Joe Biden is a leader who acts with the best interests of America in mind. Not seeking re-election is one of the most selfless acts we’ve seen from a politician in modern American history. This is what’s right for our country—and our democratic future.
Kamala Harris is the right person at the right time. Donald Trump and JD Vance are promising an agenda that will wreak havoc on the American people. Harris’s background and leadership growing the economy, fighting for bodily autonomy, and protecting our democracy uniquely position her to push back against Trump’s extremism.
The Democrats are the party of policy, progress, and action. When presented with the choice between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, I believe in the American people to make the right decision for our country. The Biden-Harris administration has put this country on the right track. It’s time for us to unite. I wholeheartedly support Kamala Harris and her candidacy for President of the United States in our fight for democracy in November.

1/ A recent Stanford study led by @erikbryn found that entry-level jobs for 22-25 year-olds in fields most exposed to AI have dropped 16%.
Some reactions to the data, and why I believe we need to design a new on-ramp to work in the AI era:
2/ Any job where you ask a human to act like a robot, a robot will eventually do the job better. Customer service roles (scripted, repetitive) are textbook cases.
And so it’s not surprising to me that these jobs are where we’re seeing some replacement with AI.
3/ The more interesting puzzle is the drop in junior engineering roles. My belief is that all human information work will have a software copilot.
ChatGPT may be the first AI that most of the 8 billion people on our planet use.
Some people don't understand why OpenAI took the risk of deprecating all previous models in favor of GPT-5.
It’s a full-throttle, no-looking-back blitzscale bet. And here’s why it may win:
1/ By opening GPT-5 to everyone immediately, OpenAI locks in massive network effects. New users flock in, existing users upgrade en masse, and ChatGPT’s market pull intensifies. Yes, they’ll spend more to service the use of their most powerful model.
2/ GPT‑5 is priced at $1.25 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens—about half the input cost of GPT‑4o. The upside, though, is that they’ll continue to grow the number of new users integrating ChatGPT into their daily lives.
It's not enough to have a firm grasp of the industry you're building in.
If your product doesn’t speak to core human impulses, it probably won’t scale.
Here's why builders need to have a strong theory of human nature:
Founders start with a good idea or a novel technology, but many haven't articulated how that idea aligns with what it means to be human.
If you're trying to create a mass-market consumer application, you have to ask yourself: "What are the parts of what it is to be human that I am triggering, responding to, surveying, etc?"
Some AI industry leaders are predicting white-collar bloodbaths.
Even the most inspirational advice to new graduates lands like a Band-Aid on a bullet wound.
Some thoughts on new grads, and finding a job in the AI wave:
2/ What you really want is a dynamic career path, not a static one. Would it have made sense to internet-proof one’s career in 1997? Or YouTube-proof it in 2008? When new technology starts cresting, the best move is to surf that wave.
This is where new grads can excel.
3/ College grads (and startups, for that matter) almost always enjoy an advantage over their senior leaders when it comes to adopting new technology.
If you’re a recent graduate, I urge you not to think in terms of AI-proofing your career. Instead, AI-optimize it.
What if, in the future, everything breaks humanity's way?
In my new podcast, Possible, my co-host @ariairene and I talk with some sharp minds to sketch out the brightest future and what it'll take to get there. We also invite another guest, GPT-4, to help us.
Here's a preview:
Here’s a little bit more on why @ariairene and I are so galvanized by Possible, our guests, and what humanity could possibly get right if we leverage technology—and our collective effort—effectively.
We’re honored to launch Possible with comedian, author & former Daily Show host @TrevorNoah. We talk the future of entertainment, but also capitalism, work, identity, misinformation & more. He did, however, only like one of GPT-4’s lightbulb jokes!💡
