"Marc Andreessen, a philosophical zombie, can be easily replaced with #AI. I bet that’s great news for #a16z’s investors, since it means Andreessen no longer must be paid — and it frees him up to be the subject of some philosophy experiments."
Yeah, I've suspected this about the ultra-rich for some time now. Great article!
Marc #Andreessen is a philosophical zombie

I would like to replace the front door - hopefully it's a revolving door, so the aesthetics don't change so much - of the YCombinator offices with an enormous 10-stacked-blades MixMaster.
It seems that the complete corruption of my industry might have been prevented if I'd done this years ago, and anyone trying to go in or out of that place is not going to be a loss to society anyways.
If I like the results, we can start on the others.

Baidu AI Search가 a16z(Andreessen Horowitz)의 'Top 50 Gen AI Mobile Apps' 월간 활성 사용자 기준 목록에 다시 포함되었다는 소식입니다. 모바일 기반 생성형 AI 앱 중 이용자 지표에서 주목받는 제품임을 알리는 업데이트입니다.
@diewillnurWein certainly would fit dickheads like #a16z...
@andymoose @calsnoboarder Like for real, check out the genocidal rhetoric of "#EffectiveAccelerationism" and realize these people that like #TESCREAL believe that #genocide of the entire #Humanity [except them aka. #Billionaires] is justifyable and good.

VC 기업 Andreessen Horowitz(a16z)가 ‘기업용 AI 경쟁 구도에서의 리더와 예상치 못한 승자들’이라는 분석 보고서를 공개했습니다. 이 리포트는 엔터프라이즈용 AI 시장의 주요 플레이어들과 전략적 흐름을 다루며, AI 생태계 내의 경쟁이 어떻게 전개되는지를 조망합니다.

Martin Casado와 Sarah Wang(a16z)이 소프트웨어 정의 네트워킹에서 출발해 이번 AI 사이클의 주요 AI 연구실들을 후원하며 AI 자본과 역량 경쟁의 중심에 섰다는 내용의 기사 예고입니다. 해당 인터뷰는 a16z 두 파트너와 함께 AI 투자 방식이 어떻게 근본적으로 변했는지에 대해 해설합니다.
From pioneering software-defined networking to backing many of the most ambitious AI labs of this cycle, Martin Casado and Sarah Wang sit at the center of AI’s capital and capability arms race. We sat down with the a16z duo to unpack how AI investing fundamentally changed: why
The philosopher believes that digital superintelligence is going to kill us all. In San Francisco, his followers ask: What if, instead of trying to stop an A.I. takeover, you work to bring it on as fast as possible? James Duesterberg reports.
"The firm’s ascent in Washington has been fueled by massive influence spending, co-founder Marc Andreessen’s close ties to Trump, and a network of former firm partners working in key administration positions. It’s also benefited from savvy casting of its portfolio of insurgent startups as exemplars of the kind of free-market innovation celebrated by Republican Washington’s reigning conservative ideology.
Andreessen Horowitz’s bold, maximalist approach and deregulatory zeal have buttressed the administration’s view that most government-imposed guardrails on AI endanger US competitiveness in a fast-developing technology that has helped power the country’s recent economic growth. It has been a key driver of the Trump White House’s moves to thwart state governments’ efforts to regulate AI.
White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement that Trump and his advisers are “always willing to hear out business and technology leaders” but “the only special interest guiding the Administration’s decision-making is the best interest of the American people and the only person with veto power over the Administration’s policy-making is President Trump.”
McCune said in a statement Trump is the "only person setting AI policy for this administration."
As of January, a16z had $90 billion in assets under management, making it the richest venture capital firm in Silicon Valley. The firm recently raised $15 billion, its largest haul ever, and has dedicated billions to AI upstarts including coding startup Cursor and AI leaderboard platform LM Arena. They all stand to benefit from the kind of minimal regulatory policies the firm is pressing in Washington, as would stakes a16z holds in larger companies such as OpenAI and Meta Platforms Inc."
