[Harry Chow @harrychow_]

@getsolari is joining a Stealth Incubator backed by @kakaocorpglobal, to host an intimate event in SF for researchers and founders building computer-use agents, across frontier labs, agent startups, and university groups

We'll dive into:
→ What stays and what dissolves as software gets rebuilt for agents
→ World models: can agents learn software environments the way they learn the physical world?
→ The Jevons paradox: what happens when computer work gets cheap

Candid, off-the-record (Chatham House Rule), plus a first look at what we're both building next

Request an invite 👉 https://t.co/wdNxrwKCnM

Seats are extremely limited

Excited to be working with @JqOnly, @dylanventures_ and @henryyam_ @Techweek_

[dylan kim @dylanventures_]

saw this on linkedin the other day but:

someone needs to create an agent to answer spam calls and keep the caller on the line as long as possible so it ruins the unit economics of the spam call channel lol

[dylan kim @dylanventures_]

@matthias_mrc make a joke

[dylan kim @dylanventures_]

@BrendanFoody what percentage of that would be scrolling on x 👀

[dylan kim @dylanventures_]

Being on the @cosign waitlist is like being a BC student trying to get into an MIT frat party.

We all know whose party is better.

@tiffany_yxy both a money farm

[dylan kim @dylanventures_]

@TTrimoreau i think this is a popular opinion in 2026

[dylan kim @dylanventures_]

Your risk doesn't have to be college. The job you won't leave. The idea you keep postponing. The thing you'd do if nobody was watching.

But it has to be something. Which one is yours?

[dylan kim @dylanventures_]

In SF, dropping out is a badge of honor.
In Korea, it's a family emergency.

I'm not going back to college. Not because it's brave. Because in Asia "risk" doesn't mean losing money, it means losing face. And the price of never looking bad is never becoming great.

[dylan kim @dylanventures_]

Every Asian kid gets two rules: be the best, and don't take risks.

They can't coexist. The safe path is safe because everyone takes it, and a path everyone takes produces the average. You can finish #1 on it. You'll be the best average person in the room.
