RT Jaya Gupta AI has given venture capital a new way to repeat an old mistake: kingmaking. The pattern from 2021 is back: a category becomes "obvious," a top-tier firm anoints its winner, and everyone else acts like the decision is final. Sierra for support. Harvey for legal. Applied Compute for RL-as-a-service.

yay an unread tab!

builder vc mentioned 😁Brian Halligan: I see a new partner being announced at a VC fund almost every day. No one asked, but if I were hiring, I’d look for a 5 tool VC: 1. Coder/builder 2. Great taste in people 3. Contrarian 4. Legit operating experience 5. Not an a-hole What’s missing? Link: https://x.com/bhalligan/status/1988965741484470746

this is an interesting experiment I love but it seems like they did little to no onboarding for the ai, where they didn’t even have the ai review the tools data schema and learn from it before trying to use it. but to the point of what they are saying, models alone aren’t enough and need instructions and scaffolding.Surge AI: Everyone's acting like models are ready to replace humans in work settings. We put that to the test by creating an entire company and having 9 models act as a customer service agent handling 150 tickets and requests of increasing complexity. Verdict: without common sense, Link: https://x.com/HelloSurgeAI/status/1988337783677604351

not sure how i feel about ai app builders cloning existing games and just letting users change the name… (maybe this is okay cuz it was a tutorial meant to be cloned/learned from?)Amirul Hamizan: Had a blast building a ✈️ plane game in Anything App Builder - took me under an hour from idea to playable prototype!

if you're already starting to fine-tune open source models for smaller tasks, using something like the @runanywhereai sdk can let you offload some of the inference to user devices, lowering cloud inference costs and latency but there's probably more fun/unique applications i'm not thinking ofYohei: ollama for mobile, picking up attention Link: https://x.com/yoheinakajima/status/1986926502248857943

too many cool people, building too many cool things 😵‍💫

now I really want a good ai first email client with strong CRM integration (that’s not a sales tool)Yohei: this weekend, i vibe coded a prototype email client that i want... - for each email, looks up contacts details + notes in attio, then org details, looks at lists to determine if portfolio, LP, etc. - summarizes this context and creates content relevance score - uses this content Link: https://x.com/yoheinakajima/status/1985422247570653486

tl;dr on my agent thread from this weekend by @grokYohei: random rant on where we are with ai agents: Link: https://x.com/yoheinakajima/status/1985136539651948619

ai can draft legal docs but you still want a lawyer to review it. i’m a fan (and investor) of services like @DocDraftai that combines the best of both into a single elegant service :)Taher Hassonjee: Just noticed the image @yoheinakajima uses for @DocDraftai on his portfolio page. Perfect encapsulation of DocDraft! Link: https://x.com/TaherHassonjee/status/1985376871760965746
