The age of the 40-year-old founder is back. Bryant Chou spent 12 years as CTO of Webflow, which now powers something like 1.5% of the entire internet. He's back in the current YC batch with Ploy, an AI marketing platform, and he describes himself as "a bit of a boomer, double the age of the YC founders." But over 13% of his batch is already using his product, within months of launch. There is a side of the argument which destroyed one of the main edges young founders have, which was being faster and cheaper at building.... speed is everyones game. If what's left is knowing what to build this is more likely to come from spending 15 years watching an industry up close, collecting the thousand small frustrations that tell you where the real problem is. Bryant can build an anti-slop website tool because he spent over a decade learning exactly why websites are slop. So I'm updating. I don't think it's young vs. old. I think AI rewards whoever has the most domain knowledge to point it at, and only sometimes is this younger founders who are thinking outside of the box...

In this week, an Intel patent application was published, revealing its proposed Cross-Batch Memory (XBM), an ultra high-bandwidth memory that offers some significant improvements over the current standard, which could be a direct competitor to HBM4 in the near future.

I host a ton of events. This video was so fun to make, capturing how my team and I leverage AI when curating an incredibly high volume of intimate, tasteful, and high-quality events using some of our favorite tools like @OpenAIDevs Codex, Eve by @vercel and more. But we are also excited to learn. Let me know if you have any suggestions or favorite tools and workflows :) And if you're heading to ICML, definitely say hi to the @Cerebras team.

I used Fable 5 to port Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour to the iPhone and iPad! This is the actual 2003 engine compiled for ARM64 natively, no emulator. Campaign, skirmish, Generals Challenge all work with touch controls built for an RTS. Open sourcing it all below!
