@carnegiemellon alum | @hydeparkvp | building in ai
Starting in August, I’m joining @CapitalOne as an APM working on generative AI for software development. I’ll be sharing what I learn—building with LLMs, real-world challenges, and how AI is changing how we code. If you’re in the space or just getting started, DMs are open.
The launch of grok4 by @xai seems to indicate the technical moat for model development seems to be getting shallower at every new release cycle
Crazy to see which names ended up surviving. Also interesting to see how the companies and their logos have changed.
🧵1/ When people think of @CarnegieMellon, they usually think of AI and robotics. But little do they know it is also home to the world's first entirely student built semiconductor fab, the CMU @TheHackerFab The goal is to not just make chips as a cute student project…but to…
This was Silicon Valley in the ’80s. Hundreds of logos. Most forgotten. A few became legends. AI feels the same right now. The next map is being drawn. Whose name will still be on it in 2045?
Everything moving at light speed with ai
Luca Guadagnino’s ‘ARTIFICIAL’ starring Andrew Garfield, Monica Barbaro and Yura Borisov reportedly begins filming this month. A recounting of the tumultuous period at artificial intelligence company OpenAI in 2023 that saw CEO Sam Altman fired and rehired in a matter of days.
Big Tech used to just own the software. Now they’re owning the stack. • 2021 → $152B • 2025 → $365B That’s not just cloud spend. It’s physical infrastructure. AI isn’t just an application layer anymore. It’s becoming the platform—and they’re building the rails. @coatuemgmt
Crazy that despite how accessible information is in this day and age, and how perfect markets seem, it’s possible for something like this to just slip under the radar for so long. For context ₹36,500 crores is almost $4 Billion
What if I told you that Jane Street made ₹36,500 crores from Indian markets in just 2 years, and ₹4,800 crores of that was allegedly through market manipulation? They turned India's stock market into their personal ATM using a strategy so clever. Here's the complete details 🧵
Too many teams are still treating AI as a feature. But 80% of AI-native companies are already deploying agentic workflows. High-growth teams? 37% of their engineers are focused on AI. If you’re not adapting, you’re already behind. (From @ICONIQCapital 2025 AI Builder’s Playbook)
YC’s call for W25 is live What’s interesting is how programs like @iCladAI are aligning with the kinds of problems YC increasingly talks about: – Intelligent systems infra – Safe deployment – Long-term AI leverage Curious to see this evolving @sama @harjtaggar @darius @garrytan
This is what happened when the Internet started unlocking value. Now look at AI. Same curve. Faster. Backed by real GDP data — and insights from YC AI Startup School (thanks to @sama, @karpathy, @AndrewYNg, @fchollet, @harjtaggar). If you missed the Internet, don’t miss AI. 👇
