The idea that we will automate work by building artificial versions of ourselves to do exactly the things we were previously doing, rather than redesigning our old workflows to make the most out of existing automation technology, has a distinct “mechanical horse” flavor

In 2016, I was in Dallas with early morning meetings, but I stayed up to watch Kobe Bryant's final game at Staples Center. Today, I'm in Singapore, holding off on leaving for an appointment to catch Clayton Kershaw's final regular season curtain call at Dodger Stadium.
It's been amazing to watch the @GustoHQ journey. I still remember meeting with @joshuareeves when he was a young founder with Unwrap. Now he's running an amazing company, and we're proud to be investors!

Congratulations to Larry Ellison, who has finally realized his dream of becoming the richest person in the world! Like him or not, he is a Silicon Valley icon who has stayed relevant for five decades.
It's wild that I'm now hearing podcast ads for tallow as a skincare product, and apps for using the rhythm method for contraception. Can a huge astrology comeback be far away? Kyrie Irving was ahead of his time for believing in a flat Earth.
People keep claiming that we need humanoid robots for the built environment. I'm pretty sure dogs can go almost anywhere a human can. And we have numerous robotic quadrupeds working in the world already.
Creativity comes from friction!

There is no substitute for using AI.
I'm pumped to see that @rafeuddin_ covered the @RhymeCombinator musical "Co-Founders" in the @FinancialTimes ft.com/content/eee596…. I've seen it evolve over the years, and it looks amazing!
Investing in companies that hit $100m ARR in <1 year is not the only way to win in VC. The essence of venture capital has never been about immediate revenue; it's been about providing support to founders who have strong strategic positioning and a chance at revenue.
On the Possible.fm podcast, my friends @reidhoffman and @AriaIrene discuss the blitzscaling in the #GPT5 launch, why "slow bake" startups like @figma can win big despite not growing to $100M in a year, and the @perplexity_ai bid for Chrome: open.spotify.com/episode/6cjoqY…
One of the great mysteries of life is how I can write a book in 12 hours, but I can't keep up with my emails.
Honored to have @chrisyeh bringing his expertise and insight to the #Deepinvent4Good judges panel! Chris is the co-author of Blitzscaling with @reidhoffman: a Silicon Valley classic on building companies that change the world. He's founded, advised, or invested in more than…

Great thread from the legendary @KiteVC about the @canva journey. A good reminder of the persistence it takes as both a founder and an investor. It took years for the right opportunity to come together, and now the rest is history.
If you've ever needed an excuse to pick up a copy of @blitzscaling, the Kindle version is currently on sale for $2.99, an all-time low! Of course, I can't autograph a Kindle book, so the good news is the hardcover is also on sale: amazon.com/Blitzscaling-L…
Quick thoughts on the #GPT5 rollout: This is a savvy #blitzscaling move by OpenAI. Roll out to everyone while GPT-5 is the only next-gen foundational model on the market! linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…
