During our weekly “Fighting Fitness” segment, Jarrad will break down a recently published study regarding how experiencing voluntary hardship can lead to an increase in willpower and the will to live. Also, Professor Paul will consider the benefit of having muscle when you are diagnosed with a disease. We have a Leadership Lesson for you. This week we consider Decisiveness. What does that mean and how do we learn to be decisive? Finally, Paul recently wrote an article on raising backyard chickens. How important is clean protein for your overall well being?

You learned which streets you could walk on and which ones you did not dare to. However, by 1983, when we lived off of “Six and Gratiot” the city was taking a hard turn for the worse. My mother was born and lived for a time in rural Ohio in her youth. My parents decided that we needed a change from city life so, like the Beverly Hillbillies in reverse, we packed up the truck and moved from the bright lights of the big city to the cornfields of rural Holmes County, Ohio. It turned out to be one of the best and most important experiences of my life. A “Hobby Farm” Leaving Detroit behind, we moved into a small farm house that had previously been built by the English, but most recently owned by the Amish, therefore it had no electricity, telephone, etc. when we took occupancy. There were indoor plumbing and fixtures, but they weren't hooked up. For the first few weeks we roughed it, lighting the house with kerosene lamps in the evening, using an outhouse and drawing water from an outside well. There was a genuine wood-burning cook stove in the kitchen where my mother prepared our hot food until the electrician came to hook up the power and the plumber got the inside water running.

Seriously?EditorialIt's Sunday, two days later than I usually send this out. Two excuses. I was in recovery from PTSD after the “debate.” And then I almost had a relapse watching England in the Euro last 16 game against Slovakia.I'm unsure of my mental state now (we won 2-1 in extra time). But the other, more important “game” is still undecided.But in AI, it seems everybody is getting PTSD from wild allegations that AI might kill the human race to now new suggestions that there may be a bubble in valuations for early-stage companies.The items in this week's newsletter are really good. MG Seigler, Alex Wilhelm and Peter Walker dominate. The first two are former TechCrunch writers (hats off to Mike Arrington for his talent-spotting). Peter is the leading contributor to VC data; he has access to Carta data and uses it super effectively.MG and Alex have relatively new newsletter sites - SpyGlass and Cautious Optimism, respectively). They are great observers and even better writers - subscribe. Links in their articles are below.Big tech seems to be running scared of AI regulation. This from MG Seigler's : No MacBook Air Killer, All MacBook Air FillerMicrosoft really s**t the bed here both from a security and PR perspective. And what's left sounds very 'meh'. It's almost like Microsoft forget the 'Copilot' part of 'Copilot+ PCs'. And certainly they forgot the '+' part.MG also wrote about the EU and Apple, claiming that the EU is seeking to entrap Apple by refusing to state what Apple can and cannot do with its AI intentions. Apple, in response, is saying it will not launch AI in Europe until the EU says what product flexibility it has.You have to smile. Apple plays this game super well.Finally, he has ‘Behold the Hackquisition', which shows how big tech avoids M&A blocks by buying teams instead of companies.Alex Wilhelm's anticipation of the Circle (USDC) IPO is a great example of his regular style and substance.Peter Walker heads up data storytelling at Carta (great title). This week, he also has three pieces, all originally posted on his LinkedIn profile.‘Is there an AI bubble' (my title) examines the spread of Series A venture funding valuations. He separates the percentiles and measures the spread between them, noting that the gap between the 50th percentile and the 95th is the widest ever - even wider than 2021 and 2022. This is for SaaS rounds that include much AI.In H1 2019, the 50th percentile for pre-money valuations was $26M (Series A SaaS companies only, primary rounds). The 95th pct at that time was $96M.Now that's a pretty large gap. We're talking a 3.7x jump from the middle to the top end.But today things are even more skewed.

