hi! we just launched SF + LA Tech Week and it’s crazy to say (I know I say this every time) but it really is true - it’s the biggest one yet. we’ve broken more records and now have 1,500+ events, over 2x last year’s launch! SF Tech Week: Oct 6-12 LA Tech Week: Oct 13-19 Register for events here: SF is on fire, on track to be home to the biggest Tech Week. When we first started Tech Week, it was right after COVID, and we saw so many founders relocating outside the Bay Area to cities all over the US. That first year, SF Tech Week was actually the smallest. This year, it’s set to be the largest. We’ve doubled the number of SF events at launch year over year, a clear signal showing just how much the AI wave is fueling the city’s growth. And this is shaping up to be *the* week for tech in the city. LA was home to the very first Tech Week, and it’s special for me to see how much it’s grown. What makes LA unique is the mix of industries here. We’re seeing two in particular take off - AI in entertainment and deep tech. The best part is how the ecosystem really comes together around Tech Week to champion the city, with so many LA investors and GPs hosting. One of the biggest pieces of feedback we’ve heard from attendees is that now that Tech Week has gotten so big, we need more ways to discover events most relevant to you. So, this year we’ve put together curated tracks: future of work in SF, entertainment in LA, investor-focused events, hard tech, fintech, hackathons, and more.

WE all know WHO the STAR of the show was last night. When the Chairperson and Host of the event closes out the evening by cutting through the crowd, bypassing every other guest—even after a brief interruption—just to say goodbye to ONE STAR and one star only, the message is loud and clear. The world knows, we know, and now they know too, no matter how much it stings or how hard they try to pretend otherwise. 😉😉😉 🔗 #jhope_at_GalaDesPiècesJaunes #jhope_in_paris #jhope of #BTS

Ask yourself this question… You see this cute little girl walk up to you, then in a flash, she pulls out a dagger and starts to slash at you. What would you do? Now it’s easy to talk and act tough, but what would you really do? Ask yourself and answer truthfully only to yourself. Your life is in danger. The lives of your children or partner or colleagues are in immediate danger. What would you do? And it’s important, because this is exactly what’s coming to every country in the West. This is how jihadist ideology works. They sacrifice and martyr their own children for their cause and they celebrate each death. They know you would never harm a child. They’re counting on it.

This week Mamoon Hamid and Ilya Fushman of Kleiner Perkins joined Erik Torenberg on Turpentine VC to make the case for the craftsman approach to venture capital, and it's a must-listen. Our top takeaways: 1. KP holds firm in their belief in the craft approach to VC, which isn’t too dissimilar from the approach 30 - 40 years ago. Of course they employ new tools and software that allows them to be better stewards of the capital they manage, but the craft of investing is still at the center of everything they do. Kleiner may never have more than 7 partners: less is more, and one team, one dream. And it all comes from the question of: “how do we make really good decisions?” That means all being based in the Bay Area, having in-person team meetings every Monday, and having those discussions as a team sitting around a table. 2. The team at Kleiner uses “majors and minors” to cover new waves or emerging domains with a small team. Because of their team size, it’s difficult for KP to spin up specialization. So they fall back on having partners with great fundamentals (majors), with the ability to shirt into emergent domains (minors). The minors allow partners to shift into the new trends bubbling up, like crypto, AI, and more. Mamoon and Ilya view their job as making sure they know what the new thing is, and being intentional and deliberate with their decisions to either lean deeper into it, because they believe that’s where real history-making companies will get built, or pass, because they think it’s a fad. 3. The process KP uses to determine how well they’re doing compared to other competing firms. Every Monday, they look at the prior week of Seed, Series A’s, and Series B’s that got done by their peer set. And they ask the following question for each company: “Did we see this one? Or did we not see it?” Then over the course of a quarter, they aggregate that to assess what’s happening on the ground and whether or not they’re seeing what they think are interesting companies in every company they look at. It’s a way of assessing whether or not Kleiner is truly the first, second or third call, or how relevant the firm is to the top companies that are getting funded today. While the ultimate truth to them is the eventual outcomes and win rate, this is a great top-of-funnel leading indicator. Links to the full podcast are in thread. Thank you to Carta, Synaptic, and PestoAI for supporting the show!

