I spent the last 7 days in 4 different states and: - United and Delta both have terrible wifi. - Lots of folks are bragging about *not* using AI. - SF has the best food in the country but I do love the cured meats in NYC.

AI slop has ruined a lot of outreach, so you really can’t use it to write your messages to potential customers. They will simply ignore you. But you can use AI for *everything* else, from research to profiling and network mapping.
Sterling Road@sterlingroadvc2h
AI is changing how founders find & reach customers. Research & preparation are becoming automated. AI can help with: - Lead generation - Customer research - Prospect profiles - Competitive analysis - Warm introduction mapping The goal is better outreach.

The Russia sanctions trump just waved passed overwhelmingly with both parties voting for it.

Agree to disagree but the pardons have to go. At least, they need to be bipartisan approved.

I don’t like what she said, it’s far from ideal. I apologize. You saying she’s as evil as trump is equal to your Kavanaugh arguments about roe, I think you’re way off.

@grok so was my “be serious” remark out of order?

@grok what do you think? It seems like we both have a point. Consequences are obviously a viable legal deterrent but should senators from other parties discourage anyone from joining the current admin?

"As a warning to others" those are your words, she's saying people that participated in crimes - and there's clearly a very long list - should expect to be prosecuted. You don't agree that the former Amb. to Greece should face accountability for the blatant bribes? Be serious.

Trump already promised to pardon everyone in his admin. He's admin is also selling pardons. Not sure the dems are to blame here bud.

This is unacceptable behavior. I have moved my @Starlink subscription to standby mode until this stuff stops. I love the service but I can’t be a part of this.

EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk approached Donald Trump with the idea of slowing down Starlink in Ukraine, The Telegraph can reveal. The billionaire tech entrepreneur approached the US president with the proposal to introduce speed limits on the system, which hampered Ukraine’s drone defences, according to four sources familiar with the discussions. 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2…

Investors: have you ever fought a founder to keep your pro rata? I've seen this play out many times. I'm still waiting to hear from anyone who thought it was worth it.

If you want a tool, I don’t need you to justify why you need it. But I will have high expectations for your output. If you don’t hit the goals, there might be consequences. Listen to the full episode of The Startup Help Desk anywhere you get your podcasts.

AI makes it easier to move quickly, but that does not mean you can trust the output. Deliberately over-invest in testing and QA. Coincidentally, this is also the path to building a fully automated pipeline.
Sterling Road@sterlingroadvcOct 14
Why you need to test & review everything. Founders sometimes assume AI output is correct because it sounds confident. That assumption creates risk. The faster AI becomes, the more important review becomes.

Self-serve will not save you from having to talk to your customers.
Sterling Road@sterlingroadvcOct 13
Founder Tip: Don’t rely on self-serve too early. In the beginning, founders usually benefit from direct conversations with customers to hear about problems, address objections, answer questions, and understand their goals.
