typed "y'all" for the first time in my life — useful in Slack when not sure whom to call out

@FounderCoHo And then once you have alignment on the pitch, it drives alignment on so much — sales and marketing, but also product direction, fundraising, recruiting, culture, everything

[Andy Raskin @araskin]

@FounderCoHo I wouldn't say that you need alignment *more* than a better pitch but rather that the most difficult part of getting to a great pitch (for a large team) is alignment

Loved Nakadai's performances so much. This NY Times obit, however, leaves out my favorite — his lead role in the 1962 "Seppuku" ("Harakiri" in the US) https://t.co/NpA50WjmU0

@MandellConway @Medium @Zuora @tientzuo I recorded this talk in 2023 — you can think of it as an update on the framework https://t.co/VXfpYSIBzf

@ttunguz Yes publisher creates the value. Used to be search engine mediated between consumer and publisher, somewhat screwing publisher out of value. Now AI (or AI-annotated search engine) still mediates but publisher gets more screwed out of value

The camera was better than humans at a narrow range of capabilities. AI will soon be better than humans at most/all capabilities (including leveraging AI). I hope the way previous innovations played out is significantly predictive, but it's not clear to me that it will be.

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

AI is like the advent of the camera - when that came out, visual arts didn't go away— it grew.

There were new skills and far more appreciation for visual arts, not less.

New industries like cinema sprang up. We are just learning what those will be now.

@cpuck_3 @dharmesh @sama @OpenAI Poking holes isn't necessarily wrong, but yeah, it's valuable, I think, to get training on doing the opposite too

@dharmesh @sama @OpenAI Best training for this: Improv.

@robertsietsema Wow I used to go there as a kid. Do they still have tables for eating in?
