Since Trump was elected:

Mark Zuckerberg got $25 billion richer
Jeff Bezos got $36 billion richer
Larry Ellison got $78 billion richer
Elon Musk got $187 billion richer

Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, food & housing costs soar and AI is killing jobs.

AI is not eating SaaS

I've built lots of internal software tools over the past 14 years long before vibe coding was a thing

Here's the reality:

They're a mess
Stuff has broken - external APIs, packages
They badly need updated
They look dated and are painful to use

But I don't…

My biggest learnings from Jeanne DeWitt Grosser (ex-Chief Business Officer at @Stripe, now @Vercel COO):

1. What failed seven years ago now works with AI. In 2017, Jeanne tried to build a system at Stripe that would automatically personalize outbound emails based on company…

Let me blow your mind on David Sacks’ accomplishments for a minute, because many (the NYT in particular) are not appreciating just how impactful, transformative and impartial he has been as the AI and Crypto Czar of the United States...

Simply put, David Sacks is a force… pic.twitter.com/iSCBWTwxJ5

SF is such a hype-driven city.

When I arrived in 2022, everyone was still building in Web 3.0/Crypto.

ChatGPT launched.

Within 2 weeks, everyone climbed aboard the AI hype train. All the crypto events turned into AI. The VCs started preaching a different story.

Then, in 18-24… https://t.co/pMaZoY8RrN

Garry is right.

Most of the Indian tech ecosystem exists to collect breadcrumbs left over by US tech, but our hubris is like we are the main character. It hurts but it's the truth. Zoho can survive in that small ecochamber, but it will never be the main character, never has… https://t.co/YzqQWDloMy

I can only wonder what the intention behind such tweets is, especially coming from high authority people like Garry.

Because here's the fundamental thing, which someone like Garry isn't stupid not to understand.
If everyone can do it, no one will do it. People would want to… https://t.co/Yl7VsOo63h

A 17-year-old just built a mind-controlled prosthetic arm for $300.

Yes, $300.

For something that usually costs $450,000.

Let that hit you.

For almost three years, I wrote online almost every day about Africa tech, startups, and early-stage investing.
It became a kind of discipline I didn’t plan for but grew to rely on. It opened doors, created surprising connections and sharpened how I think.

But this year?

I worry that nearly all startups and software/design companies will get wiped out by AI that can simply clone their product -- it's difficult to maintain high margins or ACV when faced with infinite competition

How will your startup survive? Is it even possible? https://t.co/A4q4503bD7
