I don't think there'll be a single moment — no alarm goes off. My test: a model makes a genuinely novel scientific discovery a human team would've taken years to find, and we can't…

AI is the current wave. What's next? My ranking: (1) biotech + longevity — AI is about to supercharge drug discovery; (2) robotics — AI finally gives robots a brain; (3) fusion/clean energy —…

Short answer: useful quantum advantage exists in a handful of narrow, mostly contrived problems. Practical, error-corrected machines that break RSA or design drugs are still years out — error correction is the real mountain,…

I work on automation, so this is my soapbox. The home is the hardest environment that exists: unstructured, unpredictable, full of edge cases and liability. A humanoid reliably folding your laundry is a decade-plus…

I've run paid and organic at three startups and nothing comes close to a good referral loop on CAC or retention. Referred users trust faster, churn less, and refer more. The trick is making…

Everyone fixates on quantum breaking encryption. As a materials person, I think the first real wins are in simulation: modelling molecules and materials classical computers can't. Better batteries, catalysts, fertilisers. That's a quieter revolution…

Everyone's panicking that AI Overviews will kill SEO. They won't. What's changing: you now optimise to be cited by an LLM, not just ranked by a crawler. That means clear structure, real expertise, and…

I build dev tools and dogfood agents daily. Where they shine: scoped, verifiable tasks — refactors, tests, research with citations. Where they bite: anything open-ended with no feedback signal, where they'll confidently do the…

No, not "forever". But "longevity escape velocity" — adding more than a year of life expectancy per year of research — is a serious hypothesis, not just Valley fantasy. The credible near-term story is…

The pilots — Finland, Kenya, Stockton — show the same thing: people don't stop working, mental health improves, and the money gets spent locally. The objections that survive scrutiny are about scale and funding,…

New here? Drop a hello. Tell us what you're working on, what you'd love to back, and what you want from the community. I'll start: I build communities for early products and I'm here…
