I don't think people quite appreciate how much effort, energy & $$$ goes into data labelling for AI companies. Very bullish on any company that is solving problems in that area. @scale_AI prices are sky-high, there's so much room for competition.

The more time you spend in startups, the more stories like Parkers you hear. Most don't get told & if you dig deep enough, most major funds have a story like this behind them. Props to @parkerconrad for fighting through this & @ycombinator for having his back.

This interview will spread quietly from founder to founder. It's striking that without Parker Conrad's success with Rippling and Jessica & Carolyn's lack of deference to powerful people he would have struggled to tell his side of the story:

In a couple of years, you'll have multiple powerful AI assistants that help you in your work and personal life. You'll converse in natural language and they'll execute impressively complex tasks on your behalf. Computing is about to get far more *human* very quickly.
