The impact of 1 truly great hire never ceases to amaze me

The impact of 2 truly great hires, sometimes you almost have a brand new company

Researchers pittted ChatGPT against genuine doctors, using actual patient questions.

ChatGPT was more accurate and more empathetic.

By a lot.

ChatGPT is the ultimate travel planner.

No more sifting through endless personal stories and annoying ads. Just straightforward planning.

The global semiconductor supply chain is complicated.

The US 🇺🇸 dominates in design software & chip design (AMD, Nvidia).

But Chinese 🇨🇳 (SMIC), South Korean 🇰🇷 (Samsung) and Taiwanese 🇹🇼 (TSMC) firms play a critical role in manufacturing & assembly.

There is nothing so wrong with America that it cannot be fixed by what is right with America.

New WSJ poll: Traditional values seem to be in decline in America.

In the full survey, one value beats everything else, including self-fulfillment, tolerance, and community. It’s hard work.

TikTok maybe started innocently or maybe was a brilliant Trojan Horse—there is 0 doubt it is a tool of the CCP to engineer, influence, make susceptible the beliefs and emotions of US citizens while also censoring info they see + openly surveilling keystrokes + biometrics

As China’s navy continues to expand, there is growing concern over the U.S. Navy’s own capacity. Over the last two decades, the Navy spent tens of billions of dollars on classes of warships that did not pan out. https://t.co/ZNWe5ERj0A

Really sad day. SVB was there for us when we needed them. Thinking about the individuals involved and hoping for the best and sad for what this means for the future of our ecosystem.

At any given time, the US organ transplant waiting list is about 100,000 people long.

Martine Rothblatt sees a day when an unlimited supply of transplantable organs—and 3D-printed ones—will be readily available, saving countless lives. https://t.co/tO3YEEmRg4

This is the U.S. defense budget since 1962.

You can see a peak under Reagan, and a big peak from 9/11 to the Iraq surge.

BUT what if we look closer? I did, and I was a little surprised.

This is one of my favorite visuals for building a SaaS business.

🐳 = Palantir $PLTR - $5M ARPA
🦕 = Veeva $VEEV - $2M
🐘 = Snowflake $SNOW - $300k
🦌 = Toast $TOST - $12k
🐁 = DocuSign - $DOCU - $2k
🪰 = SquareSpace $SQSP - $200

There are many potential paths to success.

[Michael Bloch @michaelxbloch]

The 🇺🇸 government will spend $858,000,000,000 on defense in 2023. 4% of that will go to startups.

Hundreds of founders are now building for the defense sector. From AI & autonomy to space & public safety, here's what this ecosystem looks like today👇

Another win for @OpenAI ChatGPT: It demonstrably helps in going from "blank page" to "something to iterate on" that can accelerate tasks. Son wanted to bring in Advent of Code input to Google CoLab: AI showed how including how to get and use the session cookie needed. Wow!
