Doing your own due diligence means: sometimes reading white papers, leveling up your Google search skills, consulting industry experts, and looking up patents and other random stuff. Yes, this is all on top of just opening up a data room & drafting a deal memo. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Everything that happened in less than a week at @OpenAI is insane but I agree here

Founders: please 🙏 take time off this holiday week to REST RECOVER. I've heard from some who are not taking any time off & I feel like many are on the verge of burnout. It's important to slow down. You must charge your batteries to be successful 🪫

Oh… so this is the ending. Friends, is this the best way forward? Personally I still think that it’s beneficial for @sama and @gdb continue helming OpenAI
We remain committed to our partnership with OpenAI and have confidence in our product roadmap, our ability to continue to innovate with everything we announced at Microsoft Ignite, and in continuing to support our customers and partners. We look forward to getting to know Emmett Shear and OAI's new leadership team and working with them. And we’re extremely excited to share the news that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, together with colleagues, will be joining Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team. We look forward to moving quickly to provide them with the resources needed for their success.

If you're a young person following this OpenAI nonsense, here's the major takeaway: these people aren't smarter than you. They aren't more talented. They don't make better decisions. You can do this too, and better, and you should. Go do something big.

I’m co-hosting a private fundraiser for Israeli charities at the end of the month in LA 🇮🇱 We have an incredible guest list, including survivors, who will speak. We are seeking cash sponsors to cover hard costs. Most services are being donated. DM to get involved.