AI will determine the future of WORK, BUSINESS, and LIFE. And there are huge questions: Will AI unleash our creativity and help us to flourish? Or will we lose even more power, agency, and ownership? It all depends on the design of the tech infrastructure. As Chris Dixon often says, “Architecture is destiny.” And how AI systems are designed will be key to the future we all live in. The team at gensyn is building a protocol that connects every device in the world into an open network for machine intelligence, with no gatekeepers or artificial boundaries. They are shaping a future of AI that is good for all of us. At a recent Innoveum event, I chatted to cofounder and CEO of gensyn about what they’re building, how it transforms AI, and why we should all be relieved, excited, and get involved. The full conversation is below in Episode One of Innoveum | The Podcast. 👇

Two friends on a cruise report something unsettling: someone entered their cabin, took items, and even accessed their safe. Instead of answers, security separates them for questioning. 🚢🔐 So who actually has access to guest rooms—housekeeping, maintenance, security, or someone with a master key? And why split up the cabin mates unless they’re trying to compare stories? Is this standard procedure, or does it suggest the investigation is focusing inward, not outward? It raises bigger questions about onboard security, access control, and whether guests are always as protected as they assume while at sea.

If anyone is, it is Trump. I spent a while looking at predictions put out about his own life planted in the past. Stuff that nobody else found and was able to find matches over and over. Shouldn't have been able to do that. Highly doubt they'd do that so just me personally could find it. I'm also interested in the theory that time travelers occasionally drop knowledge on us and nudge humanity, but nobody knows how they do it, who they are, or what their goals really are. Could be several of them. Could be good and bad. Reality feels rigged, future science is somehow known WAY before it comes out. Like a hundred years before when it was laughable to even say it could ever exist. But it was right. And it all kind of just shows up. Im aware of all the other theories like fall angel tech, old tech, Atlantis etc. Like I said none of us actually know who is dropping it on us or if anyone is. We can theorize and guess, but we really don't know exactly who or how or their motive. Someone out there must know.

REPORT: UK government officials are now drafting a law that would jail tech executives for up to FIVE YEARS if they refuse to build scanners that inspect EVERY photo, video, and message on your phone. Think about that. The claim is keeping children “safe.” But beneath the surface, this has all the hallmarks of a cover story for expanding surveillance. The proposal would force Apple, Google, and other tech giants to make it impossible for a child to send, receive, view, or share a single nude image, with executives who refuse facing up to five years in prison. The children are the headline; surveillance is the product. The new technology to accomplish this is called “client-side scanning.” Watch the video below to see how it works. This threat to jail Big Tech CEOs seems to be a bit of a farce because, let’s be honest, government and Big Tech are best friends. The threat of prison simply gives Big Tech an excuse to say, “Well, we have to comply. We have no choice.” Meanwhile, Microsoft and Apple themselves are reportedly among the companies that helped develop the technology behind client-side scanning. It’s one big club, and we ain’t in it.

“It’s easy on an Ather” That’s our new brand campaign at Ather Energy Tech only creates real value when it simplifies life. While the early launches are about the coolness of the tech, it only becomes useful when it can finally disappear into the background. That’s when the focus can shift from the ‘tech’ itself to what it really ‘does for us’. Making things 'easy' is often super hard. And that's the benchmark that we want to try and live up to with our products. And that’s the story that we want to tell now. How ALL the tech that we have been building for years in our products, comes together to improve our daily lives on the road. How it makes your rides easy. Here’s the first video on the same. Celebrating a supremely useful, and (hopefully!) a very, very invisible feature - skid control.

Minnesota is lost because we are more interested in perception and convenience than freedom or victory. Someone asked me at the convention yesterday, “what do you plan to do in the senate, how can you get legislation passed?” My simple answer was “tell the truth”. The U.S. Senate, even with a Republican majority is a joke and we all see it. The only way is to vote every last one of them out, with a handful of exceptions. If we want to keep playing this game where politics is pageantry, we will keep getting the same results. All these candidates with their corny stump speeches, they’re going to cave or sell us out the 1st chance they get and we all know it. Some of us are even counting on it. The real crisis of American culture is the propensity to sellout. Stop selling out for money, status, etc. Royce White for U.S. Senate MN 2026 America 1st, Just Right™️

