@ConnorPM done! Or was that not a riddle? :)

@christianreber Governments won't save us. We can't wait for change to happen, we must make change inevitable. The answer isn't regulation or conferences or committees. Only way is to build and force the status quo to adapt.

2026 is a BRUTAL grind in VC. You start in Davos, freeze in Aspen, hit Upfront, survive Milken, then it’s straight to Paris for the French Open. Briefly back in NYC for the Knicks. Then, total blur: SuperReturn in Berlin, Founders Forum in London, then back stateside for the World Cup, back to Paris for Raise AI, Idaho for Sun Valley, quick respite in Mykonos, then the Goldman tech gauntlet, Slush in Finland, NeurIPS in freakin’ Sydney… and *boom*, a productive year of thought leadership and adding value is over, and you’re a wreck.

I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America.

This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.

Fun chatting with you, @slice_fund

[slice @slice_fund]

In this episode, we go across the pond to Berlin, where @ramz is building a €10M fund as a solo GP backing the scientists and founders most European VCs overlook within bio, neuro and foundational AI

"I chatted with an LLM today, here's what it taught me about fearmongering and clickbait posts that maximize my reach."

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights.

What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

A brief thought on why we need to pay more attention.

@roncohen not entirely sure, tbh. Germany has a lot going for it, but this nonsense drives me nuts.

[Ramzi Rizk @ramz]

There is no bigger scam than notaries. Zero value added. Charging a percentage of the transaction fee. Every time I leave feeling like I've been robbed of time and money. Every time I have the urge to scream about it on X.

The fallacy of evaluating the future through today's lens.

On The Inevitability of Cognitive Atrophy
Some cognitive tasks are fine to give up. Others are core to our identity and personality. Do we know which is which?

"general first impression is enough"

"be critical but constructive. don't invent things."

Anyone else starting to talk to humans like LLMs?

[Ramzi Rizk @ramz]

We have the talent. We have the resources.

We have enough people with great ideas and the right mindset (the rest can follow).

All we need is for the bureaucrats to get out of the way and let us build.

In der USA sind die meisten Menschen enthusiastisch.
In Europa werde ich beschimpft, Leute schreien REGULIERUNG und VERANTWORTUNG.

Und wenn ich wirklich hier eine Firma baue dann kann ich mich mit Themen wie Investitionsschutzgesetz, Mitarbeiterbeteiligung und lähmenden Arbeitsregulierungen abkämpfen. Bei OAI arbeiten die meisten Leute 6-7 Tage die Woche und werden depentsprechend bezahlt. Be uns ist das illegal.
