Embrace Risk: The Key to Bigger Opportunities
More risk is something most people are afraid of, and it's where the larger opportunity lies
Even Experts Misjudge Tech Adoption Speed
Not all of my predictions have been right. In late 2000’s, I believed cellulosic biofuels could replace gasoline and oil at scale. That didn’t happen. I underestimated electric vehicles, assuming a critical mass of charging stations was hard. I underestimated how...
Tech Predictions Nearing Reality: Progress Accelerates Yearly
For years I’ve shared predictions about how technology would reshape our world. We’re still early in that journey, but we’re getting closer every year. Here’s a look back at some of my predictions and the recent progress moving toward them:
Rethinking 2026 Input/Output: Glasses, Smart Pens, BCI
Time to reinvent input/output in 2026 beyond the phone: (1) eye glasses that see and hear everything you see and hear? Meta may have done the right thing for the wrong (AR) reason (2) better pens that digitize the...
Tech‑driven Automation Shrinks Land Needs, Cuts Costs
Faster commutes on self-driving "on demand" public transit so land is cheaper and smaller % of housing, robotic construction of standardized housing, lower materials waste thru automation, robotic growth of food and limited use of fertilizer/pesticides thru precision dosing,...

Game Data Unlocks Real-World Insights and Competitive Edge
Amazing how valuable the game data is for real world data. Only games have action on controller and reaction in the world in a physics accurate way. And if you have data from thousands of games and tens of millions...
Powerful New Dataset Poised to Eclipse Existing World Models
Very likely current approaches to world models will be obsoleted by a powerful data set like what @gen_intuition has. Very optimistic this approach will be among the winners relative to current ways of building them
Brutal Honesty Beats Politeness
So true. I get dinged for the latter all the time. Since 2004 the @khoslaventures website has proclaimed “we prefer brutal honesty to hypocritical politeness”. Proud to be a big investor in @PimDeWitte’s two ventures: general intuition and highlight.
