people are sleeping on accessibility APIs in the age of AI

10/10 want to work on AI but not directly in research/engineering? Advice: work on the data engine — it’s complex, hard, creative, hugely important.

9/ We’re increasingly focused on the data engine across all our portfolio companies. The future of AI depends not just on having more data but on using it better. Smarter curation, synthetic data, high-quality human data, and robust RL will drive the next wave of capability.

1/ As AI models grow more powerful, it’s becoming clear that data strategy is just as important as model architecture for advancing capabilities. The right data—and how we use it—will determine the future of AI performance.

new batch of @conviction embed companies just landed and they’re so good 🙇‍♀️

It’s important to solve hard problems and build things that inspire a sense of awe, wonder and magic. Footages from test and integration of the pioneer N30. Volume up 🔊 🎥 @MinimalDuck https://t.co/Yt1qktPYiL

When I tried raising, a lot of VCs said it would take me $50M+ and 5-7 years to get a production boat out given the complexity and scale of the problem. That is the norm in hardware. It’s fun challenging the norm- so here I am.

OpenAI talk at CMU today. Lines as far as the eye can see, completely filled up the largest building on campus. I waited 45 minutes and didn’t even get in. Feels like a sign of the times, the AGI revolution is here https://t.co/mP5sLY1Q9F

Yup

*exceptions, including needing compute for training FMs, which 99% of software teams shouldn’t do

forms of ego validation: - big rounds, big prices - brands, celebrities - press, conferences, klout ofc, some first-time founders understand

.@btaylor is the rare unicorn of leader, technologist, product thinker, (friend!) must-listen episode for insight into AI in the enterprise, agents in the wild, and long-term arc of tech landscape

Seattle doing its best SF take today. https://t.co/23uanWb3n5

So many exciting releases coming from Ai2 in the next couple months I'm hype.

if there was ever a sign that supply chain security needs to be a top natsec priority, the 9/17 pager attack was it all the policymakers talking about pushing “norms” in the supply chain for adversaries — the Overton window on these “norms” is not one you want to rely on

Incumbents often have all the “ingredients” and none of the fire. Just do things. The market isn’t as scary as people think Founders would be shocked by how often current/former employees say (of incumbents) “no chance we can go after x new opportunity soon”
