I keep reposting people’s memories of @om because every one of them has a piece of him. He was the one with the words. Now all of us are using ours to feel him here. Rest in peace, Om. https://t.co/QcdIOConnR

Love you @om ❤️ you were one of kind

It is with profound sadness that we share the news of Om Malik’s passing.

It’s difficult to state the impact that @om had on all of our lives at True.

Om was the first Founder we funded when we started True. In our Presidio office, Om discussed his idea for a new type of media company. That idea would later become GigaOm.

Om was a brilliant Founder, an amazing teammate and Partner at True, a prolific writer, a gifted photographer, and a sage and valuable advisor to so many in the technology ecosystem.

Om was brilliant, thoughtful, humorous, profoundly kind, and deeply curious. He was also relentless when he had an idea or story. Om was brave - he never shied away from sharing his views or pushing for the truth.

We were very, very lucky to call Om our Partner and friend at True for these last many years.

For today, we simply encourage you to take a moment to remember this beautiful soul and great thinker who was in our midst. He would ask us to slow down a bit. Om would want us to think deeper, express our love for one another a lot more.

Above all else, Om wanted us all to retain our humanity and care for each other in our brilliant quest to rebuild the world.

We love you Om.

Team True

@Jkylebass @eurofounder Oddly, Britain never proposes shutting down Heathrow to slow down the UK's contribution to global C02, which is less than 1%.

Public debt is the same leveraged recapitalization run on the whole economy — today's abundance privatized, tomorrow's cost socialized onto a future that didn't vote. Witness that operation run on foreign policy: borrowed against what we couldn't pay for at home, the costs socialized onto people far from the ledger, each chapter sold as help. We even gave the logic a name — domino theory. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Iran.

It behooves us to be clear on what AI is and is not, as the confusion of the two is the source of both the giddy hype and the opaque risks. https://t.co/zL2hNHzjYY

A fast-food cheeseburger is the average of our concept of food — convenient, cheap, and slowly turning us into metabolic donkeys. Generic AI is the same bargain offered to the mind. Read The Machine Is Made Of Us
