Making Advisors

A theme I have been hearing from founders lately is training an AI to create a virtual advisor. There are various flavors of this idea but here are a few I've heard in the last week: 1/ Train a virtual board. Pick ten to twenty real people (alive or dead) and collect all of their public speaking, public writing, and all that has been written about them, train an AI on them, and then ask them questions you would ask your board. 2/ Train a virtual CMO. Pick a bunch of the top CMOs and collect a...

The Fundamentals Are Coming to Crypto

For over a decade, crypto markets have oscillated between narratives, hype cycles, and bursts of liquidity-driven speculation. Valuation frameworks were thin, inconsistent, or absent. Price action moved ahead of fundamentals because fundamentals themselves were either immature or impossible to measure. But that era is ending. The next phase of crypto’s evolution will be defined not by imagination alone, but by measurable performance. The fundamentals are coming to crypto, and in some corners ...

How to offer free rent in Santa Monica

Customarily, landlords induce tenants to lease space in a building by offering X months of free rent, as opposed to discounting the actual face rent. For example, let's assume that the rent for a particular apartment is $3,000 per month or $36,000 per year. Assuming the inducement is equal to one month of free rent, the two logical options are: (1) offer the first month for free and then charge $3,000 for the remaining 11 months or (2) charge $2,750 per month. Both options equal $33,000 in gr...

In the Night I Dream: A Dreamlike Odyssey

Every so often, a film arrives already humming with its own internal language— a story that feels less written and more remembered. In the Night I Dream is one of those works. Created by British-Nigerian multi-layered artist and director Isioma Idehen, this story was born from dualities it refuses to separate: between England and Nigeria, dreamworld and waking life, fear and faith. What first pulled Isioma into Àdá’s journey wasn't a plot or an image. It was a return. "Àdá’s journey began wit...

The Modern Parlor

I had a fantastic chat with @chriscocreated and @arjantupan today. We're beta testing Depthcaster, Chris's new project, which enables community and self-curation of the Farcaster experience. But the conversation we had was broader; it's about connecting with great ideas and the people creating them. A curated feed is only part of that experience. Everyone who has gone to a Farcaster meetup knows the feeling of being surrounded by the people who you love from your community, chat, and channel....

Being Human in a World That Prices Everything

The conversion of humans into tradable assets did not begin with blockchain. It is older than any technology we might blame. Whenever a system needs to allocate resources, predict behavior, or extract value, it develops methods to render persons as comparable units. The mechanisms vary—ledgers, algorithms, scores, tokens—but the operation remains constant: reduce a human to a legible instrument whose worth can be calculated by others.

The public health case for eliminating human drivers

We've been talking a lot about autonomous vehicles, and in particular Waymo, on this blog. In my opinion, the safety records — which Waymo has published after driving more than 100 million driverless miles — already suggest that none of us should be driving cars anymore. Some or many of you will disagree with this statement, but there's a reason why car crashes are the number two cause of death for children and young adults in the US. So not only is this a tech breakthrough and a profound cit...

The widespread use of digital technologies has given law enforcement brand new opportunities to use sophisticated tools for detecting crimes. That said, simply because technology has opened up new pathways for investigation does not mean that we should use them in ways that violate personal privacy.
