shoutout @barsisyphus for this inspired piece! lucky to work with you all @AmplifyPartners @sarahcat21

Cannot recommend this piece from @sachinnbenny highly enough; both a joy to read and some very astute and thought provoking takes.
In some ways, the degree to which the professional world can be API/MCP-ified matters more than how "intelligent" the models get.

Management is an interface into which we’ve built increasingly expressive forms of intelligence. Hierarchies, standards, and APIs encode ways to coordinate work but are kind of dumb computationally. AI adds more expressiveness to this interface
Really good writing from @sachinnbenny about AI's impact on how we organize firms.
Why are decreased AI-driven transaction costs not impacting firms as we might expect them to?

It’s been a whirlwind since I founded Resin, and I’m excited to share what we’re building. resin.co/beta is a generative instrument for music producers — it proposes instrumental stems that fit the track you’re building, letting you explore new directions without leaving your session.

Snowflake vs Databricks is like Factory vs Cognition for guys who still remember the rule of 40

Great piece from @ayanobacter on optogenetics!
A great reminder for anyone underestimating the complexity of novel science.
- Science need tools to understand what we cannot observe.
- And creativity to hypothesize and imagine what could be
- Then experiments, reasoning, and persistence to create something new
My first piece for the @AmplifyPartners Writing Fellowship is out: The Fertility of an Idea
It traces the lineage of optogenetics and argues that great science grows the way living things do, across time, people, instruments, branching and borrowing, and that this should shape how we build AI for science.
I’m grateful to @dbeyer123, @madelynheart_ and @ElliotHershberg at Amplify for their time and support along the way, and a very big thank you to the inimitable @barsisyphus who edited the piece with lots of care.

1/ Introducing Flint.
It’s a pretty good model for agentic coding locally.
We @Recursive_SI think a lot of everyday coding will move to models running on your laptop or a server down the hall.
Here’s why we built it.

Today, we’re excited to launch the Datology Curation Studio, customizable frontier data curation for every team training its own models.
Data quality is the ultimate compute multiplier, and Curation Studio makes it easy for everyone.

Datology is one of the best (if not the best) data research labs. Their tech reports are packed with practical details and tricks for curating data properly across pre / post-training and evals. Some of my favorite resources and write ups from them:
- DatBench: arxiv.org/abs/2601.02316
- DatSmith: datologyai.com/blog/datasmit…
- Pretrain vs. CPT analysis: datologyai.com/blog/finetune…
- UberWeb: arxiv.org/abs/2602.15210
- BeyondWeb: arxiv.org/abs/2508.10975
Really cool to see them packaging these learnings / best practices into a unified platform!

So many venture investors are used to the last decade of underwriting where the main risk was the ability to capture demand - find pmf, scale sales etc…
For many of the new businesses being funded today demand is no longer the issue - if you can make low cost reliable ballistic missile interceptors or high bandwidth low cost memory then ya obviously you will have insane demand.
The risk moves to supply - ‘can you actually make the thing’ - a question literally no one asked in the era of HRISs & Neobanks - feels like a lot of faces will get ripped off people pricing ‘demand’ for magic beans that will never be delivered.

Today, I’m excited to launch conspiracystudios.com, a creative agency for technology companies and investment firms.
We build stories that turn skeptics into true believers and bring them to life through brands, websites, fundraising materials, content, and more.
Why Conspiracy? Because every great endeavor starts off as a one: a small group of people that see something the rest of the world doesn’t (yet) and commit to making it real.
The hard part is getting everyone else to see what you do. That’s where we come in.
Conspiracy speaks the language of ambitious founders and investors — technology, AI, finance, markets — and fluidly translate those ideas into strategy, writing, design, and creative work that moves people to action.
We do our best work at inflection points: a launch, raise, rebrand, repositioning, new market, or time where your old story no longer fits where you're going.
Over the last three years, we’ve have the privilege of doing this work for technical startups, unicorns, Fortune 500 companies, and VC & PE firms — including @adapter, @fabrionai, @tipalti , @ActivantCapital , and many more.
I‘m deeply grateful to the clients, collaborators, and friends have helped us get to this point: @SteveSarracino, @JuliusStener, @mccoype, @AdamGhetti, @InesBuSu, @teddyellison91, @singareddynm, @seanxthielen, @barsisyphus, and many more.

part of the problem of the ai assistant is that everyone's focused on productivity .. which is a tiny tiny sliver of where this market is going
