We map systems, talk about systemic change, and support market systems and entrepreneurial ecosystem development, but how can the data about the system itself create better financial and impact returns? Here's one look at how investors can use systems data.

R.I.P paid courses...

You can use any LLM like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude to build a custom course on any topic or subject.

Here’s the mega prompt that we use to get world-class education for free:

[Loic @LoicReco]

Anthropic released their complete prompt engineering guide.

99% won't read it. I spent 3 days testing every single technique.

While you're saying "please" and "thank you" to AI, smart operators are using advanced techniques to 10x their output.

Here's how you can do the same:

[Justine Moore @venturetwins]

Our team at @a16z spends all day studying the future of consumer AI.

We just dropped an hour-long podcast with our learnings so far and what we hope to see from startups.

I feel like outside of coding, real world usage of AI agents is nascent at best.

Someone prove me wrong - what's an AI workflow or agent you've set up that's super useful?

Something that runs automatically and gives you value without you having to go back and forth with it?

[GC Cooke @Gccooke]

Marc Andreessen's latest prediction is insane:

"AI will make everything so cheap, it'll break the economy."

Those who understand this will build generational wealth.

Time is running out. Here's how to prepare yourself:

[Hamza A. @HamzaInstantly]

There's not a single AI right now that can generate a decent looking UI design

Prove me wrong.

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

Most people are still prompting wrong.

I've found this framework, which was even shared by OpenAI President Greg Brockman.

Here’s how it works:

[John Rush @johnrush]

I acquired Unicorn Platform for $0.8M in '22.

I've literally tried every growth method I've heard of.
It all failed in 2023, but in 2024, I found what works & went 25k to 370k users.

Details report on each marketing experiment (failures & successes):

[John Rush @johnrush]

AI won't replace the entire profession, but it's replacing the bottom 20-80% in {translation, design, coding, content, marketing,sales,design, operation, account, law}

Small teams like mine beat big corporations
because AI brings huge leverage for A players

Real examples of AI:

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

Donald Trump is making a deliberate attempt to overwhelm the system, and to overwhelm you. It can be difficult to keep up. And that’s by design.

But we can keep up – and respond. Here’s what he’s doing, and what it means for you. Just the facts. 🧵⤵️

[Avichal Garg - Electric ϟ Capital @avichal]

1/ The 2nd San Francisco gold rush has finally come to an end.

Gone is era of walking into a $200K job at 22 and saving a million by 30.

For decades, a 70th percentile engineer was guaranteed multiple offers as soon as they interviewed in SF.

That era is over.

🧵 If you’re applauding the abolishment of the Department of Education, you need to do a little research. You have ZERO clue what the DOE actually does.

Here’s a reality check on what the Department of Education actually does:

[Trajan Hammonds @trajan317]

Tonight I found out that the NSF math postdoctoral fellowship I applied for is being deleted because it does not comply with Trump’s executive orders on DEI in the federal government. I’m going to answer some FAQs and share some thoughts about this ordeal in this thread 1/n

[Sean Casten @SeanCasten]

To all those saying "shouldn't we root out government inefficiency? What's wrong with DOGE?" a quick background on Constitutional law and why the WAY it is being violated exposes the true motives of the criminals:

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

This is pure gaslighting. There is no working waiver process. Marco can pretend the the real Secretary of State, Elon Musk, didn't shut down USAID, but he did.

1/ My national security team looked into the functionally nonexistent "wavier process" and here's what they found:

@XcelEnergyCO What part of this is periodic and rolling ? In Breckenridge the homes across the street have had power all night and we are heading in 6 hours of outage.

“Last year Mr. Scholz read Prof Sandel’s latest book “The Tyranny of Merit” in which the Harvard philosopher argued that the meritocratic narrative of education as an engine of social mobility had fueled resentment and contributed to the rise of populists” https://t.co/h3pFKwmaQd

#VentureCapital investment in #EmergingMarkets accounts for only about 10% of total #VC invested globally.

@_jasoneaves at @discoveredmrkts explores reasons for this gap, and presents an unexploited solution for #SGBs in these markets.
