Day 2 of #VCUnlocked — finding signal in the AI noise.
Yesterday, Jake Saper of @emergencecap:

"Everyone thinks software is the economy. That market is very small compared to the services economy. We still spend the majority of our money on humans. That's the real opportunity."

Jai Das of @SapphireVC touched on an interesting point at #VCUnlocked — AGI may not come from text-only models. Human intelligence is built on movement and embodied experience, not just language.
