If you're not sure what to get someone for their birthday, the answer is almost always: a great pair of socks.

I am already tired of AI 🫠

I wonder how many times AI has ghostwritten the phrase "If you're building, keep going" on behalf of some unsuspecting would-be thought leader for their weekly linkedin content.

Ok I admit I haven’t posted here in a while but can someone explain to me why all of a sudden my entire feed is full of bunnies?? 🐰

At this point I would pay Uber just to make the in-app uber One ads go away once and for all.

TFW you have more fun at the petting zoo than your kids do.

I cannot emphasize enough how much stories like this are a form of uncritical advertising for AI companies.

I understand the impulse to take them at their word when they wonder aloud if their giant matrix multiplication engines are about to become sentient, but it should be resisted.

So if 13 donuts are a “bakers dozen”, what’s the name for the 11 drinking glasses/dinner plates/anything fragile that I inevitably end up with when I buy a dozen and immediately break the first one?

I used to be snarky about my in laws being pack rats but now when we visit my kids spend hours playing with viewmasters, transformers and an etch a sketch.

I’m gonna book myself a yoga retreat with no wifi in 90 days. I can’t take more of this sh*t.

The upside of these tariffs is that perhaps we all will stop buying junk we don’t need.

The downside is literally everything else.

Literally will look at anything but the markets today. Send me it.

When I posted this last month I thought that was a global trade war. Lol. Little did I know that just a few weeks later…
For anyone who’s keeping track i have now personally lived through:

A global pandemic
An attempted coup
A run on the bank
A global trade war

Whats next, the zombie apocalypse?

I’ve spent eight long years helping women access capital. Can you imagine what would happen if they suddenly didn't need to?

...I believe we're about to find out.

My latest for @fortunemagazine.bsky.social - seedstrapping, tiny teams, and how AI will blow the doors of entrepreneurship wide open.

@skylight.social is not a TikTok clone! It's a great video app built on the ATproto that will only become stronger as the network (people/content/apps) grows.
@mcuban.bsky.social & @lesliefeinzaig.bsky.social backing them is the icing on the cake. /tip @techmeme.com

In just 10 weeks, @buildwithtori.com & @reedharmeyer.bsky.social built a tiktok alternative, got the investment @mcuban.bsky.social, and grew their beta so fast that it no longer fit on testflight.

I'm proud to be the second check in.

Congratulations @skylight.social!
