I can't stress enough how CRAP an experience it is to still work with dinosaur era @Adobe products in today's set of AI-enabled workflows. The spammy software always tries to upsell me and they insist on inserting themselves everywhere on my screen. Just fuck right off pls.

@thaiscbranco_ @CRV @AmplifyPartners Excited to be part of the journey!

@FDavidsonT Excited for this! Have loved using Odessia for travel planning this summer.

@FDavidsonT Excited to use this!

@TMZ This is terrible, TMZ. The dude is homeless because Karen Bass let his house burn down due to gargantuan incompetence. His airstream is all he owns right now. He’s a fire victim. You really tried to do a hit piece here, TMZ.

This is the best campaign ad I've seen to date. Gavin as Palpatine, Karen Basura as Vader. So good!

[Charles Curran @charliebcurran]

LA is worth saving. Vote Spencer Pratt.

[Sunny Dhillon @SunDhillon]

@charliebcurran Force push Darth Basuras to the bottom of the polls! This is the best campaign ad i've seen to date. Pratt is #ANewHope

[Sunny Dhillon @SunDhillon]

@GraduatedBen @elisegabriel How dare Spencer suggest homeless drug addicts be forced to receive treatment and help! So heartless. 😉

[Sunny Dhillon @SunDhillon]

This is ridiculous. So much Fire Aid money that was intended for LA fire victims went to random unrelated non profits. Where are the indictments for this? What are next steps to bring these thieves to justice?

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

California Rep Kevin Kiley says they have learned the $100 million dollar pacific palisades Fire Aid concert money was laundered to nonprofits

“What we have learned is absolutely beyond belief — Tens of thousands of people donated raising a hundred million dollars for what they was were told was direct relief for the victims. But now we've learned that this money didn't go to the victims at all. Instead, it went to nonprofits”

Here are some examples

- CA Native Vote Project: $100,000 for voter participation for Native Americans
- Community Organized Relief Effort (CORE): $250,000 for programs prioritizing undocumented immigrants
- Altadena Talks Foundation: $100,000 went to supported podcasts, including Toni Raines podcast
- NAACP Pasadena: $100,000 political advocacy
- Los Angeles Black Worker Center $550,000 to political advocacy organizations
- Center for Applied Ecological Remediation: $500,000 for fungus/microbe/plant soil remediation projects

Over $500,000 went to bonuses for nonprofit leaders and consultants

AI world models are sending shockwaves through the gaming industry, as the future of gaming engines is called into question. https://t.co/mveeUHKrh1

@BillAckman A grave concern I have - what happens when AI generated deepfakes corroborate whatever narrative each ‘side’ wishes to push. When seeing is no longer believing, what possible evidence presented would ever quieten either side?

[Sunny Dhillon @SunDhillon]

Proud to have been early seed investors in this defense tech rocket ship!

Huge news! We’ve completed our $200M Series D funding round and acquired Battle Road Digital, two major steps towards building the unified command operating system our military needs.

This is why there’s a fierce fight over Warner Bros. Remixed storytelling with licensed IP is the future of content.

@OpenAI and @Disney have announced a watershed partnership:

-Fans can create short videos and share them on Sora, drawing from 200+ characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars.

-Fans will be able to watch curated selections of Sora-generated videos on Disney+.

-ChatGPT Images will be able to turn prompts into fully generated images in seconds.

IP from the entertainment industry is how AI companies can expand their moats. Veo and Nano Banana from Google are top-class offerings, yet OpenAI will now convert every Disney fan into a power ChatGPT/Sora user.

For Hollywood studios, these are opportunities to deepen fan engagement and monetize in new ways, which makes WB’s IP (DC Comics, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc.) even more enticing for Netflix and Paramount.

Notably, the OpenAI-Disney agreement does not include any talent likenesses or voices. There is still more ground to cover, money to be made, and legal battles to be waged between Hollywood and Silicon Valley.

Disney characters will be available in OpenAI’s tools in early 2026. I foresee licensed deepfakes and remixes creating a new wave of short-form, personalized memes and short-form movies. As audiences, we will use these the way we use GIFs and stickers right now.

In the long term, this will usher in a whole new phase of mass personalized content—if there isn’t a show you want to watch, one will be created for you in real time. It’s interactive fan fiction brought to life.

I can’t wait to create my own Thanos-Darth Vader mashup video soon.

The @nytimes clearly doesn’t appreciate the benefit of having a successful repeat entrepreneur and VC helping steer our tech policy in America. David has been awesome to work with and I am incredibly grateful for the sacrifice he made to help ensure our leadership in AI.

INSIDE NYT’S HOAX FACTORY

Five months ago, five New York Times reporters were dispatched to create a story about my supposed conflicts of interest working as the White House AI & Crypto Czar.

Through a series of “fact checks” they revealed their accusations, which we debunked in detail. (Not surprisingly the published article included only bits and pieces of our responses.)

Their accusations ranged from a fabricated dinner with a leading tech CEO, to nonexistent promises of access to the President, to baseless claims of influencing defense contracts.

Every time we would prove an accusation false, NYT pivoted to the next allegation. This is why the story has dragged on for five months.

Today they evidently just threw up their hands and published this nothing burger. Anyone who reads the story carefully can see that they strung together a bunch of anecdotes that don’t support the headline. And of course, that was the whole point.

At no point in their constant goalpost-shifting was NYT willing to update the premise of their story to accept that I have no conflicts of interest to uncover.

As it became clear that NYT wasn’t interested in writing a fair story, I hired the law firm Clare Locke, which specializes in defamation law. I’m attaching Clare Locke’s letter to NYT so readers have full context on our interactions with NYT’s reporters over the past several months.

Once you read the letter, it becomes very clear how NYT willfully mischaracterized or ignored the facts to support their bogus narrative.

Excited to back @Span_Platform as a Day 1 investor at @KyberKnightVC

[Span @Span_App]

We’re proud to announce that we've raised $25M to help engineering teams navigate AI transformation with clarity.

AI has reshaped how software gets built, but leaders still lack the tools to understand what's really happening.

How to separate hype from reality. How to understand AI's true impact on quality, velocity, and team architecture.

Span gives engineering teams the missing layer of context and understanding.

The participation of over 100 CTOs, CPOs, founders, funds, and operators reflects just how deeply what we're doing resonates across the industry.

📽️ Watch the announcement below.

California Governor @GavinNewsom just vetoed a bill that would have allowed shelters and housing to ban felony drug use. It had passed Assembly and Senate unanimously.

The petty corruption between Newsom and NGOs has made California the drug trafficking capital of the USA.

@KTmBoyle So so good! I loved Big too when i was a little older. I still go and run across the big floor piano whenever I go to FAO Schwartz for Christmas gifts!
