Founders, please don’t give up 40% of your cap table at the pre-seed There are other ways to survive while you build momentum / metrics. You are not setting yourself up for success long term. Call a founder friend first who can guide you or email me before you do this! 🙏🏼

In a surprising twist it would seem Bingbot has been made aware of this tweet and is "fixed now" xitter.cf/beyonddigiskies/status…

My new favorite thing - Bing's new ChatGPT bot argues with a user, gaslights them about the current year being 2022, says their phone might have a virus, and says "You have not been a good user" Why? Because the person asked where Avatar 2 is showing nearby

Any chemists care to comment on news coverage of the Vinyl Cloride accident? Does it seem in line with the seeming scope of this release? 🤷‍♀️ I have zero background in this area so I could use some help understanding this. Thanks in advance.

Probably the best video about what happened in Pennsylvania/Ohio and it’s pretty mind blowing. xitter.cf/RaleighFam/status/1622…

Microsoft’s $100M investment in Facebook (at $1B valuation) and $1B investment in OpenAI probably make them the best corporate venture capital firm of all time.

Ukrainian mothers are writing their family contacts on the bodies of their children in case they get killed and the child survives. And Europe is still discussing gas.

Shortly before bringing up MTG, the camera showed a sizeable and raucous crowd. Fuentes praised "our secret sauce...young white men." Fuentes then solicited a round of applause for Russia in its invasion of Ukraine, and the groyper crowd chanted "Putin, Putin."

In Dnipro, #Ukraine, nurses with newborns hid in a bomb shelter. The video shows several nurses holding babies or sitting on beds next to them, holding oxygen tanks in their hands so that the babies from the intensive care unit can breathe.

I've had 3 calls so far today (it's not even 10) about defending against Russian cyber ops I'm tired of having the same call... so... here's what I've told everyone. This is the playbook you need... but it's not going to be what you think it will be. Ready? Lets go! 1

It's absolutely impressive to see Russian astroturfing on scale here on twitter. Every post about the Ukraine has the same counter-arguments and whataboutism. Frequently even the same sentences, only slightly tuned. It's happening in dozens of languages Literally a social DDoS

via 🔒, this is a shocking piece of AI research that furthers the (false) notion that we can or should give AI the responsibility to make ethical judgements. It’s not even a question of this system being bad or unfinished - there’s no possible “working” version of this.

Idk who needs to hear this, but put them on a vesting schedule. Idc if they are a super promising co-founder. Vesting. Schedule. Just talked to a founder who’s ex co-founder worked for 3 months and owns 30% of the company.
