@martahari @WatsonvilleCity @Presbyterian Fascinating imagery.

Once again, @WatsonvilleCity abandons District 1’s working-class Latino neighborhood with illegal zoning, shoving a low-barrier shelter into an area plagued by violent #homeless-related #crime. Westview @Presbyterian's "social mission" outweighs family safety & economic vitality.

Dear @CitizenFreePres,
Meet Lorena Vasquez, one of @WatsonvilleCity's "NIMBYs." She's a #daycare owner being terrorized by a #homeless felon who fired a gun into a home. Now, she's fighting the city's illicit plan to site a #HomelessShelter near her.

Despite @GavinNewsom directing billions to counties to solve homelessness, life-threatening violence persists. We need real solutions, not willy-nilly spending.

The #homeless crisis is far more complicated than #California and @GavinNewsom care to admit. Another #homicide by a "transient" on BART.

(Both have already forgotten the brutal murder of #NiaWilson.)

The fastest growing category of US venture investment in 2024 is AI. Venture capitalists have invested $18.3 billion through the first four months of the year.

At this pace, we should expect AI startups to raise about $55b in 2024.

AI startups now command more than 20% share of all US venture dollars across categories, including healthcare, biotech, & software.

In the preceding eight years, that number was about 8% per year. But after the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, there’s a marked inflection point.

Some of this is new company formation, & there has been a significant amount of seed investment in this category. Another major contributor is the repositioning of existing companies to include AI within their pitch.

Over time, this share should attenuate, primarily because every software company will have an AI component, & the marketing effect for both customers & venture capitalists, will diffuse.

Not surprisingly, investors have concentrated total dollars in a few names, with the top three companies accounting for 60% of the dollars raised. Power laws are ubiquitous in venture capital & AI is no exception.

🚀🔍Did you know? 90% of startups fail because they echo trends, not customer needs. Flip the script: use 'silent data' — unmet needs in customer feedback. That's where real innovation starts.
