[Nick Davidov @Nick_Davidov]

Big announcement day for us. DVC now manages a family of funds and with the addition of our fresh $75M Series A AI fund we’ll be able to continue backing the amazing founders we’re privileged to work with and build more support structures for them.

Thanks to my partner in crime @msdavidova, our new partners joining @melguymon @CharlesFerguson @quasifuturist and our amazing community of 175+ LPs who are engineers, researchers, and founders for making this possible.

Huge kudos to our team (which is now 11 people!) and let’s go! LFG

I can’t believe I missed the whole half time show standing in a stupid line for stupid hotdogs for kids

[Nick Davidov @Nick_Davidov]

We lost but the game was fun.
Messi is still the worlds best footballer
Martinez was an incredible goalie
The rest - not so much
Spain played incredibly well
The ref should swallow his whistle tbh

Getting profiled for an article about early marriage and working together with @msdavidova by Business Insider was not on my bingo card.. the article is awesome nonetheless, and I highly recommend getting married early ;)

New Anthropic research: A global workspace in language models.

Of everything happening in your brain right now, only a tiny fraction is consciously accessible—thoughts you can describe, hold in mind, and reason with.

We found a strikingly similar divide inside Claude.

Belgian bureaucrats are about to learn the might of the American lawyers. Highest rate of lawyers per capita in the world, mes amis.

[Brent Scher @BrentScher]

REPORT: Belgium has “lawyered up” to fight back against FIFA’s decision to reinstate Balogun, according to a local reporter for the team.

[Nick Davidov @Nick_Davidov]

Wow!

My husband and I are honored and thrilled to participate in the Invest America program and gift a share of our SpaceX stock to a Trump Account for each of more than two million children across our great nation.

Every American child under 18 can benefit from having a Trump Account, but our gift specifically goes to the Accounts of children (ages 11-17) that live in areas with lower average household incomes with a bit more emphasis for those that live near our central Texas home.

We have been fortunate in our careers and hope this gift encourages the next generation to continue the journey of enabling humanity to live and fly amongst the stars.

A huge thanks to all that worked to bring this incredible program to life.

[Nick Davidov @Nick_Davidov]

Happy 250th Birthday to the best country in the world!
I feel enormously grateful to the Founding Fathers and to all Americans and Immigrants after who built this beautiful nation. Let’s keep building!

@freeadvent86806 You should be investigated for any signs of brain

[Nick Davidov @Nick_Davidov]

I am persuaded there are also such groups fueling anti skilled immigration sentiment.

NEW: BPI research reveals that a Marxist-Leninist group with documented ties to China has been a critical mobilizer in efforts that have blocked or delayed $23.6 billion in AI investment in the US.

Its scalps include 10 data center moratoria, 1 permanent data center ban, and 4 rejected or scrapped AI projects.

In Part II of our foreign influence investigation, BPI exposes the Party for Socialism and Liberation (or PSL) as the political arm of Shanghai-based Neville Singham, and lays bare a national campaign launched by the party to stop America’s data center buildout.

Singham is the subject of multiple federal investigations into his reported ties to the CCP. Our research uncovers the anti-data-center organizing of his activist vehicle, the PSL, across 21 campaigns in 14 states, in roles ranging from lead organizer to one member of a broader coalition.

This report adds to the mounting evidence that China and its surrogates are committed to stopping America’s data center buildout so that Beijing can gain the advantage in the AI race.

@losslandscape @specsaregood Actually the startup I’m helping to hire for is OSS, so yes, they’ll be working on open source full time 996

[Nick Davidov @Nick_Davidov]

we're at a point in time where hiring for any senior technical role in SF is near impossible for a startup, we're hearing "i'd just stay in the [lab name] and keep making a few mil a year for now" every time.
We do really need more H1Bs/O1s to move here

@AndrewCFollett @fle129 @grok is hiring someone on a visa akin to a government subsidy?
