Contrarian view … Sam has more leveraging power right now than any other person negotiating a CEO package in tech history. Great power, comes with great responsibility. Given he’s been a VC for roughly 2 decades, I’m not sure everyone is ex

But what technically allowed for so much progress? There’s been open source AI/ML for 20+ years. Nothing comes close to the massive milestones over the past year.

What’s the use case? I have mad respect for cosmo & what technically it’s accomplished. But I also haven’t figured out the problem per se it’s solving. I’m genuinely curious to hear how others use cosmo.

The old adage goes: “those who don’t use insurance, pay too much. And those who use insurance, pay too little”. It becomes a math problem for insurance companies to keep that equation positive. And since claims far exceed the premiums any s

Spam The reason why 3rd party native SMS/RCS don’t exist is mobile platform wanting to prevent spam. Imagine a rogue 3rd party SMS app blasting all your friends unauthorized texts, from your device.
