Venture investors today are asking whether to support existing portfolio companies which are “sunk cost” or new companies that will survive & thrive in the coming venture winter. Recent tweet by

PREDICTION: There's a mass extinction event coming for early & mid-stage companies. Late '23 & '24 will make the '08 financial crisis look quaint for startups. Below I explain when, why & how it will start & offer *detailed advice to founders* on surviving the looming die-off. /1

Excellent WaPo article about large language models and chatbots that corroborates what I've been posting recently: they are useful but they make stuff up. They detail the reasons why large tech cos have been hesitant to release such things for public use. washingtonpost.com/technology/202

What products/technologies made you go "WHOA! This changes everything" ...like last year's chatGPT? For me (1/): Apple ii, IBM PC - late 1970s and 1981 PCR - 1983 Macintosh - 1984 Cold fusion (OOPS!) - 1989 Stealth bomber - (1989) Internet (Morris worm) - 1988

When I 1st saw each of these technologies, I knew life & work would never be the same.. IBM PC – 1981 Lotus 1-2-3 – 1983 Multimedia CD-Rom -1990 Netscape – 1994 RIM Pager – 1996 Laptop Wifi - 1999 iPhone – 2007 ChatGPT – 2022 What else in the last 50 yrs made you feel that way?

The AI cold war is on. Our efforts to delay (probably not deny) China’s tech advance is a big deal for AI - the pace is so fast and is likely to have multiplier effects of AI helping further advances.

We could use insight on the AI side.

U.S. Pours Money Into Chips, but Even Soaring Spending Has Limits
Amid a tech cold war with China, U.S. companies have pledged nearly $200 billion for chip manufacturing projects since early 2020. But the investments are not a silver bullet.