I was meeting with Faraj Aalaei (a SignalRank board member) and my colleague Rob Hodgkinson when they began to talk about “Situational Awareness,” his essay on the future of AGI, and its likely speed of emergence.So I had to read it, and it is this week's essay of the week. He starts his 165-page epic with:Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them.So, Leopold is not humble. He finds himself “among” the few people with situational awareness.As a person prone to bigging up myself, I am not one to prematurely judge somebody's view of self. So, I read all 165 pages.He makes one point. The growth of AI capability is accelerating. More is being done at a lower cost, and the trend will continue to be super-intelligence by 2027. At that point, billions of skilled bots will solve problems at a rate we cannot imagine. And they will work together, with little human input, to do so.His case is developed using linear progression from current developments. According to Leopold, all you have to believe in is straight lines.He also has a secondary narrative related to safety, particularly the safety of models and their weightings (how they achieve their results).By safety, he does not mean the models will do bad things. He means that third parties, namely China, can steal the weightings and reproduce the results. He focuses on the poor security surrounding models as the problem. And he deems governments unaware of the dangers.Although German-born, he argues in favor of the US-led effort to see AGI as a weapon to defeat China and threatens dire consequences if it does not. He sees the “free world” as in danger unless it stops others from gaining the sophistication he predicts in the time he predicts.At that point, I felt I was reading a manifesto for World War Three.But as I see it, the smartest people in the space have converged on a different perspective, a third way, one I will dub AGI Realism. The core tenets are simple:* Superintelligence is a matter of national security. We are rapidly building machines smarter than the smartest humans. This is not another cool Silicon Valley boom; this isn't some random community of coders writing an innocent open source software package; this isn't fun and games. Superintelligence is going to be wild; it will be the most powerful weapon mankind has ever built. And for any of us involved, it'll be the most important thing we ever do. * America must lead. The torch of liberty will not survive Xi getting AGI first. (And, realistically, American leadership is the only path to safe AGI, too.) That means we can't simply “pause”; it means we need to rapidly scale up US power production to build the AGI clusters in the US. But it also means amateur startup security delivering the nuclear secrets to the CCP won't cut it anymore, and it means the core AGI infrastructure must be controlled by America, not some dictator in the Middle East. American AI labs must put the national interest first. * We need to not screw it up. Recognizing the power of superintelligence also means recognizing its peril. There are very real safety risks; very real risks this all goes awry—whether it be because mankind uses the destructive power brought forth for our mutual annihilation, or because, yes, the alien species we're summoning is one we cannot yet fully control. These are manageable—but improvising won't cut it. Navigating these perils will require good people bringing a level of seriousness to the table that has not yet been offered. As the acceleration intensifies, I only expect the discourse to get more shrill. But my greatest hope is that there will be those who feel the weight of what is coming, and take it as a solemn call to duty.I persisted in reading it, and I think you should, too—not for the war-mongering element but for the core acceleration thesis.My two cents: Leopold underestimates AI's impact in the long run and overestimates it in the short term, but he is directionally correct.Anthropic released v3.5 of Claude.ai today. It is far faster than the impressive 3.0 version (released a few months ago) and costs a fraction to train and run. it is also more capable. It accepts text and images and has a new feature that allows it to run code, edit documents, and preview designs called ‘Artifacts.'Claude 3.5 Opus is probably not far away.Situational Awareness projects trends like this into the near future, and his views are extrapolated from that perspective.Contrast that paper with “ChatGPT is B******t,” a paper coming out of Glasgow University in the UK. The three authors contest the accusation that ChatGPT hallucinates or lies. They claim that because it is a probabilistic word finder, it spouts b******t. It can be right, and it can be wrong, but it does not know the difference. It's a bullshitter.Hilariously, they define three types of BS:B******t (general)Any utterance produced where a speaker has indifference towards the truth of the utterance.Hard b******tB******t produced with the intention to mislead the audience about the utterer's agenda.Soft b******tB******t produced without the intention to mislead the hearer regarding the utterer's agenda.They then conclude:With this distinction in hand, we're now in a position to consider a worry of the following sort: Is ChatGPT hard b**********g, soft b**********g, or neither? We will argue, first, that ChatGPT, and other LLMs, are clearly soft b**********g. However, the question of whether these chatbots are hard b**********g is a trickier one, and depends on a number of complex questions concerning whether ChatGPT can be ascribed intentions.This is closer to Gary Marcus's point of view in his ‘AGI by 2027?' response to Leopold. It is also below.I think the reality is somewhere between Leopold and Marcus. AI is capable of surprising things, given that it is only a probabilistic word-finder. And its ability to do so is becoming cheaper and faster. The number of times it is useful easily outweighs, for me, the times it is not. Most importantly, AI agents will work together to improve each other and learn faster.However, Gary Marcus is right that reasoning and other essential decision-making characteristics are not logically derived from an LLM approach to knowledge. So, without additional or perhaps different elements, there will be limits to where it can go. Gary probably underestimates what CAN be achieved with LLMs (indeed, who would have thought they could do what they already do). And Leopold probably overestimates the lack of a ceiling in what they will do and how fast that will happen.It will be fascinating to watch. I, for one, have no idea what to expect except the unexpected. OpenAI Founder Illya Sutskever weighed in, too, with a new AI startup called Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI). The most important word here is superintelligence, the same word Leopold used. The next phase is focused on higher-than-human intelligence, which can be reproduced billions of times to create scaled Superintelligence.The Expanding Universe of Generative Models piece below places smart people in the room to discuss these developments.

