When I was 5, we immigrated to the US & slept on the floor of my uncle's 1br apartment for two years. When I was 10, we moved to a poultry farm in rural Maryland. I spent my evenings and weekends working on the farm. My childhood led me to dedicate my career to AI. Here's why:

let me save you the trouble

really nice guy, ran into him at LAX a few weeks ago

Guess who I ran into at JFK baggage claim…(clue: his shirt may give it away) Best of luck in the US Open @DjokerNole!

Timelines are collapsing

ran into a familiar face at my local tennis courts earlier… @rogerfederer @on_running

lol what do you know about principles, Bill?

“cancelled cancel culture” says the guy who cries “anti-semitism” at the drop of a dime 🤣 you’ve reinvented cancel culture with your own hateful spin

13 months ago I was grinding 80+ hour weeks, constantly stressed, and not thinking too much about my health when I randomly bumped into @bryan_johnson at SFO. We knew some of the same folks from my PayPal days (the company he sold Braintree to), so we started chatting. I was venting about my work-life balance (or lack thereof) when he shared this message: "You can't perform at your best if you're not taking care of yourself first." Direct and to the point. It really stuck with me. For the first time in years, I started actually prioritizing my health. Got some tests done a few weeks later. They revealed a serious health issue that needed immediate attention. Fortunately, early detection made all the difference. That random airport conversation may well have saved my life. Yesterday, I brought Bryan together with 14 healthtech CEOs in LA for dinner where we discussed the same insights he shared with me at SFO - but this time with leaders who are actually building the future of healthcare using AI. These founders are working on everything from AI-powered diagnostics to personalized medicine platforms - technology that could help others catch health issues early like I did. It was an honor to spend time with this group who understand that innovation isn't just about building cool tech - it's about helping people live healthier, longer lives. This group is proof that we can actually practice what we preach.

lol this is the actual picture from that talk

ngl felt like a piece of my childhood died when Ronaldo left the pitch in tears. viva Ronaldo. ❤️

Amjad Masad (@amasad) immigrated to the US from Jordan at age 24 with "nothing but credit card debt." Now, his startup is at the forefront of the 'AI-generated software' revolution. Here's a quick story of @amasad, @Replit, and how they're changing software creation forever:

Shaun is a manipulative liar who thinks he’s concealing his bigotry

strawman…your tactic is to insinuate anti-semitism without saying it explicitly. you use it to silence others and their fair condemnation of entities you defend. and more maliciously, to incite hate towards Muslims, whom you’ve chosen to make the scapegoat in your “decline of the West” narrative. all part of your playbook, part of which you laid out here

we got the wish dot com aurora

🚨 BREAKING: Mark Cuban shares about his thoughts on the latest generative AI craze. Exclusive Q&A with @mcuban dropping this week for subscribers of Not A Bot — the biggest daily AI newsletter in the world. Here's what you can expect:

Shaun is constantly testing how much anti-muslim bigotry he can get away with without getting caught. he crossed the line again this time and he pulled out his “muslim vs islamist” card to soften his actual position his side is mad that these manipulative tricks aren’t working anymore

TIL they have make-a-wish for billionaires

hey Bill what stage of grief are you currently in?

you knew what you were doing when you used “culture” vaguely in your original tweet you’re smart enough to have known how it would be interpreted, & had a plan in case your casual racism was called out you’ve used this playbook several times in the past year man, we’re not stupid

this you?

Exciting career update: I left my job to start @AutoblocksAI with Adam Nolte (@nolte_adam). 🥳 In the 7+ years I’ve been in AI, I’ve never been more excited by the opportunity ahead. ** What’s the problem? ** Companies are quickly discovering incredible use cases unlocked by LLMs; however, after talking with numerous companies (including some which you most likely interacted with), we realized many challenges with deploying them to production. ** What are we working on? ** Autoblocks provides companies with a collection of “building blocks” to help them build, deploy, and monitor LLMs at scale. We’re building with Enterprises in mind, with a focus on the following: 🕵️ Privacy 🔒 Security 〰️ Flexibility 🛡️ Robustness ** Why us? ** With Adam’s expertise in building large-scale event-driven systems at project44 & Front and my expertise in AI and dev tool growth, we’re confident that we’re the right team to take on this challenge and help onboard the next wave of AI companies. --- If your company has launched LLM features at scale or plans to do so, sign up for our waitlist to join our beta cohort at Autoblocks.ai. We’ll be onboarding users from our waitlist in the next few weeks.

