Summary

In this episode of Tribe Talkin': Facebook turns 20. An article by Daivd Swan on Facebook being the poster child for "enshittification". Kiki's founder Toby Thomas-Smith issues an apology. We share what we think of it. "The Founders Dilemma": what to focus on and the customer should be number one. An article in Startup Daily. We have a different view. People are trying to work out the LinkedIn algorithm. We think this explains it: Vu Tran provides great post on "sales velocity". Is a funding frenzy now underway? How safe are Safe Notes? OneVentures closes its first fund with a 4x return. AMSL lands its first customer. OpenAI now "speaking" 100 billion words per day. OpenAI may need "$7 Trillion" of capital. Will Nvidia end up like Cisco? ChatGPT used in relationship finding and advice. Jack tempts fate on Valentines Day. [email protected]
