.@pmarca's advice to college students:  "Gain AI superpowers. I think it's actually very straightforward."

"You have the enormous stroke of luck that you have arrived at the moment in which there is this new capability for augmenting human ability on a thousand fronts at the same time, that's just dropped into our laps, and it's going to get much better from here."

 "You are gonna have the opportunity to have this be something that is absolutely key to your skill set and key to everything that you can accomplish as a professional or as a creative for the next 50 years."

"I would just lean in incredibly hard on that. Walk into every job interview with, 'Here's my portfolio, resume, whatever. Here is how I use this technology. Here are the capabilities that I'm bringing to the table.'"

💡Software as a service (SaaS) companies — which investors have worried will be damaged by AI agents — will become "AaaS" companies, or "agentic AI as a service," Huang predicted.

Instead of selling software, they'll sell agents that help clients build software.

Our Connect33 2025 Year in Review post highlights the most significant investments and expansions reshaping Latin America.

The region experienced a historic 2025, with over $50 billion in announced data center investments from global tech giants @tiktok_us, @cloudHQ, and @awscloud.

We also saw major operational expansions, including @salesforce $1 billion and $500 million commitments to Mexico and Argentina, @OpenAI's opening of its first Latin American office in São Paulo, and @databricks' deepening of its Costa Rica and Brazil presence, collectively signaling Latin America’s emergence as a critical hub for global AI and cloud infrastructure.

Thank you to all our readers–I look forward to continuing to bring these updates to you in 2026. #Connect33

Today, we're announcing a new $40B investment in Texas through 2027 to build Cloud & AI infrastructure and support thousands of new jobs. 

This includes new data centers in Armstrong and Haskell Counties and a major investment to strengthen energy resilience and abundance. We're also providing funding to more than double the projected pipeline of new Texan electricians to power the AI era.

We've proudly called Texas home for 15 years. Thank you @GregAbbott_TX for your continued support.

I’m always surprised by how little effort companies put into the due diligence process for international expansion. Had a call last week with the Regional Head, who moved to LATAM–no knowledge of the engineering talent market, no habla Español, growth target of 150 engineers in 15 months. A recipe for failure. #Connect33
