Airports need two lanes: one for people who’ve traveled before, and one for folks who are clearly experiencing their first day on Earth.

I think part of it, at least vis a vis US/China competition, is that US and western chattering classes find it hard to believe that the market-driven outcome of frontier AI could possibly be right. They basically believe, in their hearts, that the Chinese system, with its “industrial strategy,” has eclipsed capitalism. So they harbor the same inferiority complex toward the Chinese system that many Americans once harbored toward the EU’s system. Their heuristic is that the industrial strategists of China have grasped the whole picture of the technological competition in a way that US industrialists, with their “profit maximizing incentives,” could not possibly have matched. And so any outcome in the economy that is not the result of “strategy” is therefore prima facie worse than what the “strategists” have concocted. They also believe the Chinese strategists possess awesome powers of foresight and the ability to evade all tendencies of financial and economic gravity, due of course to “strategy,” really it’s almost a kind of orientalism. Meanwhile the U.S. industrialists are making new advances in math and science, and the fastest-growing businesses in history, by spending hundreds of billions of dollars on high-margin chips whose legacy is in rendering video games, cramming them underneath tents if need be, and investing generational capital into new energy generation technologies as they do it, and perhaps even colonizing space as an instrumentally convergent result. But none of that is “strategy,” you see.

I find it so interesting how persistently unable the strategic classes of free society are to analyze AI well. So many keep getting stuck in these basins of delusion. I was at a conference where it was not just asserted but taken for granted that Chinese models have dominant global inference market share. The 2024/early 25 version of the delusion was “mode collapse/data wall” (even after reasoning models!), then it was “AI is plateauing and a bubble” for most of 2025, now it’s “Chinese OSS is good enough.” The share of people in the strategic classes who think this is gradually declining, but it is still sufficiently common that you can attend a prestigious conference and encounter a room principally filled with basin-dwellers.

As a EU citizen, I'm really worried that the EU will disappear and be technology irrelevant. It's one thing to not be able to produce the latest tech, but it's another thing to also cut yourself off from the latest tech because you have bureaucrats unable to understand a thing.

Personal Update: Carrying a whole crate of mangoes through the airport with the wife’s name written on every side so nothing happens to them. Kindly treat this as a formal apology to the entire mango community.

Here is my story about Vinod Khosla. In May 2017, I was six weeks from running out of cash. I had over extended myself funding a software project inside of Startup Grind that later became Bevy. One night at midnight on the couch I said to my wife, "I'm about to run out of money and we're going to lose everything," She said, "You'll figure it out." I stayed up all night sending emails and praying. I had interviewed Vinod a few times at SG and barely knew him but I emailed him at 1:39am. He emailed me back at 7:34am asking for my number. He ended up calling me later that day in a ride to a meeting. His advice and encouragement helped propel me to raising $1M in 6 weeks and saved the company. I will never forget his willingness to answer an immediate call from a near stranger in my most desperate professional moment.
I was once pitching in a board room at a top 3 VC firm for a $15M Series A. 12 people in the meeting. One of the GPs fully fell asleep. Out cold for 30 minutes. Nobody acknowledged it. Everyone just kept going. I kept presenting my Series A slides to an unconscious man in a Herman Miller chair and somehow that was considered normal. That's venture capital. You might fly across the country to perform for people who may or may not be conscious. It's a dance. And sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow and sometimes your partner is unconscious. If you're raising right now, just know: every founder has a story like this. The process is weird. The power dynamic is weird. You're not crazy for thinking it's weird. No one talks about it because they want to continue raising. But I'm happy to stick my neck out there. It is weird.

When you were young, I called you my encyclopedia, because everything you read you remembered. That’s a talent you cannot learn. Proud mom.
