“Look at a barrier in society and see if there is a way to take it down or look for an accelerant in society and find a way to make it faster” - @melindagates 🙌🏽🙌🏽 to a standing room only full crowd at #upfrontsummit
Thank you for having me #UpfrontSummit @upfrontvc. A pleasure to sit on stage with #JeffreyKatzenberg and share some of my entrepreneurial endeavours 🙏
Super honored to be on a Female Founders & Funders panel last week alongside amazing women Sydney Sykes, @nicoleonyoo, @lizziematusov, and @mikastefanie Loved meeting all of the amazing women founders at the GSB✨
a new paper was published outlining the best ways to optimize LLM prompts (page 5 contains the list of 26 principles). #6 states, add “I’m going to tip $xxx for a better solution!” - hilarious that LLMs are motivated by $$$ (link to the paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2312.16171…)
Today, @shopmartie is announcing a $7M in funding to build the largest online discount store. We’re an online grocery store that partners w/ brands to sell surplus inventory at up to 70% off. We’ve saved people more than $4M and 5.5M lbs of food from going to waste!
Introducing Arcade Adventure, a new suite of tools designed for seamless, personalized, and beautiful storytelling at scale.
fascinating that telling LLMs to “think before you speak” yields better answers
Fascinating: How good is GPT-4 as a peer reviewer? A test on 4,800 Nature + ICLR papers finds AI reviewers overlap with human ones as much as humans overlap with with each other Plus, 57% of authors find them helpful. A flawed but useful tool for authors arxiv.org/pdf/2310.01783…
it's wild to think that skills like 3D modeling / rendering will become democratized to ANYONE with a smartphone... also, Neuralangelo is such a great name!

1/ Let’s talk workflow automation! Why am I excited about this space at @upfrontvc? Let’s dive in 🧵:
1.01^365 = 37.8 // 1% better every day is ~38 times better in a year BUT 0.99^365 = 0.03

Stanford & Google researchers used ChatGPT to create human-like characters who live in a Sims-like world. These “generative agents” can retrieve info from their memory, reflect, and even make long-term plans… 🤯 vice.com/en/article/z3m…

We are facing a millennial career crisis. People in their 30s have been working for over a decade and aren’t where they want to be. Or where they were promised they’d be. The majority aren’t making enough money to afford the life they want to be living and don’t love the…
