Genuine question: has anyone working at a startup every _actually_ said they wished they had an MBA?
A really fantastic outcome for UK tech. Huge thanks to everyone across government, Bank of England and the ecosystem to make it happen.

Once the dust has settled, it will be clear this is a huge win for @HSBC_UK: already important players in tech, but now have a client list of many of the most exciting UK startups (all of whom are feeling very grateful this morning!) bankofengland.co.uk/news/2023/marc…
Has there been a bank run in the US over the last 50 years where depositors actually lost money? Fed can't let it happen. Would trigger more runs. Bank equity to 0? Sure. Funds tied up for a few days? Maybe. Lost money? Can't find an example.
Did you know that the content moderation market could be worth $32bn by 2031?? Check out this great article by @Siftedeu covering what we do and why it is so important. eu1.hubs.ly/H0367MZ0

The @tech_coalition’s mission is more important today than ever. We’re proud to renew our partnership.
Please join us in saying a huge congratulations to @nicolejarbo, Founder of Boost, as she’s named to @PitchBook's list of female Founders to Know! pitchbook.com/blog/female-fo…
This graph from the GPT-4 tech report is a much bigger deal than most people seem to have realised. I think it allows us to predict with reasonably high confidence that the problem of LLM's making things will be quite easy to solve. Here's why:
Notable to see staff from DeepMind, two Turing award winners (equivalent of Nobel for computer science) and other key researchers on this list. Worth engaging with why such informed people are concerned.
a big deal: @elonmusk, Y. Bengio, S. Russell, @tegmark, V. Kraknova, P. Maes, @Grady_Booch, @AndrewYang, @tristanharris & over 1,000 others, including me, have called for a temporary pause on training systems exceeding GPT-4 futureoflife.org/open-letter/pa…

Great to see @UnitaryAI founder @HacoSasha on @SkyNewsBiz today talking about AI’s critical role in understanding social video. With ~80 years’ worth of new footage uploaded every day, Unitary’s AI can understand this at scale and provides a safety solution to large platforms.
⭐️ @UnitaryAI (@HacoSasha and @jdthewlis) raised $8m in seed funding sifted.eu/articles/ai-un…
Excellent news on the raising of funds! @HacoSasha @UnitaryAI
@Jeremy_Hunt Fantastic news for all us startups affected by this after a very nerve-wracking weekend.
Really superb resolution of the SVB mess in the US - excellent outcome for startups and innovation (and super efficient and effective work by FDIC) federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pre…
By far the best outcome for SVB UK depositors and the UK startup ecosystem would be an acquisition and recapitalisation. Huge group of leading VCs stand ready to support a “new” SVB UK👇
Thinking of all the founders who are trying to figure out what this means for their companies, employees and customers.
Very proud to have played a tiny role in bringing this "sleekly directed" play with "remarkably high production values" to the stage. Tickets still available for tomorrow & Sunday's shows, Londoners! Tickets @DoubleTelling bio.
This sci-fi romcom was fun, offbeat and full of great writing. A clear display of emerging talent. I will be following these fab young writers/ director/ actors! theguardian.com/stage/2023/mar…
investors who ask "how can i be helpful": today is a good day to offer emergency cash to your startups that need it for payroll or whatever. no docs, no terms, just send money. it's hard for me to imagine depositors actually losing money here, but so stressful in the meantime...

Did you know that the content moderation market could be worth $32bn by 2031?? Check out this great article by @Siftedeu covering what we do and why it is so important. eu1.hubs.ly/H0367MZ0
I think there's at least 50% chance of AGI that can do anything a human does at a computer better than the average (trained) human by 2030. If you disagree, I'd be curious to know the simplest task you think AI won't be able to achieve at that date.
