@RohdeAli @DakotahBlueRice @emergencecap @Harper_Insure Fascinating!

Last week, @AnthropicAI said its new model Mythos had already found “thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities” and could “surpass all but the most skilled humans at finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities.”

At almost the same moment, the Axios hack showed how exposed the open-source foundation under modern software still is.

For this week’s 10 Minutes or Less, I spoke with @feross what this moment means. WATCH:

Cutting spending on infrastructure to fix the budget is the tyranny of senseless accounting over economics, especially in the UK where lagging regions badly need more of it.

@matt_barnum And I also heard that it was hard to get the things they wanted--new ventilation systems and buses, for example, because everybody was trying to buy that stuff all at once.

[Louise Sheiner @lsheiner]

@matt_barnum I have heard stories about some states using their stimulus $ for long-run projects rather than going to capital markets for example. And I have heard the story about not using one-time money for lasting expenditures over and over.

@JustinWolfers Maybe--but at least of as last summer, we thought increased LFP was composition issue due to Long Covid, rather than increase in hiring of those with other disabilities. Also expecting remote work to play a factor eventually. See https://t.co/28AwR93MoN

One of the hardest parts of raising your first round of funding is knowing who to pitch.

To make the process easier for founders just starting out, @kanjun and I put together a list of 18 funds that seem to consistently invest at the very earliest stage.
