I’ve been saying this
in the coming years were all gonna be looking at kalshi and polymarket the same way we looked at juul and the people involved will be rushing to hide their involvement in the company

“prediction markets are ruining lives” is still outside the silicon valley overton window
Unknowingly wore my Kalshi hoodie to the gym this morning and an older black gentleman compared the damage Kalshi is doing to young black men to the KKK and so I think I might have to keep this one in my closet going forward because I don’t need to have that convo again

What if it all goes right?

Caught between rock and a hard place. Either personal assistants don’t take off — or these players’ business model will change. I’m excited to use these assistants myself but still not sure if we hit 1B WAUs with Muse?

$AMZN vs. $SHOP is going to be really interesting
We are excited to announce we are partnering deeply with Muse to enable agentic checkout with Shop Pay on all Shopify stores, offering people an easy and delightful way to shop and check out with Muse.

When everyone has their own little Clawdbot running on a box in a data center in rural Wyoming it will be clear we simply do not have enough GPUs

LSVP keeps on catching strays
if you're an investor and suggest raising prices, you will have a VERY BAD time

One thing to respect about LSVP is that they have this mentality of "What if everything goes right?" Very much like Thrive but they get more hate because they're louder about it on X
Let me guess... LSVP leading?

Instinct looking to raise $1B, potentially at a $10B valuation. Compute costs are high and Noah doesn’t want to charge users for the product. Instinct has raised $350M to date, mostly uses open source models and wants to own chips and data centers theinformation.com/articles/…

There's 10 YC founders pitching Instinct for India but don't realize the inference costs are likely more expensive rn than the labor costs..............

Kalshi and Polymarket VCs enabling crippling gambling addictions under the guise of democratizing access to prediction markets
Replying to @TheGoblinnn
Gambling is a plague on society. Worse than any drug imo, it is the addiction with the highest suicide rate. 20% of gambling addicts attempt to kill themselves. We put odds on everything, you can bet on the weather and the color of Trump's tie. How can an addict escape it? We're doomed man

Hebbia hired 100 people since January and probably 7 are still there Probably one of the worst startup cultures I’ve heard about
Weeks after launching Max, we’re growing faster than at any point in our history. In the last quarter: • DAUs have 3Xed… • Total LLM usage has 5Xed, across both frontier, and our own post trained models… • 40%+ of monthly active users use Hebbia on an average day, and 70%+ use it in a given week, with many of our customers still onboarding to the latest product. The business has never been stronger: • We beat 7 competitors to win the largest RFP in investment banking, and closed 10 banks shortly thereafter expanding our TAM well beyond our core investor business. • We hired 100 people since January, doubling our headcount across London, SF, and NYC. • We launched a new SKU that closed several of the biggest contracts in company history within *weeks* of first customer conversations. • The majority of our Series B raise remains untouched. We remain remarkably capital efficient. There’s a lot of noise in the market. This is a very dynamic market that changes rapidly, and we’ve never been more bullish on our market adoption, product leadership and ability to execute moving forward. And of course, we’re hiring. careers.hebbia.ai Come build the future of finance.