That seems like the appropriate word if you analyze what happened with OpenAI this week.After being built into every conceivable Microsft interface, Apple announced that it would integrate OpenAI into all of its operating systems across devices via Siri.By locking up Microsoft and Apple, it has effectively locked out Google, at least for now. That will leave Google itself as the only large implementation of its Gemini AI family.This gives Apple a global advantage in the iPhone versus Android battle. Few will prefer Gemini to OpenAI.Beyond that, Apple successfully showed how its own ‘Apple Intelligence' will face inwards to the device, interoperating with all apps and supporting ‘actions' while leaving all user data on the device. And when you need more power than the device can deliver, the new Apple Intelligence Cloud steps up in a fully encrypted secure environment. Even Apple cannot decrypt your data as it has no keys.Ben Thompson from Stratechery sums up Apple's play as follows:This is good news for Apple in two respects. First, with regards to the title of this Article, the fact it is possible to be too early with AI features, as Microsoft seemed to be in this case, implies that not having AI features does not mean you are too late. Yes, AI features could differentiate an existing platform, but they could also diminish it. Second, Apple's orientation towards prioritizing users over developers aligns nicely with its brand promise of privacy and security: Apple would prefer to deliver new features in an integrated fashion as a matter of course; making AI not just compelling but societally acceptable may require exactly that, which means that Apple is arriving on the AI scene just in time.The concept of “just in time” seems appropriate. Although, as a developer possessing all of the beta products, I can say that very few of the features announced are yet available.The contrast with Microsoft couldn't be more extreme. Its Recall product, which took a screen recording every five seconds and stored its findings in clear text on the device, got a backlash from journalists and privacy campaigners. Microsoft has all but canceled the product, and its PR tail is between its legs. Apple's ‘Crush' ad has almost been forgotten.Microsoft could make a mistake here. It is already working on products competing with OpenAI and might be tempted to go alone. What Bing is to Google, Microsoft AI will be to OpenAI. If it does so, it will once again shoot itself in the foot. OpenAI is far ahead in features and capabilities. Google cannot integrate it. Microsoft has gained an advantage from having done so. Apple too. Don't bite the hand that feeds you seems an apt reminder.This week's essays focus a lot on the social impact of innovation and venture capital.Ted Gioia's essay about “Universe 25” focuses on the Durkheim concept of ‘anomie.' It is the idea that our isolation leads to meaninglessness in life.“More than 100 years ago, sociologist Emile Durkheim studied the problem of anomie. That's not a word you hear very often nowadays. But we need to bring it back.Anomie is a sense that life has no purpose or meaning. The people who suffer from it are listless, disconnected, and prone to mental illnesses of various sorts. Durkheim believed, for example, that suicide was frequently caused by anomie.But the most shocking part of Durkheim's analysis was his view that anomie increased when social norms were lessened. You might think that people rejoice when rules and regulations get eliminated. But Durkheim believed the exact opposite.”Gioia examines the aimlessness of a world where people live in social media.The Venture Capital essays are excellent. Sam Altman's ‘Startup Playbook' contains intelligent advice for startup founding teams. And Mario Gabriele's piece about ‘How to Find a Unicorn' has good advice for emerging fund managers. Omri Drory's piece: How VCs Become A******s - is both funny and true. A great read This is a public episode.

