Who would win?

Series B company with $70M in funding and 60 employees?

Or one man and his side-project that he works on for fun in between taking care of his kids and flying jets

It’s mourning in America.

Huge thanks to @continuedev for leading the way on open source and setting the standard for how to build for everyone.

These are the kinds of founders we love and I deeply thank @tylerjdunn and @NateSesti for being the builders they are.

For extra smoothness you can append the following to the ffplay command:

-af "deesser=i=0.65, lowpass=f=5000, asetrate=44100*0.49,aresample=44100, atempo=1/0.75"

Text-to-speech on the Mac is garbage. But thanks to Services, Automator, @MacHomebrew & @OpenAI it doesn't have to be:

Save the Quick Action as "Whisper it to me" and then whenever you right click on any highlighted text you can select it from the Services menu and have OpenAI read it back to you (for a price).

[VCs Congratulating Themselves 👏👏👏 @VCBrags]

"create an image of a venture capitalist who has just written what they feel is an important thought leadership thread about the world of technology and deal-making and is now feeling self-congratulatory"
"now more self-congratulatory"
"now even more self-congratulatory"
"now vastly vastly more self-congratulatory"

A VC goes to the doctor and says: "Help, help everybody I meet is starting to look like a large language model". Doctor says "Don't worry, my training tells me you're just hallucinating".

Thanks, I'll be here all week🫡🫠

VC sentiment this time last year vs today is night and day.
