I was talking with someone at a startup building “the agentic layer” who was excitedly telling me about how their agents would seamlessly navigate/extract/aggregate data from a customer’s various SORs
I just stopped him and was like “Why do you think these SORs would let you do that?”
He didn’t have a good answer. He was just like “but it’s the customer’s data they can do what they want!”

The TL;DR: start at a high level, then progressively dive deeper
Got to put on my chef hat after a decade of being out of the game for a fundraiser dinner that my pastor asked me to lead.
Nearly 500 plates, 70 people, only one month of planning and so much help from an amazing group of volunteers.
Success!
when you invest in all of these companies can you make these kinds of tweets as a "third party observer?"
