Wow, modern console gaming really sucks ass. Everyone in the stack trying to capture network effect and direct relationship with players. Add in 100GB+ downloads for cross platform games that the kids wanted to play and nearly 200GB for console native games. Finish it off with a few system updates, account linking hoops, and UI design focused on upsells…way to ruin a kids birthday surprise present!

"Most arguments are ego competitions disguised as truth-seeking.
Learning to say 'you're probably right' will save you a lot of time and energy."
They are probably right.
My friend Dr. Robert Greene gave an awesome TED talk on the huge positive impact of genetic sequencing for all new borns. He has dedicated himself to making this case through deep academic research.

So pumped for Connor, Andrew, and team. Fun fact: Speak is a standout company that @andrewchen and I invested in together when we ran our angel fund together back in 2017! I can't wait to see the next decade unfold for Speak.
1/ Excited to announce Speak has raised a $78m Series C from @Accel at a $1b valuation!
It' a huge milestone for us and continued validation of our founding idea: AI would fundamentally transform learning. 8 years later, we’re well on our way and believe this more than ever. 🧵
Andrew, Connor, and the Speak team have been focusing on AI speech to speech since 2017 when @andrewchen and I first invested in them. It is amazing to see where they’ve taken the product and to dream of everything to come. #openai
We’ve been working closely with OpenAI for the past few months to test the new Realtime API. I’m excited to share some thoughts on the best way to productize speech-to-speech for language learning, and announce the first thing we’ve built here, Live Roleplays. 🧵
