This isn’t just another Neo lab. @bfspector & @amspector100 are forces of nature.
A dynamic duo defined by grit, drive, and authenticity—two of the most charismatic, thoughtful, and genuine individuals I’ve met.

Honored to be an advisor - @flappyairplanes

[Jake Wyrick @JakeWyrick]

Huge congratulations to @flappyairplanes! What an incredible team.

[Flapping Airplanes @flappyairplanes]

Announcing Flapping Airplanes!

We’ve raised $180M from GV, Sequoia, and Index to assemble a new guard in AI: one that imagines a world where models can think at human level without ingesting half the internet.

[Kevin Fischer @kevinafischer]

Give it another year or two. We’ll start talking about digital souls

Drop the artificial
Stop focusing on intelligence
Realize it’s about life itself
And what constitutes a soul

A new age of animism

[Jake Wyrick @JakeWyrick]

Super exciting to see this incredible team bringing its technology to the world!

[Logical Intelligence @logic_int]

The only viable future for AI is non-autoregressive. It's upon this founding principle that we built Logical Intelligence — a company dedicated to making mission-critical software secure through AI formal verification.
We’re launching two AI agents + a new foundation model to deliver provably correct code, faster than ever before.
➡️ Non-autoregressive
➡️ Energy-based
➡️ Built for 100% mathematically precise reasoning

Unlike LLMs, our model doesn’t stumble piece by piece — it solves holistically, like magnets snapping a puzzle into place.

[Jake Wyrick @JakeWyrick]

@tweetoferic Yep, it's a bit like the opposite of a formal "usted"

[Jake Wyrick @JakeWyrick]

@ariellezuck Congrats!!

[Jake Wyrick @JakeWyrick]

@EJSBuell Yes! It may help if the could pick 1-2 classes first year. That’s how I met my favorite professor-advisors.

[Jake Wyrick @JakeWyrick]

@ESPNF1 Boooo!

[Jake Wyrick @JakeWyrick]

@F1 This race is embarrassing. Do better F1.

[Arielle "AZ" Zuckerberg @ariellezuck]

I get asked how I think about risk / how much risk is the right amount to take when investing in early stage companies. One framework/question I use is “how many miracles out” is this? How many things need to go right that the company can’t control in order for them to succeed?

[Will Manidis @WillManidis]

everytime a VC has given us a non standard term and I was like “meh, it probably won’t turn out to be a huge deal”

it has always turned out to be a huge deal

[Nico Berardi⚡ @nicberardi]

I think we'll see a rather big wave of founder/CEOs quitting this year.

Lots did secondaries at Series A/B & are now facing needing to 10x growth, with no additional capital, simply to "grow into" their previous valuation. Plus, next 2-3yrs will be very tricky.

Plus, their equity is mostly vested at this point...

[Jake Wyrick @JakeWyrick]

@bling0 Congrats Ben!

SVB clients tried to withdraw $42 billion last Thursday. For context, WaMu saw $16 billion in withdrawals over 10 days and failed. Yes, SVB made unwise investing decisions, but we need to understand what (or who) started and accelerated the run on SVB.

[Jake Wyrick @JakeWyrick]

WilmerHale is hosting a webinar today at 12pm PT for those affected by SVB going into FDIC receivership. It will address how to navigate the claim process and how to manage risks going forward. https://t.co/nFr2EBuCHa
