Excited to be at the Toronto International Film Festival for the premier of DALI LAND, directed by Mary Harron and starring Oscar-winning actor Ben Kingsley as the surrealist painter Salvador Dali. We produced along with Pressman Film. #TIFF22
Thanks to @OpenAI @sama @stregishotels for helping us create this exhibition for the film at @StRegisToronto. It’s an art studio where visitors can use GPT-3 to create their own art in the style of Dali.
"Dalíland is exactly the kind of awards bait that one would expect to pop up at fall film festivals, and a very good entry at that. It’s based on historical facts & real-life characters, yet feels timeless & allegorical. It’s indisputably Harron’s best."

‘Dalíland’ Review: Ben Kingsley and Ezra Miller Get Surreal in Mary Harron’s Eye-Opening Art-World Portrait

Fantastic and insightful review from Variety:

“The latest of the the director's splendidly offbeat biopics captures the madness, the comedy and the tragedy of the surrealist legend who turned his very identity into a work of art.”

Startups: Instead of thinking about whether you are “default alive” vs “default dead”, think about whether you are “default investable” vs “default uninvestable.” 🧵
“Default alive” is almost an impossible standard for early-stage startups since it means being cashflow positive.

On the other hand, “default investable” means that your metrics are good enough to raise another round in the current environment.
You’ve got to be realistic about whether you are investable. It takes mostly “great” metrics, maybe one or two “good” ones, and no disqualifiers (“danger zone”). We’ve tried to be precise about what this means for SaaS startups.

Startups with high growth & moderate burn will get funded through the downturn.

Startups with moderate growth & high burn will not get funded through the downturn.
This may come as quite a shock to founders in the second category. They may think that if their growth is a little too slow or their burn is a little too high that they will still get some funding (just not as much) at some valuation (just not as high).
Actually, these companies will not get funded AT ALL. The funding environment polarizes in a downturn. So these companies will rapidly burn money until they hit a wall and die.

Once again, @mcfaul is screaming in all-caps that NATO expansion has “NOTHING” to do with Ukraine. Methinks the professor doth protest too much. My response below. 🧵
All one has to do is look at contemporaneous press accounts to see the absurdity of his view. These reports did not exactly bury the lede.
There are many of these. We can debate what they mean, but clearly, NATO membership for Ukraine had “something” (not “nothing”) to do with the crisis.

I know this war is an Extremely Simple Battle between Good and Evil. There’s just the pesky problem of those neo-Nazis flocking from all over Europe. They’re on the Evil side, right? Right?

Extraordinary reporting by the @washingtonpost. 🧵
Assuming the article is correct, US officials are receiving mixed signals from Zelinsky about whether he wants a peace deal and on what terms. Image
According to the article, Zelensky may have domestic political reasons to exaggerate the progress of the peace talks. Image
