THE MACHINE THAT BUILDS THE MACHINE
Today we are excited to announce the latest updates from Factory and the next steps in our mission to Bring Autonomy to Software Engineering.
Droids are autonomous systems that solve problems for engineers. Not just in demos. Not just in
Dropping out of my PhD to start Factory with Eno was the best decision I’ve ever made.
We dream of a world where software engineering itself is an accessible, scalable commodity. If you’re as excited about this future as we are — and ready to work relentlessly to get there —

AI IN THE INVESTMENT PROCESS
At Fundamental Edge, we have been working to get smart on AI:
As part of this process, we have been speaking to a number of vendors in the AI space. From a learning perspective, there is nothing like speaking to vendors who
I couldn’t be more proud of what our team has accomplished since our last raise in February. We’ve deployed to tens of thousands of bankers & investors globally, grown revenue 10x, and doubled our team size. Every day we hear from clients how impactful Rogo has been on their work

These 10 can be produced, written, directed or otherwise approved by him

Of people who've contributed to the

what % did it primarily because:
1. it's a funny meme
2. it's a way to bring broader awareness to web3
3. they care deeply about the constitution & want to own a piece
4. they think it'll rise in value (is that how it works?)

Fantastic article on why text-to-SQL isn't the panacea analytics solution many believe it is...
In short – it can be imprecise, lacks auditability and editability, and is difficult to trust for non-technical users...
Thank you

scale from <100 to 1000s of customers over the last 2 years.
Given our recent Series C, I wanted to share share some of the lessons we discovered along the way 🧵
If you’re a tech billionaire and want to buy a media company, why wouldn’t you just set up a large endowment / follow the university model? Write off the charitable giving and create a truly independent media org
As a gen-Zer who's only seen a doddering Biden, it's eye-opening reading Richard Cramer's description in "WHAT IT TAKES"...
"Joey was always quick, with a grace born of cocky self-possession.... Once Joey set his mind, it was like he didn't think at all–he just did...." (1/2)
Have seen him 3x at

@AcquiredFM
Then think you'd love INVERTED WORLD. Mind-bending, page-turning sci-fi classic from the 70s. Opening line: "I had reached the age of six hundred and fifty miles."
"Joe was kind of skinny and he stuttered, and the kids called him Bye-Bye, for the way he sounded when he tried to say his name. But Joey would never back down, and he knew how to box, when no one else did." (3/3)
CDC says 3 shots significantly increases efficacy against
#Omicron
compared to 2. Any idea how much of that is bc of the recency of booster shots vs. the larger total quantum of vaccine?

@edels0n
(3) One of the hardest tasks of charity orgs is scaling and keeping $ effective. Have to imagine a DAO starts from square 1 on this problem relative to any existing org. Plus given the necessity of creating governmental structure initially, likely the DAO handicaps itself early.
Not directly related, but have to imagine that using DAOs for anything charitable would rank at the literal very bottom of any effective altruists' list of charities
@edels0n
@MorganBarrettX
We’re trying to reinvent the way folks interact with data—e.g, text to sql but actually good (auditable, editable, guiding you to the right questions, helping you interpret results, etc)
@ljin18
@edels0n
On (1) - there's no evidence. Admit this is a bit gatekeeping since DAOs haven't been used this way before. So will allow DAOs to have the benefit of the doubt on this one.
@ljin18
@edels0n
(2) Even w/ most generous DAO assumptions - that all participants are experienced philanthropists w/ a knack for effective giving & DAO has representative structure - the cost-effectiveness starts playing catch up given crypto infra fees and lack of proven leadership structures
@ljin18
@edels0n
And even these criteria completely aside, have to imagine the absolute headache of figuring out tax write-offs in the DAO context for charity. Less giving bc less incentives.
@ljin18
@edels0n
@ljin18
Am ttlly open to the idea that DAOs may be the better option in the future. But an effective altruist would say: is the tradeoff in efficacy now worth the gains in transparency we might see longer-term? They think in lives saved not lofty world visions.

@FundamentEdge
trains buy side analysts for a living. I don't think anyone sees that much value in this basic stuff. He hosted a good round table here that dives into where GenAI can actually provide value here:
"That's why you didn't want to fight him. Most guys who got into a fight, they'd square off, there'd be a minute or so of circling around, while they jockeyed for position. Joey didn't do that. He decided to fight... BANGO–he'd punch the guy in the face..." (2/3)
@elonmusk
Why based on safety score? As a “reward” for good driving or because you anticipate higher scored drivers using FSD more responsibly / sparingly?
