I love how everyone thought Elon is building a superapp out of twitter, when he actually is building an AI giant around it. That guy is playing business on a whole different level.

Can someone with a design background please do a proper design critique of the Ferrari Luce? Not a car enthusiast, not a pundit, etc. My feeling is there is more than meets the eye. Or maybe not. If there is one, please point me to it.

Turns out the safest lobster is the one everyone can inspect. We wrote about the advisory flood, the real fixes, ClawHub, Agents of Chaos, and the companies helping harden OpenClaw in public. 🦞 openclaw.ai/blog/openclaw-se…

Anyone else having trouble with the conversion on @Polymarket ? Can't access the page as conversion repeatedly fails and the only advice is "Try again" 🤷‍♂️

I guess that’s supposed to be dispatch? I guess the most powerful AI (Claude ftw!) gets translations wrong. @claudeai

As much as I love driving a Tesla, the customer service online is as bad as all car brands. No way to get help for a simple issue. @Tesla

There should be a Mozilla foundation for @openclaw

“It still doesnt work pls fix. dont make any mistakes. ultrathink very hard”

Word!

hey @bendingspoons when are you buying @Flickr ? If you need a hand bringing it back to glory, I'd be interested ;-)

Still the most underrated VC skill: getting back to founders. Clear is kind, unclear is unkind.

You can determine the quality of service of @UPS by seeing how little they care about the details.

😮

Great lesson for many entrepreneurs how to turn around a business. (And that even the stars in this industry can fall)

As I'm writing my blog post Claude automations and things that didn't work, I guess I could just summarize it with: "Use speech-to-text more and fewer Claude commands." Babbling your brain dump on a task to the machine beats any static prompt.

One of the most important learnings a VC needs to have, ideally early in their career, is distinguishing the generational from the merely good. This is an inherent advantage that someone who has worked inside of a Tier 1 venture firm, or someone who has worked inside one or multiple top tier startups, has. They have been exposed to the best companies, with the best teams, products, and processes. They have seen up close how the best founders carry themselves, how they communicate, hire & build teams, build products, and compete. They have seen world class metrics and world class execution. More importantly, they see these companies at an early stage and watch them evolve over time. There is arguably no better learning for discerning generational talent than by seeing it repeatedly up close. Generational companies are so rare that it's possible for a VC to never be directly exposed to one. Without a proper frame of reference, it's hard for one's investment instinct to be sufficiently calibrated to know when they are in the presence of truly generational companies (it's highly likely they will experience many false positives). It's possible to get this exposure through other means. Mike Moritz, for example, was a journalist, but had very close relationships with top founders and VCs, notably Steve Jobs. But the level of closeness he had with his subjects, as well as his natural instincts around talent identification, are unusually strong. For most, it's impossible to develop this frame of reference from the outside. It has to come from direct exposure.

Mira Murati raises a $2bn seed round. Meanwhile it looks like Europe is making great progress in checking with vested interests if notaries are essential to starting a company.

If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived nytimes.com/2025/06/09/opini…

Personally I wouldn't accept money from Qatar unless they went through the trouble of becoming an LP in a Venture Capital fund

I was asked how we feel about investing in first time founders. I thought about it and realised that if you do not back first time founders as a VC you might not back the next Amazon, Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft or Revolut..just to name a few. Many of the most spectacular founders only create one company.