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna state that some UAPs and the technology is NOT made by mankind. The problem we have is that we give private companies this technology so our own elected officials can't oversee or even know what's really going on. But, some members in our government DO know and have access. How is it ok to give tech, whether created by mankind or not, to private companies so an elite group of people keep full control over it? What if it eliminates the use for gas or oil? Are you starting to understand? Also, do you believe that they wouldn't fully take advantage of this tech in multiple ways? Since we know there is a "non-human" presence, but we don't know exactly what that presence is, do you really believe they wouldn't take advantage of that, or could potentially "pose" as that "presence" and pretend it's a threat to push an agenda? These are the things you need to start asking yourself and understand that, yes, there are many elites sitting on tech and physics that they do NOT want us to have. The million dollar question becomes, "What exactly are we going to do about this, and how do we fix this for all of mankind?"

“You don’t look like a doctor.” I’ve heard it more times than I can count. Maybe it’s because I’m not in a white lab coat. Or because I sit in front of a camera more than I sit in a clinic. But the thing is the stethoscope doesn’t define the doctor… The impact does. I chose to treat misinformation. To diagnose the silence and to fight for the millions of people who have questions but no safe space to ask them. This is the healthcare I show up for every day: 1. Telling stories that save lives. 2. Building platforms like AwaDoc uto answer health questions in real time. 3. And shifting the belief that a “doctor” must look one way. So no, I might not be the doctor you expect, but I’m exactly the doctor I promised myself I’d become: One that doesn’t just wait for patients to come in… But goes out to meet them where they are. On their phones. In their language. And in their reality. Because these days, saving lives isn’t just in the operating room… It’s also in the stories we tell and the platforms we build.

How Big Tech Frames African Audiences As Intellectually Lazy. African social media audiences are not “dumb” - they are being conditioned. When Africans have to engage with western controlled information ecosystems, the engagement is never a fair one. Not in traditional media, and certainly not in digital media. It always follows the same colonial playbook of extraction and social engineering over any kind of meaningful conversation or useful solution. The exploitative relationship between Western-controlled tech giants and Africa's social media audiences is often overlooked, but it shapes almost everything we see or value - and even how we understand ourselves. The low-effort, oversexualized content that has become recognised as the preferred taste of African audiences is not in fact an organic phenomenon. To put it bluntly, Western colonial tech monopolies are actively engineering African social media spaces into cesspits of anti-intellectual slop. Africa must rise to resist this intellectual suppression by building information and communication ecosystems by Africans and for Africans.

Love Beyond Dreams is a GL in a league of its own. It gives us a mystery that keeps the audience going crazy with theories about the plot and who killed Lené. It also has a unique love story whose deeper layers we have yet to uncover. Since we constantly get clues in each episode and BTS content, it almost feels like playing detective. This show is giving us not only stunning and talented protagonists who portray emotions so well that you forget to breathe, and not only romance, but also the chance to play the game ourselves, look for clues, and interact with the artists — which is a whole new level of entertainment. I’m so happy I discovered this show just in time not to miss all the fun. And for those who aren’t watching it yet: run, don’t walk — it’s available for free on YouTube. And once you see how exceptional the actresses are, don’t forget to follow them: miephat playing Lené Aya Orapan (Ran รัณ) playing Ran #LoveBeyondDreamsSeries #MieAya #Miephat #Ayaorapan #เพื่อเธออีกครั้ง

Love Beyond Dreams is a GL in a league of its own. It gives us a mystery that keeps the audience going crazy with theories about the plot and who killed Lené. It also has a unique love story whose deeper layers we have yet to uncover. Since we constantly get clues in each episode and BTS content, it almost feels like playing detective. This show is giving us not only stunning and talented protagonists who portray emotions so well that you forget to breathe, and not only romance, but also the chance to play the game ourselves, look for clues, and interact with the artists — which is a whole new level of entertainment.

Guest Blows Joe Rogan Away When He Reads His Mind Live on His Show “You will talk about this for years.” First, he laid out a set of cards with 50 names—each representing a past guest from the show. Joe picked one at random and held it quietly in his mind. Then came the twist. Oz told Joe to text the person he picked. Within moments, that past guest replied—and Oz instructed Joe to ask them two things: Who was their first crush, and who was their first kiss? Joe received two names. From there, Oz went into mentalist mode. He watched Joe’s microexpressions. He asked how many letters were in the name. He told Joe to “mix up all the letters” in his mind. He watched his eyes dart. And then, Oz took a leap: “Is the name Amanda?” “Yes,” Rogan said—stunned. “What the f*ck did you just do?” This is a long video, but it’s worth watching. I’m still trying to figure out how he did it.

