Humanity is defined by our agency to create. In a post-superintelligence world, the scope of human creation will change. We will need new tools and we believe merging with intelligence will be fundamental to maximizing agency, autonomy, and individual power. We have been working closely with @alexblania, @sama and @sandroherbig at @worldcoin, building tools that protect human agency. We are thrilled to expand our partnership with @mikhailshapiro, @sumner and Tyson with our investment in @merge, co-leading this financing with OpenAI. If you are interested in learning more get in touch!

Congratulations to our client @SpaceX on an incredible milestone – its first spaceflight with people on board. Thank you for allowing humanity to dream about what we might achieve beyond our pale blue dot. It's an inspiration to our firm and to so many others.

"Alexa, ask @Westin to bring me some towels", then this guy shows up at my door. What a time to be alive.

Flew with my new Anova Precision Cooker in my carry-on luggage. Imagine what this looked like on the x-ray machine - TSA was not amused.

It's not (just) that investors are lazy. An unclear pitch is a failed pitch, and failure at this task predicts failure in your startup.
