David reviews the past week in Venture with a special focus on the apparently engineered tweet storm regarding human extinction precipitated by the resignation tweet from Jacob Coxon, a low level Anthropic employee with a 3 month tenure and no educational credentials in CS or AI. David outlines the facts that support a coordinated/media-assisted political narrative and how it threatens the Anthropic IPO. Tune in on Wednesday September 16th when Paul and I will be discussing Unicorns in the Southeast. We’ll be discussing who qualifies, how many there are, what happens to them over time and why we even care. (recorded 9.13.26)
