On a mission to simplify jargon and tell interesting stories about interesting people.

[brelambert @brelambert]

You should know that if you’re selected to be featured in @finta Founder Stories, by the time the story publishes, to write the story, I will have:

- Read through the interview transcript no fewer than 37 times
- Looked at your LinkedIn profile a minimum of 29 times
- Groked your X back to the beginning of time
- Read every article that has ever even whispered your name
- Tried to secure a follow-up interview with your dog to get the super insider scoop from the creature who loves you most

But in all seriousness, a ton of work goes into creating these amazing stories, not just from me, but also from @andywang and the founders themselves.

Overheard in Palo Alto.

CEO: "This copy sucks."

CMO: "We fired all our content people and just use ChatGPT now."

CEO: "Well, hire them back."

Working in tech/startups is like, "Hey, let's use this brand new product that's buggy as hell and occasionally deletes all your work, but the DESIGN is so much better than the legacy competitor."

@ivanhzhao @NotionHQ Couldn't come at a better time with the @Starlink outages we've been having.

@a16z @pmarca But for real, how does anyone get anything done if you’re not writing it down? I’m baffled right now. This isn’t like everyone’s core function?

[brelambert @brelambert]

We used to explain startups like, "It's like Facebook for recipes," and now we're all like, "It's the eBay killer." When did we go from inventing to murdering?!

[brelambert @brelambert]

"skill issue"

If you have been personally victimized by an AI hallucination, you may be entitled to compensation.

Where would we even be without podcasts? You know? Like, where would we even be?

[brelambert @brelambert]

I think it's really bizarre how we've essentially mythologized Gen Z.

Is ChatGPT a flat-earther? It just told me something could be sold "across" the world (should be "around").

[brelambert @brelambert]

From my experience, it's one of those instances where it's way more common than you think, these two just happened to get caught very publicly.

[brelambert @brelambert]

But perhaps the most important thing to have come out of the Digital Revolution is fewer papercuts.

Looking at pool dive toys for kids. Meanwhile, back in the day, my dad would just toss in a handful of pennies.

“In one study, researchers found that VCs prefer to fund pitches narrated by a male voice and rate them as more persuasive, logical, and fact-based than identical pitches narrated by a female voice.” Tech is so far ahead, yet so behind. https://t.co/KeBtsTfrpB

Thought my eyesight was going out, but realized I just needed to give up on dark mode.

[brelambert @brelambert]

When everything is buggy, but you're running multiple programs on top of each other. Is it Notion AI? Is it Grammarly AI? Is it ChatGPT AI? AIaiaiaiaiayayayay

Everybody brags about their electric car until it's time to drive out of town, and suddenly they're worried about the range, and "Can you just drive?"

The type of person who shouldn’t be giving out productivity and life hack advice is the person who does not have children.

[brelambert @brelambert]

Nice seeks approval from others. Kind seeks to do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do.
