Our job inside the tent isn't to write better explainer threads about how the technology works.

Our job is to listen better. To build AI that actually makes the lives of the people on the receiving end better. Pricing, labor, ownership, access — with the same energy we bring to the tech itself.

The opposite of progress isn't caution. It's mistaking momentum for permission.

Inside the tech world, AI feels like a superpower.

Outside the tech world, it feels like the thing that just raised your rent.

That dissonance is the most important thing happening in AI right now, and most of us inside the tent aren't taking it seriously enough.

I'm a 100% AI optimist. I think we're at the start of one of the most generative economic periods in modern history.

But getting there requires the rest of the country to come with us. And right now, they don't see what we see. They see RealPage. They see trillion-dollar AI companies. They see their own neighborhood.

They're asking, fairly: *whose side is this on?*

News to share: the Blocknative team has joined Deloitte. It's been eight-plus years. Thousands (more?) of conversations. Too many talks, panels, blog posts, and podcast appearances to track. A team that refused to ship anything we weren't proud of. Grateful for each and every one of you. Onward. 🫡

Full post — including the case for Phil, why I think Senator Bennet is best where he is (in the Senate), and what's missing from Dan Caruso's endorsement:

I'm voting for Phil Weiser in the Democratic primary for Colorado Governor on June 30.

Sharing why in a new post — including a response to Dan Caruso's recent endorsement of Senator Bennet.

[seth @sether]

Phil's recent speech in Grand Junction was the strongest economic vision for Colorado I've heard from any politician in some time.

Population growth has stalled to its lowest pace since 1990. Talent and capital are leaving. Phil sees it — and has a plan.

New post: what AI Ghosts are, why they push toward MORE disclosure (not less), and the case for thinking about AI as a collaborator rather than a replacement.

[seth @sether]

I've been thinking lately about what happens when people see AI where there isn't any.

I've started calling them AI Ghosts.

Real responses — a 6am email, a note dashed off on my phone — getting flagged in someone else's head as somehow not me.

The corrosive part isn't the question. It's that the question is even there.

BREAKING: WHOOP RAISES $575M AT $10.1B VALUATION 

I am pleased to announce that we’ve raised $575M at a $10.1B valuation to accelerate our mission of unlocking human performance and healthspan globally.

This round was led by Collaborative Fund with participation from 2PointZero Group, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Mubadala Investment Company, Abbott, Mayo Clinic, Macquarie Capital, Glade Brook, B-Flexion, IVP, Foundry, Accomplice, Affinity Partners, Promus Ventures, and Bullhound Capital alongside a group of individual investors including Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, Rory McIlroy, Virgil van Dijk, and Mathieu van der Poel.

This investor group and this moment reflect a powerful evolution underway for Whoop and the broader healthcare market.

Whoop was born in performance - trusted by the best athletes in the world to train, recover, and compete at the highest level. That foundation remains core to who we are. You see that in the iconic athlete investors joining this round. 

But it also represents our push into broader health. 

In the past 12 months, WHOOP has received medical clearances, launched blood testing, and created a platform that has saved lives. Abbott and Mayo Clinic - two of the most respected and influential institutions in global healthcare - are now investors in Whoop. These are organizations that have shaped modern medicine. Their decision to partner with us is a clear validation of where our technology is headed.

Healthcare systems around the world are reactive. For too long, they have waited for people to get sick, then intervene. Chronic disease is rising and costs continue to climb.

At Whoop, we believe the future looks fundamentally different. We are building the most powerful, personal, preventive health platform in the world - powered by continuous biometric data, advanced analytics, and AI to help people understand their bodies and improve their health in real time.

I am grateful to our team, our members, and our partners for believing in this vision. I’ve been building this company for 14 years and I’ve never been more excited for the future.

[seth @sether]

Good company here. Our AG, Senator, Governor... and me.
