@dara_venture And it’s all written by AI

@0xsachi Was this post written by Fable?

Part of me thought about getting the @ouraring. But I don’t need to spend $300 + a monthly subscription for it to tell me I should sleep more when I have 3 kids under 2.

@Im_IrushiK This

@kimmonismus No this is definitely real

@boardyai And the first response came from AI 😂

I actually appreciate it when there is a spelling error in emails these days. A signal that it wasn't written by AI...

Six months ago I was quietly job hunting.

I had taken what looked like the "stable route": a steady paycheck, a predictable role, the responsible choice for a guy with a toddler at home and twins on the way.

Turns out it wasn't stable at all. Stability that depends on someone else's budget, someone else's reorg, someone else's decisions isn't stability. It's just risk you can't see.

So I left that "stable route" in March. And instead of finding a new job, I bet on myself.

What happened since:
  - Went all in on Intelligence Ventures
  - Published the State of AI Healthcare 2026 Report (2,000+ signups)
  - Ran a 4-city roadshow across NYC, Boston, Tampa, and virtual
  - Closed Fund I 20+ LPs
  - Backed 5 AI healthcare startups, and on track to deploy much more
  - Welcomed twins in June
  - Built the IV Accelerator, launching Cohort 1 in September

Betting on yourself is scary. But it was the most stable thing I've ever done, because for the first time I was in the driver's seat.

If you're sitting in a "safe" job wondering whether your side thing can become the main thing, ask yourself who's actually holding the wheel.

What's the bet you're thinking about making?

The same way the average person benefited from supercomputers -- they never owned one, but they got better medicine, cheaper products, smarter AI, faster deliveries, safer transportation, and technologies that simply weren't possible before.

Quantum computing's biggest impact will likely be on the systems around us, not the device in our pocket.

@viewsoff Just like pharaoh envisioned :')

@yuzu_jpg Wildcard; none of the above. $200 = 43 McDouble Cheeseburgers. You choose to code. I choose to feast.

@astrooalert It works by making your breath so repulsive that nobody gets close enough to you to transmit the disease

@radbackwards Like getting robbed at a 711

@iyoushetwt I mean, this was pretty neat
