Replying to @potentially_agi
@potentially_agi’s first few months as a listed company, and why we chose London so early.
 I sat down with @neilshahuk and Samantha Harrison of Grant Thornton UK to talk about the role of great advisors and what the @LSEplc allows us to do.

The response in the past 72 hours has been phenomenal - a clear signal that having all your favourite AI in one app is a value proposition that people want. It's important that we give our early supporters value so we’re extending free annual access for a year on our base plan to the first 25,000 users.

Circa 90% of global token usage sits with just three companies. Incredible companies, with amazing models and products. But with so many new models, new labs, and innovation from the open source community, I suspect the data may look very different in a few years. The good news for the industry… the pie gets bigger, and IMV so will the distribution.

A year ago @potentially_agi made a bet… being model agnostic is the smartest way to deal with the true cost of AI. As models improve efficacy, more tasks fall within reach of lower cost intelligence. + for those chasing an incremental edge be reminded that today’s frontier, isn’t promised tomorrow - bet on collective AI!

It's not every week you get to say you listed your company on @LSEplc ... On Monday, we did. @potentially_agi is now trading under the ticker #AGI.

Monday was symbolic. I'm blessed to have shared it with so many incredible people (plus my fam) who deserve their flowers for this milestone. Monday was a day to be enjoyed, be present and reflect... Tuesday was all about focus.

Almost a year ago, @potentially_agi was an idea and bet on the future. Today, we began trading on the London Stock Exchange (ticker: #AGI).

I spoke with our team, partners and investors after the closing ceremony... founders get the privilege of standing at the front. But this moment belongs to our people, and everyone who pushed, and believed before there was proof. So why does Potentially exist?

Great investors tend to be pessimistic; skeptics of popular beliefs. Great entrepreneurs tend to be optimistic; unwavering in their own beliefs. Both optimism and pessimism has a place.

Proud to introduce Flight3 to the world 🚀
Innovation waits for no one. Brands that start thinking like innovators NOW will define the once-in-a-generation opportunities that are coming next. Which is why today we're announcing the acquisition of Zebu. And together, the launch of a new team. Introducing - Flight3.

🚨 Unpopular opinion: the work life balance debate is flawed.  General sentiment always seems to imply that work is bad, and life is bad. The reality is - if you enjoy your work, you likely have more balance, than those that don’t.
We all keep talking about work life balance... But is it even something we should strive for? Maybe how we frame the conversation is flawed. It implies that work is bad and life is good. @oliveryonchev shares his view👇 What's your take? #remotework #work #WorkLifeBalance

So maybe the debate shouldn’t be about dividing ‘work’ and ‘life’… It should focus on ‘balanced work’ and then we’d all achieve better outcomes. Employers start focusing on creating great environments, fair policies, fair expectations, providing more variety in roles, etc.

Facts from @FurqanR 👏
The *most* common mistake startup founders make is thinking their idea is their advantage when it's actually how fast they ship Ideas will eventually be copied, usually by companies with more resources and scale What matters is how far ahead you are and how you'll maintain that

2021 is the year that investing changed forever, with record numbers of retail traders joining the ranks. It could be easy enough to dismiss the changes that happened this year as a passing fad, but let's take a look at the key moments of the year that truly shook the world.

Know when you should speak, but more importantly when you shouldn’t 👂
"It's very hard to tell great social stories or tell stories with depth if you don't know what people think of your brand..." @TheSocialChain's @oliveryonchev uses Chase Bank to explain why brands need to have a strong sense of self-awareness before posting on social. #SMWONE
