AI eats our data. Heirloom returns it — verified, portable, sovereign.

The final v1 White Paper is live. Fully open. SHA-verified. 🥰

We’re not just watching the AI era happen — we’re designing how humans stay at the center.

[Angela Benton @ABenton]

If AI is the frontier, our memories are the territory.

We get to choose if they become someone else’s empire — or remain ours to steward.

“Does AI own your memory?”
@gracekcarney @usv & @buildexante
ask the question more of us should be asking.

[Grace Carney @gracekcarney]

Who will own our digital memory?

As AI platforms ask us to entrust our memories to them, we risk endless reintroductions to every AI or (worse) seeing our digital selves held hostage by a single AI overlord..

1st in a 2-part blog series up now on building an open architecture where individuals—not companies—control their memory. Co-published w @usv @buildexante

The more our lives merge with AI, the more urgent this gets.

Memory is the next terrain for monopoly…or freedom.

@emilmichael @realDonaldTrump @PeteHegseth Congrats Emil! Well deserved and exactly who our country needs.

[Angela Benton @ABenton]

@Jason Very true. And one of the few in tech to do so.

The investing world is convinced that Palantir is an unscalable consulting company. For over a decade very few competitors were funded as a resulted. Now that Palantir is a Fortune 500 company, investors need to wake up! Large enterprises and governments need customizable, deeply integrated software solutions. Especially in the age of AI. At YC, I’m happy to fund startups who want to compete with Palantir. If Seed investors want to make money - they will do the same.

Bullish on this as well + a layer of AI.

Growing food you feed your family with is so damn satisfying. I wanna figure out how to finally fix this broken food system we have so more Americans have access to great fresh produce.
