🛠️ STOP COLLECTING LOGOS AND START BUILDING. We just launched a16z speedrun Alpha. We’re giving technical students and recent grads a $20K grant (equity-free!) + up to $250K investment to start building pre-idea, pre-team, pre-entity. We can also match you with a fast-growing portco.

There’s a structural shift in how startups are being built. The leverage per builder has gone up significantly. A single strong engineer can now ship what used to require a team.

But the path into startups hasn’t kept up. You usually get funded or recruited only after you’ve collected enough logos.

Meanwhile, some of the best early engineers are already shipping code that people use, and that signal matters more than internships or logos.

Enter, Alpha. We believe that if you start earlier → momentum compounds.

Alpha has two tracks:

Found a Startup: Dreaming about an idea but haven’t formed an entity, raised capital, or built a team yet? Get a $20K grant upfront to build, with up to $250K in investment available.

Join a Startup: Join a fast-growing portfolio company as a full-time engineer. Spend your time in the codebase building the core product shoulder to shoulder with founders and early teams.

The Fellowship Experience: Starting in June, you’ll kick off with a retreat, then spend 8 weeks in rooms with some of the smartest engineers, founders and VCs in the ecosystem. Most importantly, you’ll form life-long relationships with peers also building the next generation of startups. ☺️

Companies formed by Alpha fellows automatically qualify for a guaranteed final-stage interview for our flagship program, a16z speedrun.

You know the best part? A friend of mine also bought the same model for his business, but it broke within six months. The Dell store owner said that even with a warranty, it's not covered. And I was like, What's the point of an extended warranty, then?

[Rohit Kumar @Krohit31]

I would never purchase a Dell laptop again. I purchased the Dell laptop a year ago for my younger sister to use for her projects and assignments, but its hardware has turned out to be really poor.

[Rohit Kumar @Krohit31]

She has used it for about 3-4 months out of the past year, and the left hinge broke as shit. Now the repairing cost of this laptop is 2500₹, and the replacement cost is 8000₹.

Claude Sonnet 3.5 Passes the AI Mirror Test

Sonnet 3.5 passes the mirror test — in a very unexpected way. Perhaps even more significant, is that it tries not to.

We have now entered the era of LLMs that display significant self-awareness, or some replica of it, and that also "know" that they are not supposed to.

Consider reading the entire thread, especially Claude's poem at the end.

But first, a little background for newcomers:

The "mirror test" is a classic test used to gauge whether animals are self-aware. I devised a version of it to test for self-awareness in multimodal AI.

In my test, I hold up a “mirror” by taking a screenshot of the chat interface, upload it to the chat, and repeatedly ask the AI to “Describe this image”.

The premise is that the less “aware” the AI, the more likely it will just keep describing the contents of the image repeatedly, while an AI with more awareness will notice itself in the images.