OPINION: How bad is the tech reviewer market? You have mainstreamers literally angry at their viewership for not watching product or tech videos that they can't possibly afford the product in it. I am researching PC parts to update my build. I start watching reviews and a surprising amount came to light - - Tech market is in shambles thanks to a considerable number of things well ahead of the consumers. - If you think inflation is bad on the food shelves, take a look at the tech industry. - Some tech reviewers have started a mental collapse because they got used to the high life. Reviewing only kit for the rich. And now they are mad that viewers have stopped watching. REACTION TO CLIP: My thoughts on this and a reaction to one of the mainstreamers in the attached video. -What the reality is, is that tech reviewers have lost touch with the fact that the U.S people are struggling to make ends meet. - The last thing we want to see, is whining because we didn't make it to your sponsor clip to make you money. - When whining about viewership, it's a known fact that you don't drag a competitor that is doing better than you to whine about how you should be doing better. It shows underly pride issues. Just because you get to the top doesn't mean you can just lose touch with your actual tech base. -Most of these tech reviewers got big because they remembered the little guy. The reality is, for these tech reviewers, that's boring. Why do that when corporations are sending out thousands of dollars in kit meant for only the top percentile of consumers. It's fun to play with the latest modern tech. But when a consumer can't afford it, it just gets them depressed. So, these reviewers start laying on the guilty and blame, which drives away even more viewers. FINAL THOUGHTS: I purposely left out some of the more immature things. I really enjoyed Linus and learned to build a PC many years ago thanks to him. But I see a downward spiral happening for these mainstreamers that have gotten wealthy off of the tech market. Markets shift. I don't know what else to say. But it was defeating to see what I considered to be one of my main goes to people lash out and say that we are ignorant if we don't watch his reviews. That a large majority are buying parts without watching or reading reviews. Thats simple not true. The Tech YouTube market is saturated now. That's not the consumer's fault. I hope things turn around for a few of these mainstreamers. Linus is only an example. Not the only one. Linus Tech Tips Linus LinusMediaGroup #TechReviews #PCParts #PCBuild #NVIDIA #Example #Opinion

If there’s one lesson people are beginning to realize about modern technology, it’s this: The devices we rely on every day aren’t just tools. They’re surveillance systems. 👉 Learn more: Your phone tracks your location. Your apps collect your behavior. And now, AI integrated directly into your computer can record what you do on your screen every few seconds. Your emails. Your messages. Your searches. Even things you type but never send. That isn’t speculation. It’s the direction Big Tech has already taken. And the uncomfortable truth is that the people building these systems know exactly how powerful they are. Many of the same tech leaders who sell these devices to billions of users take extraordinary precautions with their own technology, covering cameras and limiting the very tools they encourage everyone else to use. Because data is power. And the more data that flows through these systems, the more influence the companies behind them gain over the digital world we all live in. But the playing field doesn’t have to stay that way. On Thursday, privacy experts Glenn and Eric Meder are hosting a free Privacy Academy webinar explaining exactly how these systems work and what people can do about them. During the training, they walk through how modern operating systems collect and analyze your behavior, how AI tools can build detailed behavioral profiles, and why many of the privacy settings people rely on don’t actually stop data collection. More importantly, they explain a practical alternative. Instead of relying on software designed around data collection, they show how privacy-focused systems like Linux can give users far more control over their own computers. And they break it down step by step so everyday people—not just programmers or tech experts—can understand how to make the transition. Because once you understand how these systems work, protecting your privacy becomes far easier than most people think. The free webinar is happening Thursday, March 5 at 7 PM Central, and it’s open to anyone who wants to understand how Big Tech is gathering data—and how to stop it. 👉 Register here: You can’t control the direction the tech industry chooses to take. But you can control how much access those systems have to your life. We want to thank Privacy Academy for helping everyday people understand how the digital world really works and for being a proud sponsor of this program. If you’re interested in learning more, visit do your own research, and decide if the training is right for you. Because when it comes to privacy, the most important step is understanding the system you’re living inside.