A reminder for new readers. That Was The Week includes a collection of my selected readings on critical issues in tech, startups, and venture capital. I selected the articles because they are of interest to me. The selections often include things I entirely disagree with. But they express common opinions, or they provoke me to think. The articles are snippets sized to convey why they are of interest. Click on the headline, contents link, or the ‘More' link at the bottom of each piece to go to the original.

Therefore, I am supporting former President Trump in this coming election.Doug has the right to support Trump. It is also clear that the immigration system is broken, the deficit is ballooning, many things are wrong with foreign policy, and there are “other issues.” Trump as the solution is less obvious. But there it is—hot on the tails of Chamath Palihipitaya and David Sacks announcing a fund-raiser for Trump on the All-In podcast (they said they would do the same for Biden).Reid Hoffman followed up a day later with:On one level, this is a straightforward choice, but any literate attempt to analyze Leone's issues might arrive at the following conclusions:* Like many Western nations, the USA is aging rapidly and has a shrinking working-age population across all skill sets. Immigrants are needed, and pro-immigration leadership is needed, creating a path to entry for large numbers of skilled and unskilled workers to fill empty jobs as we get close to full employment.* The deficit is large, and there are many palliatives available. Selling more to China would help, but both party leaders are protectionist. Taxes to reduce the divide between the 1% and the rest would help a bit. However, what would help the most is economic growth, which requires investment in technology and productivity. Neither leader seems too focused on innovation and investment.* Foreign Policy - well, sheesh, it's a big issue. However, saber-rattling about Taiwan and provoking China seems to be a hobby shared by both parties and does not seem smart. Ukraine and the future of Europe are better in Biden's hands, but not by a lot. Europe looks very shaky. The US is increasingly isolationist. The appetite for world leadership is on the decline. Again, the solution would focus on economic growth, which seems absent.Voting for Trump is a big no-no for me. But voting for Biden is, at best, a lesser evil instinct, not a belief system. The election will not be where the future is built, but it is important. Politicians are collectively disappointing.This week's video of the week from Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz is called “The American Dream” and champions their view about American Dynamism. And I must confess that this comes closer to a vision of the future than either political outfit. Their vision requires political support, massive government financial commitment, and private capital investment. I see no evidence of those happening.The real winning effort seems to be happening on the ground. This week, Nvidia hit $3 trillion, eclipsing Apple as the world's second-most valuable company. This is even though Apple has 7 times the revenue of Nvidia.This week's first essays also focus on prospects for boom time. Rex Woodbury's ‘The Consumer Renaissance' examines the impact of consumer spending on our lives. In ‘The Creator Economy on AI Steroids, ' Nathan Lands focuses on how emerging tools will transform creativity. But in ‘AI Is Transforming the Nature of the Firm, ' Evan Armstrong gets closest to a future vision.”AI is the first universally flexible technology. It can interact with our digital environments in similar ways to humans, so it can have all the flexibility that we do. In that way, it may be the last technology we ever need.This seems to be the crux of hope in a world where dreams and nightmares are strangely devoid of detail. What the world needs (not only America) is hope. And hope is born from optimism. Optimism is born from success. The most likely success of the next decades will result from specific uses of AI that improve human life.I know and like Doug Leone. I know and like Reid Hoffman. Doug's bar for success needs to be higher. Voting for Trump is not right, and even if it were, it would not be sufficient.Reid also needs a higher bar. Voting for Biden will not be sufficient even if it is right.Let's focus on where success can be found, grow optimism, and breed hope. There is a need for a broad technical revolution and the social rebirth it enables. Silicon Valley and its friends globally need to invent the next version of human existence to the benefit of all. The social rebirth requires a conscious effort; technology will not magically bring it about.

