So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated , uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the “most wealthy person in the world.”

[Tim Draper @TimDraper]

Grateful to @thebenbergman and @BusinessInsider for the feature this week.

Let me cut through the headline about @OpenAI being the "AOL of AI."

Here's what I actually meant:

OpenAI is fantastic. I should've invested early (weird structure scared me off… lesson learned).

But just like @AOL → @Yahoo → @Google, we're still in the early innings of who wins AI.

We're at the top of the hype cycle right now.

It'll dip. People will panic. Then it explodes upward and becomes bigger than anyone imagined.

Same pattern every time:

- "I'm not putting my credit card on @Amazon" → Can't live without it

- Dotcom bubble → Internet changed everything

- Crypto skeptics → @Bitcoin at $100K+

The question everyone asks: Will AI replace my job?

Well in VC, the answer is, “not yet,” but we are pushing to make it happen at Draper.

AI can analyze history, competition, and financials. But there's an X-factor to every entrepreneur that AI can't evaluate.

When someone's doing something AI has never seen before? That takes human curiosity.

The second question. The third. The fourth. Digging in to see if it's really promising.

I can still outperform any AI in investing, but not for long.

I am hoping to keep innovating until AI can do my job.

Venture capital is a moral mission. When people feel like they can start businesses and disrupt the old establishment, they create a better world.

[Jeff Dorman @jdorman81]

In my 25 year investing history, credit has ALWAYS led, not the other way around.

Would be beyond disbelief shocked if equity, commodity & crypto traders sniffed out recession before credit investors.

If credit ain't scared, I'm not scared

The selloff is all fear; no substance

"More Doggo than Doggo"

Motion scanned @ 60fps. Playing back @ 20fps.

Meet our inhouse tech Doggo "Rolo".

Since July we've been redesigning our scanning pipeline to work with the new 3D Gaussian Splatting for Real-Time Radiance Field Rendering method from Inria.

GS has reignited our passion for 3D/4D scanning. Thank you to the team at @Inria

IR's AeonX capture system has been designed to capture "Spatial" memories for the future.

We've built on a custom version of Inria's Sibr viewer to handle the playback of our multiple processed 4D frames.

Our next goal is to optimize the player to be multi-threaded to improve performance over 60fps.

GS has reignited our passion for 3D/4D scanning. Thank you to the team at @Inria
