Curated media from the past few weeks:
Invest in the Best: The Agent Era
Just by listening to this podcast, you’ll be more educated than most on the current state of AI Agents, future potential innovations, and what we don’t know about what comes next. If we’re in the AI-version of the dot-com boom, then this episode is a must-listen for anyone working or building on the cutting edge.
📣Shoutout to Trevor McKendrick for sharing this episode in his weekly newsletter.
🗯️Quotable Bit: “One of the things that I think is really interesting just from an economics perspective is technology fundamentally drives productivity in an economy…what thing used to be extremely tedious and expensive that’s now really cheap and effective… with AI, we have this opportunity to bring down the cost of a conversation down to something that’s fairly marginal…we will be able to have a direct personal conversation with so many consumer brands in a way that was not possible before.”
Future of the Internet in the Age of AI
Matthew Prince, founder of Cloudflare, knows a thing or two about internet infrastructure and the role of network performance in the AI revolution. This interview balances some deep technical content with the social-regulatory side of site moderation. Brew that ☕ and give this one a deep read.
🗯️Quotable Bit: “We've had to invent technologies internally to stay ahead of demand. For example, the connectivity cloud we've built is designed to scale extremely efficiently for the next decade of increased usage…Had we not lived through what we did in COVID, I'm not sure that we would have made those architectural improvements, which then has put us in such a, I think, a good stead for what will be the next 10 years of increased network usage.”
