Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz: "We believe bad government policies are now the #1 threat to Little Tech. We believe American technology supremacy, and the critical role that Little Tech startups play in ensuring that supremacy, is a first class political issue on par with any other. The time has come to stand up for Little Tech." Read "The Little Tech Agenda" in full: https://lnkd.in/eXU_Ghi4

If you thought LLMs were trained on lots of data, meet the Dream Machine model from Luma AI. As chief scientist Jiaming Song explains to a16z's Anjney Midha, this 3D model was trained on an estimated hundreds of trillions of tokens worth of video data 👇 Jiaming gives his insight into where it's all going, on AI + a16z:

The Internet was built on open source software. The very ecosystem that yielded our most popular operating systems, privacy protocols, and widely used databases, is now under threat. Arthur Mensch, cofounder of Mistral AI, discusses on the a16z podcast why this technology wave is no different, and why open source is actually the "safest" path ahead in a world of artificial intelligence.

Today we are excited to announce our investment in Command Zero after 2.5 years of working with Dov Yoran, Alfred Huger, and Dean De Beer on building the first autonomous and user-led cyber investigation platform. In the security industry, it's a widely held belief that the "Red Team always wins". This is to say, that attackers are always advantaged because they only need to be successful 1% of the time to win. Command Zero looks to shift that balance by increasing the speed and accuracy of the Blue Team's response by incorporating automation and advanced LLMs to augment human investigators. Dov, Alfred, and Dean are the kind of founders we love to back. Hardcore security practitioners, threat hunters, incident responders, and company builders. It's rare to find such a strong combination of skills aligned to tackle some of the hardest security problems. We're looking forward to seeing Command Zero shift the advantage towards the Blue Team. **None of the above should be taken as investment advice or an advertisement for investment services; please see https://lnkd.in/gabzDYf5 for more information.
hello everyone - we are excited to come out of stealth after 2.5 years of building an exceptional team, kick ass platform and cadre of early adopters. thanks to the support of our friends, family, industry colleagues, the Command Zero team and my partners in crime Alfred Huger and Dean De Beer. now the fun really begins! we look forward to seeing you soon and sharing our story in person. check out more my blog post https://lnkd.in/gvEtffDs

We're entering the Matrix with Hebbia and thrilled to lead their latest round of funding.

Can GenAI reshape consumer behavior? Simon Khalaf of Marqeta thinks so. Khalaf paints a bold picture of AI-driven, personalized payment cards that could redefine how we think about rewards and consumer engagement. 'Changing consumer behavior requires visuals and bribery, which is called rewards,' Simon explains. With generative AI, he envisions cards created instantly, offering tailored rewards from 0% to 40% cashback, all to increase purchase likelihood and boost economic activity.
