There’s an insane amount of alpha in: - People in SF leaving SF to see how people and companies around the world are using AI (hint: most are still using it primarily as search) - People outside SF spending even two weeks in SF to see how people and companies are operating here (hint: many are already living in the future) This may be obvious to some, but the gap right now is staggering. The global diffusion of AI is a massive opportunity.

Taking the kids on a road trip to Seattle next week. Got a startup in Seattle (or Portland, since we are driving from San Jose and back) we should come and see?

I am currently in West Africa teaching university students and faculty about AI and databases. It has already been quite eye-opening for me. AI could not even understand local languages until recently. Some people are worried that they don’t know how to pick projects, majors, and jobs (or advise students) now given how quickly AI is improving. Some thought we have solved these problems in the US and asked for advice. We had to say, we definitely have not solved these problems in the US. My takeaway so far is that while we all may be at different points on the AI adoption curve, we are all similarly lost when it comes to envisioning how, in the long term, to harness AI for education, AI for science and social science, AI for building computer systems, etc.
