Underrated press benefit for technical founders - press can typically articulate your positioning better than you can!

For years I said "if Quickbooks and OpenAI and Stripe had a baby" but I just learned that 3 people cannot have a baby, at least in simulation!

So when @jackjaykelly from @Forbes writes "The AI-powered accounting software for startups takes the best of Quickbooks, OpenAI and Stripe" it immediately clicked!

So eloquently put (as @ashleymayer always does) - the world needs more women on offense 💪

[Ashley Mayer @ashleymayer]

I finally wrote down my thoughts about Glossy, the book about Glossier (where I used to run comms). I have some pretty strong feelings about how Emily Weiss is portrayed, and even stronger ones about what the lessons are (and aren’t) for women founders. https://t.co/vsrwiIbY3D

My grandma suffered from Alzheimers for 10 yrs, slowly deteriorating before ultimately passing when I was young. So it feels surreal to now be a VC backing breakthrough technologies (shoutout to @AltPepCorp!) that can help catch and prevent Alzheimers in its earliest stages.

@Claire Oi - got duped! Your fake account started talking to me about crypto investing 😂

[Ainhoa "Noa" Maiz @ohsoamaizing]

Big milestone today- I have officially finished the gallon jug of wholesale hand sanitizer that my mom sent me during the deep dark days of Covid🦠

So excited to purge this germophobe memories by getting dirty camping this weekend 🏕️

I'm personally intrigued to see what comes in 'gen ai for design' space. Since most LLMs are designed to generate the "best" (aka most popular) answer, will all designs revert to the conventional? Or will models be able to come up with truly original / creative concepts?

[McKinsey & Company @McKinsey]

What’s the value and impact of #generativeAI? Companies across countless industries are already experimenting with its applications. Our new research has found that the value at stake is huge–potentially $2.6 to $4.4 trillion in #productivity annually➡ https://t.co/eY2aDqBTdf

@ashleymayer Hear, hear to Tawny's good health and even better tush!

@saranormous @NoPriorsPod Vector databases - a true paradigm shift for the AI era or unproven hype? If the former, what is Snowflake's strategy to incorporate or support vectors?

[Ainhoa "Noa" Maiz @ohsoamaizing]

Surprised that this isn't getting more buzz.. @a16z doing less Fintech and Consumer investments but more Crypto?? 👀

Oh yeah, and it's all AI focused now. May the AI gods smile down upon you 🧙‍♀️🔮

Andreessen Horowitz has combined its finance and consumer teams, a sign of how the prolific investor is reacting to the economic downturn. By @KateClarkTweets & @erinkwoo https://t.co/sFboiERj9e

@alexandr_wang We are entering a noisy era indeed 😵‍💫 It's wild how, in just a few decades, the paradigm for knowledge building has shifted from gathering data where there is little > filtering through volumes of junk data to uncover what is truly relevant.

Loving the fresh faces at Kauffman this week! 🚀💰🦄
