I am really excited this year about starting my new goal over the next few years. I know once this is achieved, it will become much easier for me to achieve my other goals. #theNSLS Name: Trevis Wallace Current University: Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ) Goal/Reflection: Achieve $1 million in my stock investment portfolio

Remember this the next time people gaslight you with anti data center crap. Speaking of gaslighting: Canada flares off 7 GW of natural gas as a waste product of mining each year- more power than all the LLM training clusters use combined. Let’s build data centers in Alberta.

The fungus and plant that make a lichen don’t act similarly, yet their symbiosis makes it obvious they are deeply aligned. So it’s something more subtle than just “fitting in”.

The AI era of apps is here. In this discussion with a16z Apps Fund GPs Alex Rampell, David Haber, and Anish Acharya, they break down: - How AI is driving explosive product growth - The new product categories that couldn't exist before AI - Why AI-native startups should look for “greenfield” opportunities with unserved customers instead of competing with large incumbents - Why moats still matter - How software is eating labor 00:00 Introduction 02:17 AI's role in enterprise and consumer applications 05:03 Emerging AI trends and investment strategies 08:43 Traditional software going AI-native 14:40 Software eating labor 17:04 Case study: Eve 21:33 Building defensible moats 24:45 Case study: Salient 31:53 The walled garden 40:23 Incumbents vs startups 53:32 Consumer AI applications 56:03 Model aggregation strategy 57:06 Investment process & team 1:06:46 Customer retention & enterprise sales @arampell @dhaber @illscience

2025 RECAP 🧵 Looking back, this year has felt like a dream. So many things came together, and my work found its way into places I once only imagined. • My work Liquid Modernity was exhibited and auctioned at Christie’s, as part of their inaugural AI art auction. • I won Claire Silver’s AI Contest with my work Dromological. • I collaborated with world-renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky, one of the most influential artists of our time. We presented a solo exhibition of our Hypertopographics series at Heft Gallery, New York, later shown at Contemporary Istanbul and lastly at Paris Photo. • My work is featured in Dopamine at Le Cube Garges, Paris. A major institutional exhibition running until July 18, 2026, presented as part of Némo Biennale 2025, the International Biennale of Digital Arts. • Work from my previous collections continued to be exhibited internationally, from Shanghai to New York’s Times Square, my work was featured in many exhibitions across galleries and public spaces. • A defining chapter of the year was my AI generated feature documentary film Post Truth: - It became the first AI feature film in cinema history to secure a theatrical release. The theatrical deal was reported by Deadline Hollywood. - The film had its international premiere at Warsaw Film Festival, one of the only 14 A-list festivals in the world accredited by FIAPF. Variety announced the international debut. - The film subsequently screened at long-established festivals, including the 66th Festival dei Popoli, the oldest documentary festival in Europe, and the 62nd International Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival, the longest-running festival in Turkey. - It received overwhelmingly positive reviews from professional critics in Turkey, Poland, and Italy. - The film lastly won the Audience Award at FrontDoc International Film Festival. • This year marked key milestones for our AI production company, Spongeworthy Studio: With Post Truth becoming a theatrically released, critically acclaimed film, while @VikkiBardot's short film Dreamt by Another, screened at over 20 festivals before being acquired by MUBI. • The soundtrack album of Post Truth was released in December via Tamar Records on vinyl, CD, and digital platforms. • Much of the year was focused on moving conversations around AI and art beyond online spaces, into wider public and cultural contexts. • From Paris Photo to international film festivals, I spent much of the year on panels and public discussions, contributing to the conversation around AI and art beyond Web3. • I was featured in major outlets, from The Observer to CNN Türk, and gave over 25 interviews across print, online, and television. • A curated image gallery of my work circulated widely across mainstream platforms, including Bored Panda, MSN, and AOL. • The year included several auctions, highlights including: – Hypertopographics #1 sold for $18,000 via Heft Gallery, New York. – Earth Misread sold for $8,100 via Asprey Studio Gallery, London. – Liquid Modernity sold for $5,040 via Christie’s, New York. I don’t take any of this lightly. This year raised the bar for what the work demands next. A key part of this year was seeing my AI-generated work move beyond online spaces and enter real-world galleries, institutions, cinemas, and publications. My interviews followed a wild path: I started the year talking about AI and photography around the Christie’s exhibition, moved into AI and filmmaking with Post Truth, and ended up discussing AI and music through the soundtrack. I’m genuinely grateful for every step along the way, and for the seriousness with which all my work has been received. New exhibitions are confirmed for the coming year, with several new projects set to be released. Major announcements are on the way. 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting one.

ELON MUSK: We are seeing Grok very helpful in things like customer service The AI is infinitely patient and friendly; you can yell at it, and it’s still going to be very nice I think in terms of improving the quality of customer service and issue resolution Grok is already doing quite a good job at SpaceX and Tesla. We look forward to offering that to other companies

This really correlates to how I feel when I speak to AI now. 😆

Interesting correlation here. I see that even with AI and Space exploration that math is deeply involved in the backbone of every architectural decision on these technologies.

From my recent experience, this type of AI work has been extremely popular on the street lately.

The benefit in the medicine field has been very impressive to hear about lately.

The fact that, '...All emails drafted and labeled are never stored in our logs. All scheduling gets auto-deleted in two weeks....' is one of the many reasons why I value Perplexity's AI Models over other AI companies!

IonQ is excited to collaborate with @NVIDIA as one of the quantum-process builders contributing to NVQLink. We are helping drive the integration of quantum and classical computing, enabling next-generation breakthroughs in chemistry, materials science, and beyond. nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/n…

It turns out the easy way to solve the memory problem in machine learning is just to use the identity function: never delete or change anything, your memory is just every observation you’ve ever made. Such a good hack.

Nice!

We are launching Perplexity Patents as a beta product, available worldwide starting today. While in beta, Perplexity Patents will be free for all users. Pro and Max subscribers will receive additional usage quotas and model configuration options.

This will certainty cut through the noise in AI patents, especially for AI inventors among academia students.

Fascinating!

I envision star trek realms when I see this! :)

It is exciting to see and hear about how IonQ is at many different international events this year!
