This is an excellent article from @bhorowitz with the compelling story of “Big Data” and the future of AI. I also just posted an article on my history with Big Data and Databricks design patterns and why you should take a hard look at DBX for your data and AI platform: datamind.technology/stories/…
Just got a new Databricks Academy credential via @Accredible for credentials.databricks.com/d…
When software was expensive - thin, horizontal, best-of-breed software stacks extracted rents across every business.
Now that software is cheap - value moves to vertically integrated businesses that deliver opinionated end-to-end experiences.
Sam Bankman-Fried is the greatest investor of all time
Cursor just got bought by SpaceX today. SBF invested $200k into Cursor in 2022
He also invested in:
2021- Anthropic: $500M → ~$75B
2022- Robinhood: $648M → ~$5B
2022- Genesis Digital: ~$1.15B → ~$3B
2022- SpaceX exposure: ~$100M → ~$10B
That means if he weren't in jail today and still owned all this equity, he'd be worth ~$100 billion
But because he got a greedy and put customer funds into crypto, he had to divest from all those positions at cost
He'd be top 20 richest people in the world. Now he's just trying not to drop the bar of soap
We’re excited to announce our $125M funding at a $1B valuation, led by @MeritechCapital and @generalcatalyst, with continued support from our Series A lead investors @AmplifyCapital and @kleinerperkins
We're proud to be serving the services economy. These operators run hard businesses on tight margins, and they deserve software that moves at their speed.

We're on track to book a billion dollars in jobs for top services businesses like:
- Turnpoint
- Sila Services
- 1-800-GOT-JUNK

As I tell my teenagers, as if they listen, many of the jobs of the last 20 years won’t exist in 5, and the new jobs don’t have titles or even college majors, yet. If you are in the thick of using AI as we are you can see the future emerging faster than the last two major cycles. I was among the first 20 people with the “Data Scientist” job title at Microsoft, 12 years ago, and that job also won’t exist (and it is completely different than it was when it was “sexy”). No doom-pilling and you can ride the wave - a little scary at first but it will be an incredible future if good people take the lead!
Here we go!