on the bright side, you’ll have plenty of time for travel once your term is up this Fall

still a banger

what a great time to be a 5-year-old who wants to learn @Docker

I asked @mcuban whether young people should be worried about generative AI. This is what he said. The craziest part? He never said these words out loud… I used @resembleai to clone his voice and read out his email response. 🤯

Next week, it'll be exactly 22 years since we moved from a small agrarian village in Pakistan to the US in hopes of a better future. Today, the story of the nonprofit my brother and I co-founded (@aiforanyone) was shared on @CNBC. Dreams do come true! cnb.cx/3eMOsuz

not to take away from an amazing dribble from Messi, this defending is the reason why people find it hard to take the MLS seriously

ended 2022 with the best possible gift ❤️❤️❤️

here’s a good overview of the story (which dovetails with the Sam x Elon beef) semafor.com/article/03/24/20…

Today, we're introducing 🔄 Self-Improving LLM Judges in @Autoblocks. ​ LLM judges are an amazing way to evaluate subjective LLM app outputs at scale. The problem is — they're usually too inaccurate for teams to rely on. ​ This forces teams to lean entirely on experts to review LLM app outputs, which is both slow and expensive. ​ Self-Improving LLM Judges fix this and are basically a way to automatically improve LLM judge accuracy using expert preferences. They don't replace expert reviews but augment them. ​ One of our early adopters, a Series C healthcare startup using LLMs, reported a 75%+ improvement (!) in the accuracy of a critical LLM judge after just one month of using Self-Improving LLM Judges. ​ Read more here 👉 autoblocks.ai/blog/self-impr… or check it out live in the product now!

today’s @notabotdaily is going to be delayed, but I promise I have a good excuse. 😅💉

I feel like there’s a midwit situation here. anyone in the AI space pre-LLMs might call it gen AI to distinguish against traditional ML

makes sense, you guys share a similar playbook for propaganda

the fact that he thinks it’s a hard tell is hilarious

Okay, we just went all-in our AI infrastructure startup. 🚀🚀🚀 I couldn't be more excited about what we're building. Who are the angels / pre-seed funds we should talk to? I want to talk to everyone and anyone.

I have some exciting @AutoblocksAI updates to share…👀

really tired of the current voice mode not letting me cut it off abruptly

Of all people, who better to summarize the nature of AI than ...wait ...MC Hammer?

every Muslim holds their breath after events like yesterday, hoping that our religion isn’t tarnished by criminals who justify violence in its name. it’s so refreshing to see a Muslim hero like Zack get the spotlight for once. #ThankYouZack

i’ve never heard of fred again but he’s performing next to my apt and now there’s pandemonium

Here's a peek at how the new Bing search (powered by OpenAI) works. 🤯

this is just a dirty trick that Shaun plays. he shows bigotry towards all Muslims and then falls back to his “Islamist vs Muslim” line or his “my wife is Persian” line whenever people catch on. he’s done this for over a year now. in the Muslim founder community especially, he’s single handedly destroyed Sequoia’s reputation

To be fair, I’ve seen his juggling skills and he could def pass for a soccer player!

nothing beats coming home to this after a work trip 💚

📣 I'm excited to announce the @AutoblocksAI private beta! Our team is building a unified, enterprise-grade solution that addresses common pain points developers face when working with LLMs. Here are some common pain points and how we address them with Autoblocks:

📣 Autoblocks is now available to everyone! We built Autoblocks to help teams *improve & differentiate* their LLM products. If you’re building with LLMs, here's how Autoblocks can be your secret weapon:

as someone who grew up in a low-income immigrant household, and started one of America’s leading AI education nonprofits in 2016, I find it really difficult to imagine AGI being equitable to those in lower socioeconomic classes. I’ve always been optimistic about the impact that AI can have, until we started hyper-accelerating since ChatGPT launched. now, I’m starting to think the upward mobility so many of us have experience in the past few decades will no longer exist. and for so many folks who are lower income that have saved up for their children to go to college will have wasted their money, because the goalpost shifted to the right about 50 feet. I get the optimistic takes, but I don’t think the risks of “freezing” the lower income (or even middle) class are being talked about enough

I hated this season until this. one of the best TV episodes I’ve ever seen

is this the same place??

