My friend. You beast :)
What a day for @chapterone:
1. @warpsciences announcement (AI/robotics to develop medicines faster in US)
2. Warhound just came out (@colossal & @anduriltech powered dogs for military/law enforcement)
3. @goformic raised $50m to scale physical AI across the US
We’re on one.
There's a new version of this post
Crushed it!
So lucky to work with @davidtisch and the rest of the team

The arrogance, monoculture, and smoke/mirrors from founders is getting to a peak point in the cycle
I don't expect you to know everything but equally don't bullshit me
Have ambition, humility, and authenticity. Perhaps most importantly, be intellectually honest
Go @grx_xce & @DesignArena 🚀
Canva’s first-ever image model has debuted at #4 on @DesignArena
This makes @canva the #2 AI image lab in the world, behind only @OpenAI
An incredible achievement from a very hardworking and talented team pushing the boundaries of what design companies accomplish in frontier AI research
Huge congratulations to @MelanieCanva and the rest of the @canva team!

Huge congratulations to @MelanieCanva and the rest of the @canva team!
Canva Craft, the first ever image model by @canva, takes the #4 spot on DesignArena's Image leaderboard. This makes Canva the #2 Image Lab after @OpenAI!
Notably, it wins most often on photorealistic product and object shots, setting up studio-style lighting and detailed material textures on a single hero object. It also ranks #1 on the Portrait and Landscape subcategories.
Congrats to the @canva team on the launch!
We have a solution for you @KeycardAI
The China state-aligned threat actor Storm-0940 used the agentic AI penetration testing framework ARTEX to automate attacks targeting hundreds of organizations globally across a broad range of industries. Microsoft Threat Intelligence assesses that Storm-0940 was responsible for the recently disclosed ConnectWise supply chain compromise of a multitenant application. msft.it/6018aakEE
Our investigation found that Storm-0940's use of ARTEX accelerated the speed of compromised application abuse to authenticate to target environments through applications that had already been granted access, allowing the threat actor to operate without requiring an interactive user sign-in. AI-accelerated follow-on activity included reconnaissance, application credential changes, and attempts to modify privileges that could enable expanded or persistent access.
Read our blog for a detailed analysis and indicators of compromise (IOCs), along with Microsoft Defender detections, protection recommendations, and guidance on investigating service principal sign-ins and unexpected application credential or privilege changes.
every one of these agent attacks rides on long-lived creds and over-permissioned apps... short-lived task-scoped access with instant revoke isn't a nice to have anymore 🔥
exactly why we backed @KeycardAI

We're announcing the public beta of datavendor.ai
We spent the last two years building the best solution for people buying and selling data, whether you're a researcher in a lab or a company trying to sell data.
Data is the fundamental bottleneck for AI progress, and DataVendor will be the infra that solves it.

Go @trajectorylabs 🚀
Replying to @JensenHuang
@JensenHuang at GTC:
"Here's Trajectory and Harvey using Nemotron, post-trained it and created their own frontier-level capability."
"With customization and with partners in the ecosystem that we work with, you could turn these models into the frontier.
And a result, turn your proprietary data into sovereign intelligence"
It's great to be doing work with such amazing companies like @harvey and @nvidia over here at @trajectorylabs!
Wow!!
@trajectorylabs x @nvidia 🚀🚀🚀🚀

Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/som…
You’re a hero to many @altcap 💪🏽
Incredible Elon! This will be the largest philanthropic gift in history! 70 M accounts - every citizen under 18 & every child born forevermore now has a free, lifetime investment acct making them an owner in the upside of America & our greatest companies! 🇺🇸🚀🤍@TrumpAccounts @InvestAmerica24

Awesome words my son I could not have said it better myself ❤️❤️❤️
Kinda of Agree ….
I used to be embarrassed by my upbringing. What happened to my father and stepfather, being raised by a single mother, and the circumstances I came from. Eventually, I realized those experiences were an advantage, not something to be embarrassed by.
Today, I walk into rooms without changing my vernacular, my style, or my story. I have no interest in editing my identity to make other people comfortable.
But I also think we’ve overcorrected in how we romanticize adversity.
There’s nothing inherently less impressive about someone raised by two extraordinary parents, surrounded by opportunity, who never had to experience trauma.
America has an obsession with the rags-to-riches narrative, as though suffering is a prerequisite for exceptionalism. ( @exceptionalvc )
It isn’t.
There are many archetypes of exceptional people. Some are forged through adversity. Others are cultivated through stability, love, and opportunity.
Trauma isn’t a credential. Privilege isn’t a disqualifier.
What matters is what you do with the hand you were dealt.
Ask my mom …. @valbozs2
Pedigree is overrated. Grit isn't.
Bloomberg on who he'd hire: "the person whose father never was there, whose mother was in a drug treatment program. And he had to go and work three shifts at McDonald's to take care of his siblings."
"No matter how bad things are — looks on the bright side, takes the bull by the horns, puts in the sweat capital. That's where the results are."

Very important piece by @ianlivingstone the Founder of @KeycardAI 📝
We've spent a lot of time at @KeycardAI thinking about how authentication and authorization need to evolve as agents take on more work.
API keys and OAuth scopes were never designed to account for tasks, delegation between agents, or agents acting on their own.
I wrote about how we're approaching this and what we think needs to change.
