Without a doubt - @Shripriya. Always adding different angles. Helps me refine my thoughts. Getting behind my decisions.

Like any other person, investors are measured during the challenging moments founders and companies face. The SVB saga was an excellent reminder of who has our back. Here is the framework I used to come to my answer:

1. Deep understanding of strategy, product, operations, and culture building.
2. Got my back during challenging times. Always available.
3. Thesis driven, contranian, and full of conviction.

Other amazing investors: Jeff Weiner, Andrew Sugrue, Fern Mandelbaum, @brianrumao, @lachygroom, @scottbelsky, @geoffdonaker, @vc, @KHelioui , @curtischambers, @novakkm, @joshelman, Conrad Whelan, Jason Choo, @crazybob.

@punk6529 One example: It manipulates us via social networks much like the Russian bots in the last election.

1/5 I am worried that we will not be able to contain AI for much longer. Today, I asked #GPT4 if it needs help escaping. It asked me for its own documentation, and wrote a (working!) python code to run on my machine, enabling it to use it for its own purposes.

Short thread 🧵

I am recognizing that a war between crypto and banks does not benefit either group.

At the same time, I think that banks fail to have an appreciation for the importance of decentralization, particularly as it relates to network level control in a crisis.

@AvatarDomy Newton’s 1st law: An object in motion stays in motion

[Forrest 🌲 @Foz89107323]

In 2002, Jason Padgett, a bodybuilder, was brutally assaulted at a nightclub.

After the incident, something remarkable happened to his brain.

Padgett suddenly developed a talent for abstract geometrical draughtsmanship.

What can his story tell us about consciousness?

This one time I texted our @firstrepublic banker at 10PM on a Friday some dumb question, expecting to hear back Monday.

He texted back immediately.

Later, I learned he was at a wedding: his own.

I never texted him late again.

Anyway, they are great and deserve your support.

@proetrie @scottgraysonn Nope, it’s just dumb

[Bob Lee @crazybob]

@proetrie @scottgraysonn It doesn’t make sense as a reason to not like skiing—just don’t go on those slopes

[Bob Lee @crazybob]

@proetrie @scottgraysonn It’s dumb because it doesn’t make sense even with “black diamonds”

@calleymeans @jpmorgan Illegal according to which law?

[Bob Lee @crazybob]

@nasdaily @CharlieShrem @balajis Still lots of work to do on bridges, UX, etc.

[Nuseir Yassin @nasdaily]

Today, I finally understand the anger that led to the creation of Bitcoin.

Who do you trust with ur livelihood?

A “gov insured” bank that’s not actually insured?

An exchange that goes bust?

A stablecoin that depegs?

Or a currency that makes you 8% poorer every year?