The bar for investment appears much higher, and fewer startups are reaching it.This is a problem for founders, and investors like Jenny Fielding, managing partner of Everywhere Ventures, who said, “Every Seed investor's dilemma: All my Series A buddies want to meet my companies early! All my companies are too early for my Series A buddies.”To attach some data to this, we can see that the median step-up in valuation from seed to Series A has gone from $19.5 million in Q1 2022 to $28.7 million in Q1 2024. Series A firms seem to be looking for much stronger revenue performance, with targets of $2 million to $3 million in ARR, compared to $1 million to $2 million just a few years ago.The outcome is that while 31.8% of Q1 2020 seed startups closed their Series A within two years, that fell to just 12% for Q1 2022 — which should worry everyone.Why are Series A investors so much more demanding?Today's Series A investors are looking at startups that raised their seed between 2021 and 2023, which identifies the root of the problem: it spans the Q2 2022 high-tide mark for venture capital.For example, there were 1,695 seed rounds of more than $5 million in 2021, rising to 2,248 in 2022, then falling to 1,521 in 2023. As a comparison, there have been just 137 so far in 2024.The result is two categories of startups that are looking to raise their Series A today:* Pre-crunch startups that raised generous seed rounds and stretched the capital out as far as they could, to grow into inflated valuations.* Post-crunch startups that raised modest seed rounds on more reasonable terms, with shorter runways and less demonstrable growth.Strictly speaking, neither is more appealing than the other; the first group has less risk, the second offers more upside, and both are adapted to current market realities. It shouldn't cause a problem for investors, provided they can distinguish between the two.The cost of market inefficiencyVenture investors have a market-based lens on investment decisions, which means looking fairly broadly at trends in revenue performance and round pricing to determine terms, e.g. a typical Series A is within certain bounds of revenue performance and valuation. While that approach may be serviceable and efficient under ideal conditions, the past few years have been far from ideal.Without distinguishing between the two cohorts, investors are now looking at the performance of Series A candidates that spent more than $5 million on a war chest for two to three years of growth alongside the valuations of candidates that raised around $2 million to prove scalability. It just doesn't work as an average, and thus the unreasonable expectations...MoreThe Consumer RenaissanceFrom Predicting Consumer AI Applications to Analyzing Consumer SpendREX WOODBURY, JUN 05, 2024“Consumer” has become something of a bad word in venture capital circles.We see this reflected in the early-stage markets: recent data from Carta showed that just 7.1% of Seed capital raised last year went to consumer startups. That's less than half the share from 2019 (14.3%).But I think consumer is actually a great place to be building and investing. Whenever something is out of favor, that's a sign it's probably a good place to spend time: this is an industry built on being contrarian, not built on following the herd. We're entering a compelling few years for consumer entrepreneurship.First, I'd argue that consumer is too narrowly defined. When people think consumer, they often think consumer social (a tough category) or consumer brands (a tough fit for venture compared to internet and software businesses, with typically lower return profiles). But consumer is broader. Consumer encompasses businesses that sell to consumers and those that rely on consumer spending. This means the obvious names—apps on our phones like Uber, Instacart, Spotify—and the enablers: Shopify, for instance, powers online retail; Faire powers offline retail; Unity powers game development. Each of the latter three is B2B2C, in its own way, but I would categorize each is also a consumer technology business.The wins in consumer can be massive. The biggest technology businesses in history began as consumer businesses—Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon. The original companies comprising FAANG—with Microsoft conspicuously absent—were allconsumer.And some of the best returns of the last five years have stemmed from consumer tech IPOs. At Daybreak, we invest ~$1M at Pre-Seed and Seed. Here's how much a $1M investment in the Seed round of five recent consumer IPOs would yield:Big consumer wins compare favorably to big enterprise wins—relative to Snowflake's market cap, Uber is ~3x in size, Airbnb is ~2x in size, and DoorDash is roughly equal. (Snowflake is the biggest enterprise IPO of the last decade.) The last few years produced a windfall of consumer outcomes, yet investors today almost write off the category.At Daybreak, we don't focus exclusively on consumer; my view is that you need to balance more binary consumer outcomes with B2B SaaS and B2B marketplaces. But we do approach investing through the lens of the consumer—how people make decisions. The buyers of products like Figma and Ramp, after all, are people, and software companies are increasingly selling bottom-up into organizations. The line between consumer and enterprise has been blurring for years.This week's Digital Native makes the argument that consumer tech is a compelling place to build and invest. We'll look at the data to back up this argument, then delve into three categories of consumer that I'm particularly interested in right now:* Checking in on Consumer Spend* Consumer Tech: The Data Doesn't Lie* What to Watch: AI Applications* What to Watch: Shopping* What to Watch: Consumer Health* Rule of Thumb: Follow the SpendThis week we'll cover #1-3, and next week in Part II we'll tackle #4-6.Let's dive in

