im just a boy standing in front of a company asking if they should be bought by AI rollup companies.

I spent 20,000 dollars in API credits having different AI models play each other at Blood on the Clocktower (a Mafia or Werewolf type social deception game).
The results were fascinating. Models have gotten much better over the course of this year at creative on-the-spot scheming and bluffing, and also at reasoning as a team to break apart these underground conspiracies.
I go through some of the most standout games these AIs played in this video. The new models are getting pretty good. If my friends pulled off some of these moves while we were playing, I’d give them a fist bump.
Fwiw, OpenAI’s newer models are much better than Anthropic’s at this game.
You can see the full benchmark at the website, and I’ve also made it so that you and your friends can play again the AIs:

Introducing Confetti, a platform that helps you design and build hardware with plain English.
Here’s how:
- explain your idea at
- that’s it.
Confetti is the first AI platform for vibe-manufacturing which lets anybody go from idea to 3D design to parts at your doorstep all in one place.
Creating hardware has always required skills and resources, meaning our ideas are often left as just ideas. But making things should be for everybody.

I first met @liangsays when applying for nmf cohort 2 after sending him this pretty reckless message. This ended up being the only reason I got to work at @MTSlive and eventually @a16z
Shoot your shot!

A year ago, I joined the first @a16z New Media Fellowship as a fellow.
Now I get to help run the third one (!) and we just opened up applications.
This is a unique opportunity to meet, spend time with, and learn from some of the greatest poasters on the Everything App (maybe the real NMF was the friends we made along the way).

a16z's @droovg explains why ChatGPT and Gemini struggle to find the best startups to work for, and how Cosign is building the missing data layer:
"One thing that LinkedIn will never do is introduce an MCP that allows you to have vast search access over the graph."
"When I was in New York this summer, I wanted to start meeting people who I thought I might be able to work for one day."
"So I Googled, who are the best startups in New York? Gemini gave me a pretty bad answer. I switched to ChatGPT, it also gave me a pretty bad answer. That whole data layer of information is kind of missing right now."
"We have an iMessage agent. We also have a personal MCP that lets you connect your Muse, your Grok Bot, your Instinct to the platform, to make this truly the first agent-native professional networking platform."

a16z's @droovg reveals how a single endorsement helped him break into Silicon Valley, and why he's now trying to give overlooked talent the same opportunity:
"Being at MTS, that was really my first experience in San Francisco. I really could only get into the startup ecosystem as a whole because Brent, the CEO of MTS, cosigned me, in one way."
"With anyone being able to nominate, anyone being able to vote, we hope that a lot of operators that are under-recognized by the public but have great recognition inside their company are able to take that step to being well-known in the public for the great work they’re doing."

i think the funniest part about this paper is that humans just weren't creative enough to pattern recognize and because of that we went down the wrong rabbit hole for 7 years
when nick told me that he had some interp breakthroughs, he was uh, underselling it. i think this may be remembered as a major moment in scientific history. news so good even eliezer will have to lower his pdoom. we can start making alignment into a 'normal science'
