I wish NYC had more of a startup culture... what would it take to foster an environment similar to SF? Access to early-stage funding, what else ?

[@AlexWilhelmTWIST]

I have always wondered if part of the issue is that NYC has so many other industries at scale, while SF feels more like a company town?

[@robin2080]

​@@AlexWilhelmTWIST That's part of it, but if I'm being honest, a lot of the NYC VCs are former ex-finance people-folks who are inherently averse to risk. I think JCal calls them fukin' 'bean-counters,' haha.

Gotta give Jcal credit. On the all in pod his prediciton was that OpenAI was about to face headwinds...well, here you go!

[@AlexWilhelmTWIST]

headwinds: achieved

43:00 still making the argument for closed source. Reasoning tokens haven't been in the outputs of OpenAI, only the final answer.

Apparently the fighter jet used regular non-airplane starlink and an iPhone to live stream!