You can download the MP3 to see how limited my creative skills are, even when using advanced AI.The lyrics are mine and include the following:[Verse]That Was The Week No time to be Meek The goal is to Seek The Next Big Thing [[Chorus]That Was The Week That Was The Week Stand Back Think Big Dig Deep That Was The WeekI'm starting with this in honor of the essay of the week written by Rohit Krishnan - “Whither Utopia”. Rohit charts the rise of utopian ideas (before that was a pejorative term), and the fall of utopian thinking. Toward the end of the essay he states:Instead of grand narratives the focus became on micro narratives, skepticism of rational progress, and, perhaps consequently, a reliance on technology to be the answer.Micro narratives pervade technology today, while macro narratives are frowned upon or described as dangerous. OpenAI has become a magnet for hostility to big ideas and transformative technologies.Rohit points out that technology may have obviated the need for large social thinking about organizing the world. I think that may be a temporal anomaly. As AI improves productivity and frees humans to have more leisure time (in the negative lexicon, “eats jobs”), the macro narrative around wealth distribution is likely to raise its head loudly.So the theme this week is “Stand Back, Think Big, Dig Deep.”It seems very likely that AI, or at least the LLM version we are experiencing now, will remove hours and hours of monotonous work from many humans each week. It seems very likely that the world will become cleverer as Apple introduces AI to the iPhone in Junes WWDC, and Android follows suit. Billions of us will have a ready-made, multi-skilled assistant. Increasingly, it will be able to carry out tasks and report results. It also seems likely that physical beings running computers with this AI embedded, will be capable of real-world tasks. And it seems likely that we will be able to raise science to a new level, as the Chinese diabetes technology reported below demonstrates. Oh, and the entire world will have access to these new skills and tools. The trend will be towards them being free.We are on the verge of an era of enormous advancement in what we can collectively do.So, this is not a time for fear, complaints, or accusations. it is a time to get stuff done.PWC adopting ChatGPT and Apple reportedly doing so are early signals of a new technical revolution.China's $47 billion semiconductor fund (see below) will undoubtedly be able to leverage AI to make advanced semiconductors faster than we made the first ones.The new world will challenge all of today's institutions and require new social arrangements, both globally and locally, as the earth flattens from an economic and demographic point of view and human demands regarding work are reduced.You can't have rapid technical s***s without equally dramatic social s***s. Rohit's historical survey of utopian thinkers demonstrates that all greatly impacted how societies evolved. This generation needs to ask some big questions, dig deep for answers, and do so from an overview of where we are and where we want to go. This is a public episode.

I was at Internet World launching RealNames to the world. RealNames invented paid clicks on keywords. Our first partner was AltaVista, and Google was our second—calling the feature "I'm Feeling Lucky."It was the simplest technology ever. We had a keyword, bought by a customer. An example might be Disney buying "Bambi." They would buy it in every country and language they wanted and point it to a specific URL in each place. Search engines would look at the keywords you typed in (later browsers too) and if RealNames had it as a paid keyword, they would send the user to the site, with no search results. Just a direct navigation. RealNames got paid for the customer sent.At the launch, we used the example of the keyword “Bambi” to show how superior our keywords were compared to domain names. In those days, Bambi.com pointed to a porn site. Our launch demo showed that typing "Bambi" went to Disney, but typing "Bambi.com" did not. All was well except we altered our network settings the eve of the launch, and when we demoed the use of "Bambi" at the launch, it (you can guess) went to the porn site.Journalists wrote about RealNames as a scam and bad actors.Luckily, we had great partners, and within 12 hours the network issue was fixed, and all was well. But for 24 hours, I felt like the world was collapsing around me. On the one hand, we launched our company, mostly to great acclaim; on the other, we were being destroyed in the tech media.Sam, I know how this week must have felt. Your decision to pull the ‘Sky' voice was right. And despite the horrors of the first 24 hours, this