And as always, familiar faces made it worth showing up. See you soon at @proofoftalk in Paris!

1994: Nixon warns about the rise of Russian imperialism Nixon argued that Russia would revert to expansion if weakened and isolated. The warning came long before the outcome became visible.

Why urgency makes people buy stupid things In Boiler Room, brokers don’t sell stocks. They sell time pressure. When urgency spikes, people stop evaluating. Logic slows down. Decisions get rushed.

The $1B AI agent idea Y Combinator keeps repeating the same advice: don’t chase flashy AI ideas. The biggest outcomes usually come from boring problems that sit close to real work. One founder noticed his mom, a dentist, drowning in paperwork and billing. He didn’t build a futuristic AI. He built a small tool to automate the boring parts of her day. That tool scaled. AI agents don’t win by being impressive. They win by quietly replacing repetitive human labor in places nobody brags about.
