@jahirsheikh8 Funny you assume we pronounce “json” as “Jason” and not “J.S.O.N.” 😂

I've heard many people debating about the Balogun red card this past week after the match with BIH @W0rld2026 . So I asked @ChatGPTapp, @claudeai, and @GeminiApp for help putting it to bed. 2/3 said it would be equivalent to a Flagrant Penalty 1 in the @NBA

If you’re building in this space, we’re actively deploying funds

Decided to post this as my avatar. Thank you for an excellent event @tokensandai!

@icanvardar I think the only reason to go another route is when you just need a different interface

I was watching Mad Men the other day. They kept bringing up the prices of things. It’s like they were rubbing it in

[Daren @darenmannn]

@ScoutWithBryan great off ball movement too

@Bencera Have you tested the name ‘God Mode’. I’m wondering how that resonates with all potential customers.

@aymanalabdul I know a potential partner who has landed multiple 5-6 figure deals

@claudeai I ran out of tokens just reading about Opus 4.7

[Daren @darenmannn]

@DaveHsu Agreed. A tagline doesn’t tell the whole picture and assumptions can’t be spent at the store

[Daren @darenmannn]

@erfnbshiri Top. Points user to the actions and looks cool

[Daren @darenmannn]

@mahaniok There’s no context for an early staged founder

[Daren @darenmannn]

@emiratli_ You’re right. But they will need to take that up with their LPs.

[Daren @darenmannn]

@tammireddy @nrmehta @loganbartlett @Redpoint Agreed. The question is are incumbents and leaders going to win by consolidating the right components around their moats or do the entrants and SMBs erode their position with productivity unlocked by agents?

@pavelprata It seems like a lack of liquidity events is not driven by company quality then. Why has the institutional investor shifted to no longer needing public market liquidity?

[Daren @darenmannn]

@yanabana If AI is the enabler, where are the non-YC founders who are hitting $1M annualized early?