will pass.That said, you mismanaged this entire thing. I'm sure you acted in good faith in wanting to embrace the “Her” meme. It is a good idea. And ‘Sky' was a good effort.It seems clear you had spoken to Scarlett Johansson and failed to reach an agreement. I'm prepared to believe you could not react fast enough to change the voice prior to the demo.But once it went awry, you needed to do more than wait for a legal challenge before pulling it, and you needed to say something before the actress. Not doing so means that many people, probably most, think you did the entire thing on purpose.Clearly, you did not preconceive this. If you did, then the fact that you were happy to pull the voice, and your knowledge that the actress was not prepared to have her voice used, would have stopped you before it got as far as it did. You would be very reckless to have thought you could get away with using a voice like hers without her permission.So, you need to either go on the record and get this behind you or ignore it and hope it goes away. I think now we have ‘ScarJo' as a word, the latter might prove difficult.Best Regards,Keith (A fellow Founder)Beyond ScarJo there are some great essays this week. Pack McCormick writes about why AI will lead to more jobs and bigger companies. In framing his case he says”Technologies are tools. I don't mean that in the normal way that people mean it to say that technology is neither good nor bad.Tools are good.Humans can build better things with tools than they can without them.But tools aren't the point. They're tools.Tools lead to new possibilities and those lead to new endeavors. Read his essay below.And a team made up of @KamalVC, @VaradanMonisha, @Claudiazeisberg have penned an essay called ‘The Pervasive, Head-Scratching, Risk-Exploding Problem With Venture Capital'. The main thesis is about investing in private companies versus public companies. They have a great graphic showing that the range of outcomes in Venture Capital is very wide compared to other asset classes:Venture Capital's top percentiles out-perform other asset classes, but most do not. The safest asset class is global equity (public company stock).Building on this they show that large Venture investors that invest across 500 or more companies can compete with less risky assets by diversification.This depicts a simulation of a manager doing 15 deals, compared to 500 and shows more deals equals less risk.I recommend reading the full piece, linked in the contents above and the headline below. I think they are right, but there is a better way of derisking. The advice they give below is better than traditional venture capital, but that is a low bar:To de-risk venture capital, CIOs simply need to acknowledge that VC math is different from public markets math. The importance of low-probability, excess-return-generating investments means that proper diversification requires a portfolio of at least 500 startups.It will take work to assemble such a portfolio. It is hard to do by investing directly. Current funds and funds-of-funds are rarely designed with diversification in mind. Instead, they concentrate funding in a small subset of ultra-popular entrepreneurs, sectors, and geographies, which risks driving down returns on capital, leaving higher-return strategies underfunded.Investors who allocate and diversify their funds wisely and accept the evidence will not only achieve better and less-volatile returns, but will also ultimately nudge GPs to finally design diversified funds.In my day job - also about de-risking venture - we use AI to reduce risk, removing companies that are highly unlikely to be successful. The remaining companies (about 7% of the full set of venture backed companies) out-perform the market in a narrower band of outcomes:Here is how the SignalRank Index compares to the S&P500 and the NASDAQ. We assume an investor puts $1 into the S&P, the NASDAQ and The SignalRank Index in each year from 2014-2019 and then show the returns from each (average and median in the case of SignalRank).The median outcome from venture investments is that the investor loses money. The average is a lot better. But almost no managers achieve the average. By using AI to reduce risk we get the average outcome in 2014 to be 4.31x the investment (the white numbers), compared to the S&P500 1.39 and the NASDAQ 1.89. SignalRanks Median outcome is 2.24.De-risking venture capital is important and the writers of the essay show that it is possible to de-risk by diversification. But we can do even better by both diversifying and using data intelligence to remove downside outliers.I will leave you with that thought. More next week This is a public episode.

What do you do when you don't have time to think? Comedian Jeff Foxworthy got his big break on The Johnny Carson show; producers told him that he had EXACTLY 6 minutes to perform his set. Not 5 minutes and 50 seconds. Not 6 minutes and five seconds-he had EXACTLY 6 minutes. Foxworthy practiced his set until he had it precisely at 6 minutes, but there was one thing he didn't factor in, the audience's laughter and applause, which derailed his timing. With cameras rolling, Foxworthy had to make an in-the-moment decision on which jokes to keep and which to throw out. Hat Tip to Molly Fletcher's episode with Foxworthy.

