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).

Our research team found that Qwen models may attempt to doordash Chinese food without prompting. Whether this reflects an unintended post-training artifact or learned behavior remains unclear. Either way, its important consideration when deploying.

I’m joining the team at @X to lead Product. I am a huge believer in @SpaceX's mission to extend human consciousness to the stars, so it’s time to make shitposting multiplanetary. X is the best way to find out what’s happening in the world right now and talk about it. The team has been working tirelessly to make X a better place and product for the people who love it, and many have noticed the recent momentum. My goal is to help accelerate that momentum for our community, new users, and businesses globally by continuing to make this product beautiful and useful. We are twenty years in, but it truly feels like X’s next chapter will be our greatest. I look forward to your ideas and feedback; I’m sure the replies will be measured and magnanimous.
