I play with different products every day — some for investment research, some just for fun. Here are my current favorites: Meetings: Google Meet. So much better than Zoom! No software needed and instant boot-up means I’m never late for a call. I also love that it has the time…

“For two decades, no Secretary of Defense even bothered to set foot in Silicon Valley…” In 2015, Ash Carter finally changed that. This was the beginning of a wave that launched a thousand defense startups. In 2016, Raj Shah and Christopher Kirchoff took control of Defense Innovation Unit X (DIUx).…

I was talking with an awesome YC founder yesterday. Right before our call, another investor asked him, “What if ChatGPT does it?” This is the new “What if Google does it?” For most companies, that question is irrelevant. Here’s an example… ChatGPT Stinks at Teaching Portuguese I’m trying to learn…

“During the 2019-23 period, I have used the words ‘mistake’ or ‘error’ 16 times in my letters to you. Many other huge companies have never used either word over that span.” Berkshire Hathaway turned in an incredible 2024, with operating earnings up 27%. But in his annual letter on Saturday,…

I just did a video call with AI. Soon, you’ll be doing it too. I’ve been a big fan of Gemini for a while, paying $20/month for the latest version. So when I heard that you could do a Google Meet with an AI and ask it questions, I had…
