Huge distribution channels + existing integration into everyone's daily lives -> Google's AI capabilities will be a startup killer to all the B2B SaaS companies that rely on a GPT-wrapper as a moat. And the solution won't be to make a prettier GPT-wrapper lol.

The tailwinds in building a tech startup have never been stronger than right now. What's going to distinguish winners from losers is the ability to balance: let strong genAI tailwinds propel forward w little effort, without letting it take you off course or worse, overtake you.

Huge props to Robert Wachen and the Prod team for organizing a beautiful founder community at Harvard/MIT. The demo day this weekend was super inspiring - definitely an abnormally high concentration of startup talent & builders to rival Stanford's. Left feeling super inspired :)

We've raised $235 million in new funds from top tech leaders. /1 open.substack.com/pub/neo/p/neo-…

Apple is a master at destroying $400M consumer tech startups in a couple sentences of #WWDC23. the victim this time? Mmhmm, which has raised $235M to do... presenter overlays? Yeah um... thanks Softbank

Can finally talk about how I worked on the @apple Vision Pro cameras📸. Was absolutely the most beautiful and important piece of consumer technology I’ve ever had the privilege to touch. Lots of fair skepticism about its capabilities but this is truly sci-fi/magic -> reality.

Trying to offboard from rippling is the worst. We’ve been paying them for the last 3 months thanks to support telling us we have to disable the account on our end but we can’t log in because it’s already disabled. Is this what VCs mean by building a “sticky product” lol

Founders were heads down building in the 24/7 workroom.💻

Separation of concerns in managing an early-stage startup codebase is massively underrated.

My definition of “Life’s Work:” “A lifelong quest to build something for others that expresses who you are” 3 parts to the definition, all important… “A LIFELONG QUEST” reflects the reality that work isn’t about a series of accomplishments, which ultimately ring hollow.

And that’s a wrap on Sunriver! 🥳 Programming was in full swing and the teams were in sprint mode trying to make the most of the remaining time.

Post-GPT-V, I’m convinced that language models combined with the right domain-specific language (DSL) & agent abstractions can soon autonomously build complex software. Consider the example of GPT-V taking in a prototype of a user interface or network diagram and generating a

Data can flow through this connector so fast that microscopic differences in trace lengths matter. Notice how the inside trace in this pair has a wiggle that makes it exactly as long as its outer counterpart.

Today I’m proud to launch Context, a CLI and open-source corpus for the python ecosystem - 4M quality embeddings of the top 1218 Python Libraries. $ pip install fleet-context or download to get the entire python universe. Here’s why this is game-changing for both Devs and LLMs

I’m thrilled to announce ✈️ Context with LangChain and Pydantic, a CLI over 4m high-quality embeddings across 1218 Python libraries’ docs. We embedded >500m tokens so you can get the most up-to-date info about libraries. And we’ve open sourced all of it. Let’s dig in 👇

I'm proud to be at a company that cares so deeply about safety, explains its thinking publicly, and makes strong and *detailed* commitments. join us!!!! openai.com/careers/search…

We're excited to share that Spur has raised $4.5M, led by First Round to allow teams to own high quality testing We've partnered with some of the most customer centric companies like Wander Y Combinator Living Spaces Norse Atlantic Airways to deliver the best user experiences
