  15. Россия — третий полюс мирового AI. Агентов запускаем на Raspberry Pi

    a16z включил Россию в тройку AI-держав - наряду с Западом и Китаем. Яндекс Браузер в топ-10 мировых AI-приложений. GigaChat дебютировал в глобальном рейтинге. А потом смотришь на цифры изнутри - и видишь 48-е место, GPU-голод и агентов на Raspberry Pi.

  16. "Marc Andreessen, a philosophical zombie, can be easily replaced with #AI. I bet that’s great news for #a16z’s investors, since it means Andreessen no longer must be paid — and it frees him up to be the subject of some philosophy experiments."

    Yeah, I've suspected this about the ultra-rich for some time now. Great article!

    Marc #Andreessen is a philosophical zombie

  17. I would like to replace the front door - hopefully it's a revolving door, so the aesthetics don't change so much - of the YCombinator offices with an enormous 10-stacked-blades MixMaster.

    It seems that the complete corruption of my industry might have been prevented if I'd done this years ago, and anyone trying to go in or out of that place is not going to be a loss to society anyways.

    If I like the results, we can start on the others.

  22. "The firm’s ascent in Washington has been fueled by massive influence spending, co-founder Marc Andreessen’s close ties to Trump, and a network of former firm partners working in key administration positions. It’s also benefited from savvy casting of its portfolio of insurgent startups as exemplars of the kind of free-market innovation celebrated by Republican Washington’s reigning conservative ideology.

    Andreessen Horowitz’s bold, maximalist approach and deregulatory zeal have buttressed the administration’s view that most government-imposed guardrails on AI endanger US competitiveness in a fast-developing technology that has helped power the country’s recent economic growth. It has been a key driver of the Trump White House’s moves to thwart state governments’ efforts to regulate AI.

    White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement that Trump and his advisers are “always willing to hear out business and technology leaders” but “the only special interest guiding the Administration’s decision-making is the best interest of the American people and the only person with veto power over the Administration’s policy-making is President Trump.”

    McCune said in a statement Trump is the "only person setting AI policy for this administration."

    As of January, a16z had $90 billion in assets under management, making it the richest venture capital firm in Silicon Valley. The firm recently raised $15 billion, its largest haul ever, and has dedicated billions to AI upstarts including coding startup Cursor and AI leaderboard platform LM Arena. They all stand to benefit from the kind of minimal regulatory policies the firm is pressing in Washington, as would stakes a16z holds in larger companies such as OpenAI and Meta Platforms Inc."

  23. #AndreessenHorowitz’s Rising Influence Over Trump-Era #AI Policy
    #SiliconValley’s richest #venturecapital firm emerges as a “lobbying juggernaut” for minimal AI regulation.
    Sounding board is firm’s chief #lobbyist, #CollinMcCune. The firm, colloquially known by the shorthand #a16z for the 16 letters between the A and Z in its name, arguably has veto power over any AI-related proposals, according to one former #WhiteHouse official.

  24. It’s real hard not being dubious of a (supposedly) privacy focused telecom company whose CEO came from #Palantir and has #a16z as an investor. Lots a lot of incentives in the wrong place.

    As far as I can tell there are no 3rd party audits of their claims.

  27. 🚀 Oh, look! #A16Z has blessed us with their sacred “infra” #reading #list, where #science #fiction is apparently the holy grail of #infrastructure wisdom. Because nothing screams cutting-edge technology like reading about sandworms and space wizards. 🏗️📚 Just remember, your infrastructure won't be complete without a few dragons and galactic empires, right? 🤖✨
