I love Substack. Always have. Their team is great. But a silent change could force me off the platform if it stays. They broke email. My paid subscribers cannot read today's paid newsletter on mobile without downloading the Substack app. @SubstackInc: roll this back. Now.

Engineers have Cursor. Writers have ChatGPT. FINALLY there’s an AI platform for marketers. Introducing Mopac Software.
This doesn't work because a "product launch" isn't what it was 10 years ago anymore Back then you'd launch on Product Hunt and you'd get thousands or tens of thousands of users overnight and journalists would pick it up after A lot has changed since then Firstly, nobody cares anymore, there's too many products and things launching and unless your product is completely groundbreaking and new, a launch won't get much attention anymore Secondly, these days you essentially should be launching every day non-stop: you try get attention from potential new users, posting new features you build based on user requests, tapping into trends you see and then jumping on them You even see it with AI companies now, they just add the new version like Grok 4.1 or ChatGPT 5.1 without a big presentation. Just roll it out and improve the product for users So yes launching is dead I think
I’m starting to get into a habit of reading everything (blogs, articles, book chapters,…) with LLMs. Usually pass 1 is manual, then pass 2 “explain/summarize”, pass 3 Q&A. I usually end up with a better/deeper understanding than if I moved on. Growing to among top use cases. On the flip side, if you’re a writer trying to explain/communicate something, we may increasingly see less of a mindset of “I’m writing this for another human” and more “I’m writing this for an LLM”. Because once an LLM “gets it”, it can then target, personalize and serve the idea to its user.

I scroll social media these days and it genuinely feels SOULLESS. The posts are AI The comments are AI The same writing style, the same format, the same emptiness. Even Instagram Reels and YouTube videos are becoming AI voices reading AI scripts... when AI can generate infinite content at near-zero cost, content stops being scarce. And when something stops being scarce, it stops being valuable. There's one thing AI fundamentally cannot commoditise... the lived HUMAN experience.
Posting on Reddit feels like going to battle I posted some benchmark results last night It was like 50/50 support vs hate I spent a lot of time responding to comments It was stressful, but I would do it again the angry commenters where most helpful Results: - lot's of good feedback. - I now have more direction on bench design. - 70k views & 500 new landing page visits My posts where not intended as promotion, i didn't even mention Sansa (though the image was watermarked). That seemed to both people the most. Not sure how to get around that though. What I would do differently: - Post in a better aligned sub, I posted benchmark results unfavorable to OpenAI in an open ai focused sub

Big news: I've joined @a16z! My focus is on ecosystem growth—building the connective tissue of the firm's network and creating environments where the most ambitious startup founders, operators, and technologists can thrive. This role is a natural culmination of my work over the past 10 years. As a founder, coach, operator, and investor, I’ve long been obsessed with bringing great people together to accelerate each other’s growth. I’ve learned that life isn’t defined by what you do, but by who you get to do it with—and that every great journey accelerates when you’re surrounded by the right people. At a16z, I’m partnering with @eriktorenberg, @david__booth, and the powerhouse New Media team in SF to bring our boldest ambitions and most impactful communities to life. A few weeks ago, we launched the New Media Fellowship which has already received 1000+ applications and will kick off in January with an incredible 8-week program for storytellers, creators, writers, and marketers. This morning, we launched Build—a new dinner series and community for idea-stage founders & operators figuring out their next big thing. http://build.a16z.com And there's so much more to come. Huge thanks to everyone who has supported me in starting this next chapter of my career—I can’t wait to bring you along for the journey.

since a fuck ton of people dm on why lowercase writing & now some complaints on copying… lemme explain the my thesis on lowercase: i have a deep disdain for capital letters because uniform text is cleaner, more elegant.. there is no arbitrary hierarchy, no forced structure disrupting the flow. lowercase removes friction, lets ideas stand on their own. everything exists on the same plane, creating balance, visual harmony, & a kind of effortless cohesion. it also lets your brain process information faster ironically. i’ve been writing this way since middle school, even in professional emails. when i worked in corporate i would send vp’s emails in all lowercase. people lose their minds over it, mistaking it for laziness when it’s actually a deliberate considered choice. ppl’s frustration only proves the point… which is how fragile their attachment to meaningless formality really is. also sama didn’t invent lowercase writing just like he didn’t invent the transformer. lowercase is better.
