HubSpot co-founder and CTO Dharmesh Shah says it's less scary to build an AI startup now than in 2023, as long as you stay off the Yellow Brick Road the frontier labs are following:

"The frontier model companies have invested hundreds of billions of dollars building, doing the pre-training. And so their whole business effectively now is taking the capex that they've spent and the money they're continuing to spend and saying, 'How do we sell inference? How do we sell tokens? How do we monetize the thing that we've built?'"

"There are SaaS companies and startups that know their particular domain, know their market, have some distribution, or have something that allows them to sell tokens and be a reseller of inference."

"Think of AI as infrastructure in the same way we thought of AWS and cloud infrastructure 15 years ago... I think it's less scary now to build in and around the AI arena than it was in 2023."

"We have open source. We have lots of great commercial products. So as long as you stay off the Yellow Brick Road, it is completely possible now that you're not gonna get margined out, because you have options."

Today, we pause to honor the incredible dedication, courage, and sacrifice of the veterans who have served to defend and protect the very foundation of our freedom. To all those who have served—including the veterans, families, and supporters within our own community and network—we thank you for your steadfast commitment and the enduring legacy of service you have given us.

Deepest gratitude to veterans and their families 🙏🏾🇺🇸🕊️

All the best @AndrewLonsberry at @PathRobotics addressing a pressing need within manufacturing and production industry.

To build critical infrastructure we need more companies like Path to address the gap and for companies building the critical infrastructure we are building @assembleteams

Data centers. The grid. Defense.

Three national priorities, one shrinking pool of welders, and 80% of U.S. welding is still done by hand.

The bottleneck isn’t skill. It’s tools.

Across our projects @GoogleDeepMind, we are witnessing a genuine phase transition in the pace of scientific discovery. You will see a glimpse of this in our releases in the next few weeks.

Some of India's finest are also some of India's youngest. This small group (of a much larger and very vibrant ecosystem) has raised 340m+ much of it in the last 18mos or so. The founders are more jagged than ever. The investors need to catch up!

Lanka was made of gold. Ayodhya celebrated with clay lamps. Think about that this Diwali.

Ravana had everything the world admires. A city of gold. Ten heads, the epic's way of saying he knew more than anyone around him. Scholar. Musician. Devotee of Shiva.
He still lost. He didn't lose to a bigger army. He lost to a man in exile, walking barefoot, with an army of monkeys and bears. Brilliance without restraint destroys the one who owns it.

Now look at the other side. Rama lost his kingdom overnight. No argument. No bitterness. He walked into the forest on the very day he was meant to be crowned, and he walked out smiling. Most of us can't let go of a small disappointment that gracefully.

Bharata was handed the throne. He refused to sit on it. He placed Rama's sandals there and served Ayodhya for 14 years in his brother's name. Love that asks for nothing in return. Duty without ownership.

Hanuman could leap across an ocean. He didn't know it. Jambavan had to remind him. So many people around us are Hanuman before Jambavan spoke. Sometimes the greatest gift you can give someone is to tell them you can do this at the right moment.

The bridge to Lanka wasn't built in one heroic act. It was stone after stone. Monkeys, bears and, as the old story goes, a little squirrel rolling in sand to do its part. Rama stroked its back in gratitude. No effort is too small when the cause is right.
Here's the part we forget.

Ayodhya didn't light lamps when Ravana fell. It lit them when Rama came home.

Diwali isn't a victory celebration. It's a homecoming.

Fourteen years of forest, loss and war, and he returned with his heart intact. The same man who left. That is the real triumph. Everything else is Lanka.

So this Diwali, as the lamps glow .. Ask what you're chasing. Gold or light.

Ask who's been quietly carrying your sandals. Thank them. Ask who needs a Jambavan. Be one. Ask if you're still the person who left home.

Light the diya. Then live like one. Small. Steady. Burning for others.
Happy Diwali. 🪔

Growing up in Nova Scotia, we celebrated Diwali in our home with our nuclear family. One of the joys today is seeing how much that circle has grown in towns and cities across the country. May the light of the diyas bring warmth to your homes and joy to those you love. Happy Diwali! 🪔

—

Quand j’étais enfant en Nouvelle-Écosse, on célébrait Diwali à la maison, en famille, juste entre nous. Aujourd’hui, ça me fait chaud au cœur de voir à quel point ce cercle s’est élargi dans les villes et villages du pays. Que la lumière des diyas réchauffe vos foyers et apporte de la joie aux personnes qui vous sont chères. Joyeux Diwali! 🪔

दीपावली की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएँ! 🪔

एक दीपक अंधकार को चुनौती देता है,
और एक अच्छा विचार समाज को बदलने की शक्ति रखता है।

इस दीपावली आइए,
अपने घरों के साथ-साथ मन और समाज में भी आशा, संवाद और सकारात्मक बदलाव का प्रकाश फैलाएँ।

हर विचार बने एक दीप, हर प्रयास बने बदलाव।

शुभ दीपावली! ✨

What people don't know is that - frontier LLMs are not "defending customers”, they are exposing vulnerabilities - defense means - no false positives, comprehensive coverage, and a cost efficient solution. Any defense involves, sensors, inline inspection and enforcment, this can only come with a collaborative approach.

It's time for frontier LLMs to take a responsible approach to Cyber. I have been watching them consistently tout their abilities on finding vulnerabilities and daisy chaining them to be able to attack enterprises. I have also recently learnt about their efforts to create synthetic data to enhance their capabilities. I am all for it. But don't use this as a tactic to require each enterprise to scan for vulnerabilities again.

The narrative needs to change - we already know that we are in a cycle where all enterprises need to remediate their vulnerabilities. It is important to understand:

1. Vulnerability discovery is existential, because bad actors will - patching it is even more so. Expending efforts at more vulnerability discovery needs to be balanced with a solve.
2. LLMs are capable of recommending patches, but before a patch is developed, and deployed, it needs to be tested in its environment to ensure continued functioning of the application, and even now the solve has high false positives. No enterprise can do it all at speed.
3. Despite their enhanced capability, there is still significant difference in what vulnerabiities are found across all their Frontier LLM's, so customers will need to test across a multi-model harness. One LLM isn't the solution.
4. Most organizations do not have capacity to patch at the speed needed, especially the smaller ones.
5. We don't talk about operational technology enough, most critical infrastructure relies on OT and we need a solve for them in addition to Open Source.

The most obvious solution is virtual patching. This is a time tested technology that is currently available with cyber vendors for endpoints, WAF, cloud, network use cases. It also is not comprehensive enough currently, we need to scale this fast. We need a vulnerability clearing house and fast signature development for all these vulnerabilites to respond at speed across our industry.
