intelligent than you, or even than your cat.

This analysis on VC returns is missing the most important fact.

Yes, VC returns underperformed on a 2, 5 and 10 year view. They outperformed on a 15, 20, 25 and 30 year view. What’s the difference?

Innovation.

We had the internet wave 1993-2001
We had the cloud wave 2006-2014
We had the mobile wave 2007-2014
We had no commercial innovation for a decade so why are we surprised the returns were lower?
We have the AI wave now.

This will be the biggest value creation of any wave in history.

Love you @danprimack but VC didn’t underperform, innovation did. Now it’s back so I would not be underweight venture.

"The grid itself is civilization."

Radiant CEO Doug Bernauer on productizing nuclear energy:

"Nuclear reactors as products has never been seen before."

"They're always usually these giant mega projects where you dig a huge hole in the ground and you take 5 to 10 years."

"We're targeting one per week coming off of a production line."

"Our product is for off the grid. So a megawatt reactor on a trailer."

"We drive it or fly it to where the customer wants it to go and then turn it on within like 48 hours."

"It lasts 5 years… 2 million gallon diesel equivalent."

"So it's sort of an unbelievable thing where you can grow the grid or put a micro grid anywhere."

.@james_riney: "If the US wants real, functional robots that can survive a 10,000-hour duty cycle in a factory rather than a 5-minute demo on X/Twitter, Japan is here to the rescue."

Early-stage founders should send more investor updates.
There, I said it.

As a (very) small time angel I now see that maybe half of founders send regular updates, which suprised me a bit tbh.

At the end of every @YCombinator batch they give a speech which is essentially: “Just don’t die.”

Every founder has their own way of interpreting/internalising/actioning that, but mine is: “Religiously send an update at the start of every month.”
I never skip and I’m never late.

100% of companies that die, stop sending updates at some point. Its simple to the point of stupidity really: If I’m still sending updates, I’m still alive.

Also has some nice externalities like investors are more likely to be there for you when times are tough.

I love when a product lives up to the original idea that inspired it. And we just dropped a new feature that does just that.

"Any character, controllable in real-time." This was the promise we set out to achieve nearly three years ago. Now, it's available within Uthana
