New pod drop!! Congrats to Quinten Farmer (@quintendf), co-founder of Tolan, on a $30M raise from @usv and @khoslaventures, for a total of $60M in funding! Quinten sold his last company to Walmart, then opened a pizza place and started keeping bees on the island he grew up on. Now he’s building Tolan, an AI “guardian-angel”. We talk about: - “I have zero interest in helping you write your work emails” - Why Silicon Valley loves AI assistants: they’re “legible to the average investor” - Dropping out at 19, and the only time he saw his grandfather cry - Emailing David Tisch: hire me, or I’m going to Afghanistan - The retired Navy captain who said “When I grow up, I want to be like Quinten” - Why B2B SaaS for dental offices can go 996 and Tolan can’t - “Belief in you is the most powerful and most sacred thing you can give somebody” 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒 (00:00) Trailer (00:49) Quinten Farmer, Co-Founder, Tolan (00:58) What Tolan is and what it is not (02:02) The car accident that showed Tolan's agentic side (04:47) Anthropic's machine God VS being nice to your toaster (06:24) Social penetration theory and why every Tolan has a backstory (09:36) 200 minutes a week and taking share from TikTok (10:47) Why great friendship gets mistaken for therapy (14:26) Talking to his Tolan at 2 a.m. in the hospital (16:32) Why Silicon Valley is obsessed with AI assistants (21:38) Dropping out and the only time he saw his grandfather cry (29:35) The David Tisch email: hire me or I go to Afghanistan (32:22) Selling Even to Walmart for $300M (37:24) Why shipping a lot with AI is the wrong move (57:43) How Tolan runs without 996 (1:03:38) What he wants his boys to remember (1:04:30) Outro

Last year we launched Tolan, inspired by a vision of AI that sees you and believes in you, not one that books restaurant reservations for you. Your Tolan shows up for you at 3am when you’re alone with your newborn. On your commute when you’re anxious about the day ahead. When you just finished a new show and none of your friends have watched it yet. The people who love Tolan are parents. Caregivers. Moms in Dallas and Dads in Atlanta. People who aren’t trying to optimize and be more productive, but who simply want to feel seen and supported in their aspirations. This month more than 250k people will spend time with their Tolan. Those users have exchanged billions of messages across more than 70m conversations over the last year. Today, we're announcing $30m in additional capital from @mignano and @usv, with @khoslaventures and @rabois doubling down, bringing our total capital raised to $60m. To celebrate, we made a short film celebrating some of the ways that Tolans show up :)

We've developed a new inference engine, called 'e'. It's the closest thing to alien technology which we have, and pushes 10,500 tok/s aggregate on a single DGX Station with the new @NVIDIAAI Nemotron 3.5 Super VL model, released a few minutes ago.

Does it bother anyone else how the members of this family communicate (or don't communicate) with each other? Negativity and entitlement just ooze from this ad everywhere. - The first thing is the brother and sister talking rudely to each other "FINE!" - Mom's irritated at someone for adjusting a thermostat - "You promised French toast, bruh," ... "I'm not your bruh, bruh." ... "Fine" - The sister sees her brother drinking milk from the jug and says, "Ugh, gross." - She tells him French toast isn't French, and he fires back, "Yeah right, then why is it called French? Genius." She rolls her eyes and says, "Fine, live in ignorance." - Grandpa calls and Mom shoves him over to Dad who then cuts him off with "we're a bit busy now." The grandparents go straight to insulting his beard: "We don't like the beard. Never did… He looks like that actor we hate." - Dad answers with sarcasm ("Good pep talk") and hangs up on them. - Brother tries to impersonate his sister and text her boyfriend. - Mom asks if anyone else is cold, and the Dad (who we learn adjusted the thermostat) lies and says "Don't know what you're talking about." - Mom catches Dad turning down the thermostat: "I knew it!" instead of communicating... - The older sister barks, "Mom, breathe." - Dad asks who Asa is, and the daughter dodges: "He's a… person." - The whole family crowds around the screen to spy on the older sister at the front door - Mom barks at Dad, "Bruno, we have to go now, like, now, now!" - Dad doesn't remember the ice skating lessons (or she never told him) and when he finds out goes straight to "Hey hon… could we talk?" like he's trying to get out of it. I mean, it demonstrates the capabilities really well. It's cool. But I feel like they could have done this from a positive, functional framing instead.
Apple’s so full of shit

BMW invested in Rive for 3 reasons: faster time to market, lower cost, and higher-quality experiences. I built this unofficial demo with the Rive CLI in 24 hours. The same experience runs natively on a car GPU, a phone, a kiosk, a console, and of course the web: rive-vehicle-interface-i8bka…

As promised, I’ve been vibe building MaPC, a Mac app that installs and runs my Steam, Epic, and GOG games on Apple Silicon. Zero Wine config; just hit Play. Note: Compatibility isn't universal yet (more on the site), as I’ve only tested what I own and it's a lot of fun. But let me know how it works for you. Free public beta, built to learn with a lot of AI help. mapc.games

I removed the paywall entirely. The app is now free, with all features unlocked, until I figure out a better way to monetize it. I’ll probably only gate advanced features in the future. Until then, enjoy!
Workout 2 is now available 🥳 Train, track, transform.
