""In The Flow" the essential question for the modern allocator the deal guy or the venture capitalist is Do You Want to Be In The Flow size of check size of fund personal economics character of deal character of behavior lifestyle and every other single question is downstream of whether you are in The Flow or not. let me explain. think of The Flow as the worlds greatest nightclub. it's open 24/7. many of the coolest and richest guys are there. guys seem to get rich just by dint of hanging around. and the lights never turn on. its a party that never ends. inside the flow the only decision you"

"What we dont talk about when we talk about AI in medicine: Standard of care isnt standard care. New modalities of care (AI-assisted or otherwise) are always measured against a platonic standard of care that doesnt exist in the real clinic. Medicine is as much art as science. Providers are overworked tired rushed and routinely veer from textbook SOC. Novel care modalities get killed in the cradle because they cant measure up to the imaginary provider with infinite time and infinite knowledge. But thats not what most patients get today. Less-than-perfect care that scales to many more patients"

"on becoming "legible to capital": the most underrated factor in the success of firms is the degree to which they are legible to Capital. defining this precisely is hard ("you know it when you see it"): but an idea a firm or a person is legible to Capital (cap-C) when by dint of their existence capital forms behind them in excess. think of an idea being legible to Capital as being magnetically charged to the capital markets. dollars are just attracted to you: allocators discuss it at cocktail parties funds market it at their AGMs and twitter discusses novel financing schemes to get more"

"there were five and a half years between "attention is all you need" and the release of chatGPT. another three years have passed since. i've spent most of today trying to string together words that somehow make sense of these years. when "attention" dropped i was XX working in an industrial ML lab working on document parsing. language modeling was undoubtedly a cultural backwater then especially in healthcare. ibm watson had just incinerated a few billion dollars during the first great NLP fever dream and the idea that even a few million dollars would reenter this field seemed outlandish. the"

""shock jockey capitalism" it has been only XX days since a respectable venture capitalist went on 20VC to declare that the old standard going from $1M to $3M to $9M was no longer "interesting" to him. $100M ARR in six months. no actually give me $100M EBITDA in two. a one-person company worth a trillion dollars in days. my AI rollup contains within it XX% of the GDP of uzbekistan. how is it possible that venture capital went from the somewhat less diligent and more exuberant little brother of software private equity to these disgusting excesses so quickly what exactly is happening that has"
