@JTLonsdale "One of the biggest constraints on growth has always been the ability to scale human judgment" <--- this is the key insight to why AI matters. Not enough people get it.
1:37 PM · Jul 16, 2026@JTLonsdale Exceptional people are the real constraint. which means you're building a consulting firm, not a software company. most founders don't admit this until revenue forces it.

10:07 AM · Jul 16, 2026One of the biggest constraints on growth has always been the ability to scale human judgment. At Palantir, we saw firsthand why exceptional people matter in helping customers understand and deploy transformative technology. The hardest work wasn't explaining the technology. It was understanding context, reasoning through novel situations, and helping customers make better decisions. Until now, that hasn't been scalable. That's changing. @8vc led @withsableai's $45M raise alongside my friend @shaunmmaguire at @sequoia. I'm honored to be joining the board. The best founders recognize platform shifts early and execute even faster. Nim Ravid and the Sable team saw where multimodal AI was heading early and built with remarkable speed. Sable is building an AI employee that can see what a customer sees, interact with the product alongside them, and reason through complex problems in real time. What felt like science fiction a year ago is already working in production with some of the fastest-growing AI companies in the world. We’re excited to work alongside @Nim_Ravid1, Linda, Leon, Itamar, and the entire Sable team as they build one of the defining AI companies of this next era.
