This is the part of my job at @a16z that most gets me up in the morning: building an incredible team.

We’re hiring for a lot of roles at the moment:

Chief of Staff: help me run all our initiatives at the intersection of investing, networks, and media. Senior role with a big impact.

Marketings and Comms Leadership: own the narrative for the a16z portfolio and firm. We’re hiring a CMO and a Chief Comms Officer.

Head of Podcasts: run, produce, scale our podcasts end-to-end. We’re also looking for a podcast host for new podcasts.

Content: define the agenda for tech. Build the most well-read and high-taste tech publication in the industry as an editor, writer, or specialist in growth/operations.

Social: build the biggest go-direct channels for the firm and top-tier CEOs, drive content strategy, design and audience growth.

Research: help us curate the most important conversations in tech.

Networks: Help build digital and IRL community across our extended networks of founders, investors, creators, and the tech ecosystem more broadly. Help run our VIP group chat operation. Help us source and identify amazing future founders at top companies today.

College: help us build a network of talented young people on campuses across the country (and the world).

Events: own flagship gatherings and summits that create moments people talk about.

Video: we want to take flyers on creative directors, content generalists, and aspiring filmmakers in tech.

More broadly, we’re interested in hiring anyone doing something exceptional at the intersection of investing and networks or content.

People here love the work, the people, and the growth.

Anthropic would have built this in a day and a dev would have tweeted the news. At OpenAI, an exec is telling you about a plan.

That gap tells you everything.

In the last 7 days, Anthropic shipped Dispatch, channels, voice mode, /loop, 1M context GA, MCP elicitation, persistent Cowork on mobile, Excel and PowerPoint cross-app context, inline charts, and 64k default output tokens. Felix Rieseberg tweeted "we're shipping Dispatch" and you could control your desktop Claude from your phone that afternoon. Every launch came from an engineering account or a GitHub release.

In the same 7 days, OpenAI shipped GPT-5.4 mini and nano. Redesigned the model picker. Sunset the "Nerdy" personality preset. Announced three acquisitions.

To find a comparable volume of shipped product from OpenAI, you have to rewind to December.

This is the most underrated difference in AI right now. Anthropic PMs don't write PRDs. Boris Cherny, head of Claude Code, ships 10 to 30 PRs a day and hasn't written code by hand since November. 60 to 100 internal releases daily. Cowork was built with Claude Code in 10 days. The tools build the next version of the tools. Every cycle compresses the last one. Engineers are empowered to ship and announce. The entire org runs like a product team, not a corporation.

OpenAI has the opposite problem. Fidji Simo is CEO of Applications, a title that exists because engineers aren't empowered to ship without executive approval chains. She joined from Instacart. Before that, a decade at Meta running the Facebook app. Since she arrived, OpenAI has acquired 12 companies for $11 billion in 10 months and announced a "superapp" consolidation through the Wall Street Journal. The exec responsible for shipping it is tweeting about "phases of exploration and refocus" on the product she hasn't shipped yet. That's what happens when you layer a Meta-style product org on top of an AI lab. Decisions go up. Shipping slows down. Announcements replace releases.

Anthropic's product announcements come from the people who wrote the code. OpenAI's come from the C-suite and the press. One of those loops compounds. The other one meetings.

It's the terminally online news junkies who are detached from the actual reality.

We've been manipulated by algorithms and politicians amplifying the worst of humanity. Our feeds and screens spread a twisted, inaccurate view of America.