If you experience imposter syndrome, read this: My parents never graduated high school. As the oldest of their four kids, I was the first to go to college. I remember the pit in my stomach when my dad dropped me at Penn State University, 6 hours away from our home. Everyone else I met in my dorm seemed to have things figured out. They had their 'care packages', all the right accessories and bedding. I came totally unprepared. As embarrassing as it is to admit, I didn't even understand how credits worked when I got to campus. No one taught me, and I never went out of my way to learn. The first 6 months of college were rough. I got myself into a rut and questioned whether I belonged on campus. I was was there because I was on scholarship, but did they make a mistake? Did I make a mistake? At a certain point, before I sank even deeper, I decided to take matter into my own hands. I wanted to fight back against the imposter syndrome - to know that I did everything in my power to give myself a shot. I scheduled a meeting with a counselor, changed my major, and spent all my free time studying. And the results followed: - My grades started improving - I got accepted into competitive internships at NASA and PayPal - My mental & physical health started to improve But as much as this experience & others helped build my confidence, it never made the imposter syndrome go away. Even today, as the CEO at @AutoblocksAI, I'll admit that I feel imposter syndrome all the time. But each time I do, I pull from the list of obstacles that I've overcome in life. David Goggins calls this 'dipping into the cookie jar'. What I’ve learned is that you might not be able to ignore these feelings. The reality might be that you might have to work harder to get something done. But what's important to remember is that you *can* get it done.

4 years ago on this day. 🥰 How things have changed! 👨‍👩‍👧

We traveled 24 hours door-to-door with a 6 month old. Nothing is impossible.

can’t believe she’s already a month old 💙

Ramadan with a newborn (and while starting a company) was one of the most special, challenging, and rewarding experiences of my life. Grateful for the memories created with my girls. 🥰 Eid Mubarak!

🚨 CALLING ALL BUILDERS IN AI 🚨 Tomorrow, Not A Bot (@notabotdaily), the biggest AI newsletter in the world, is launching the "Product Hunt for AI"! To kick things off, we're running a 7-day competition to help you get in front of 50k+ AI investors and enthusiasts. Details:

ignore the haters! it's really cool that you shared your personal project for free with others. and very savvy of you to use this as an opportunity to learn new tech and become a better engineer. there's no better way to learn.

This is awesome - congrats, Erica! 🎉

My parents never graduated from high school. So when I graduated from @UCBerkeley with my Masters, my mom was so excited that she tried on my graduation outfit herself. I love this pic bc it reminds me that my accomplishments are equally her accomplishments. Happy Mom’s Day!

ran into @mPinoe outside the @AutoblocksAI HQ 💪🏼✌🏼

Last month, my nonprofit (@aiforanyone) partnered with the @mcuban Foundation to teach the fundamentals of AI to a live audience of over 30k people. We sent a follow-up email with some of my favorite resources for learning more about AI. Here they are:

Crazy to think this interview with @amasad was over two years ago. Aged incredibly well.

Just recorded a 🔥🔥🔥 Q&A with @xlr8harder. We discussed: - whether LLMs can think - effective accelerationism - this tech revolution vs. previous ones - who xl really is... 🤔 This was one of the most fascinating convos I've had in a while. Can't wait to share it with you all

Table 87 in Brooklyn Heights. there's also an amazing Palestinian restaurant a couple blocks away from it named Al Badawi. 🤤

So, turns out that simultaneously raising a newborn, writing a daily AI newsletter, and raising pre-seed funding for your AI startup can get pretty exhausting. Any good virtual assistant services I should look into?

just because they bet on Cuomo doesn’t mean they support him…all it means is they like the odds…🤦‍♂️

we both celebrated our first birthdays as parents this past month, so of course we had to do a photoshoot in color coordinated outfits

Yup! He was very humble and friendly

Totally makes sense that those with “last-mile” knowledge of specific domains will have more valuable feedback for these models. Although not sure how much it’ll impact their wages since the amount of feedback needed to improve these models is pretty low.

We're currently in the "copilot" phase of AI. Most AI tools assist workflows. Soon, we'll be in the "autopilot" phase of generative AI. AI will handle and optimize workflows for you with little to no intervention.