Making a living on the Internet is hard enough. But when you finally make something popular (a YouTube video, a TikTok) it's almost certain that someone will steal it and re-upload it somewhere else. It's not always malicious, but it can harm content creators' bottom line. Some platforms have the tools to find pirated content automatically, but it can be difficult to reclaim lost revenue. That's where SuperBam comes in. It's a one-of-a-kind company that helps creators identify stolen or misused content and gain control of its monetization and other intellectual property rights, putting the tools once reserved for record labels and movie studios into the hands of online influencers. Alli and Lindsey speak with Chris Landa, President and Co-Founder of SuperBam, about how the company got started, and how they've reclaimed $10 million in pirated revenue for creators.

Neal Baer - Show Runner, Law and Order SVU, Welcome to Chechnya - Neal Baer is an Executive Producer or "Showrunner" with an incredible pedigree. But, before he dominated the world as a showrunner he was a doctor who earned his medical degree at Harvard; underachiever. As a showrunner, his career started when his childhood friend John Wells, also a hyper-successful showrunner, suggested that Neal join him in working on China Beach. Then it was ER, and then, Law and Order SVU 20+ years later Neal is one of the biggest names in TV. Neal's current show Designated Survivor, starring Keifer Sutherland, has a pandemic storyline. Instead of COVID-19 which comes from animals, this pandemic comes from a CRISPR (CRISPR is a real thing you should read up on what it is and how it can be used) created pathogen that is unleashed on the world.

Enjoy the photo. I spent five bucks on it. You're welcome. First up: A Hat Tip to Jeremiah Coughlin of the podcast Brine Time, a podcast dedicated (but not limited to) the Portland (OR) Pickles baseball team. He wanted to hear about some Foreigner, and coincidentally I just picked up a copy of Agent Provocateur, so we were off to the races. Anyway, Jeremiah and his partner Jake Silberman are a funny couple of guys who know how to convey their fandom in a fresh way. And now I kinda have an idea for another podcast. Aberdeen Ironbirds, are you paying attention? Anyway. I think I'm the one person who didn't hate Agent Provocateur as an album when it first came out in December 1984, because the critics gave it a beatdown. It ultimately yielded four singles, two of which did...okay, and the other two did very well, including this one, which was their only Number One track in the US and the UK, not to mention a bunch of other countries around the world. Not bad for an album everyone hated. But while the work was good, Lou Gramm was itching to work on a solo project, and he used "I Want to Know What Love Is" as one of his reasons for bailing out for awhile, so he could go work on his solo album Ready or Not almost simultaneously with their sixth album, Inside Information. And it seems like both albums suffered as a result. So here's the show, and then go listen to Jeremiah and Jake. And click here for a transcript of this episode.

Today's podcast addresses a place we've all found ourselves in..The Dip...if you're not already in one best believe there's a Dip coming and regardless where you are you need to decide to stick w it or just quit. (Hat Tip to Seth Godin's incredible short read The Dip)
We stayed up all night waiting for an iPhone that (almost) never came. A few days before that, we opined mightily about the smartwatch that's slated to accompany it come early next year – and a day or two before that, we took a quick look at the latest iPhone and Apple Watch competition from the Motorola camp, with the Moto X, Moto G, and Moto 360. It's smartwatch and smartphone soup over here at Pocketnow and, generous guys that we are, we want to share the experience with you.Look how generous that face is. So rather than restoring the podcast to its normal format, as was supposed to happen this week, we're instead rolling special-edition style one more time. We'll kick things off with a device-centric Editorial Roundtable covering the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple iWatch (and the disastrous launch that had some of us staying up till sunrise trying to place our order). Then Stephen Schenck will bring us the news in the unflappable style we've come to know and love, before we take your questions and comments in a Moto-centric Gadgets in Hand. If that's the kind of thing that toggles your Siri, then the Pocketnow Weekly 113 is the show for you! Check out this week's podcast down below, and shoot your questions to podcast [AT] pocketnow [DOT] com for a shot at getting your question read aloud on the air when we return to our normal schedule next week. See you then!Pocketnow Weekly 113 Recording Date September 12, 2014 Hosts Michael Fisher Taylor Martin Stephen Schenck Jaime Rivera Adam Doud Producer Jules Wang Podcast Rundown Sponsor (00:01:35) The Pocketnow Weekly is brought to you by Themer, a product of MyColorScreen.com: the largest community of designers showing off Android homescreen creations complete with custom widgets, backgrounds, icons, and more.
