I really do think creativity is our greatest human asset. Understanding human creativity lets us utilize it better and gives us a good model for how we can augment it. I really appreciate @danshipper and @every giving me a platform to share my thoughts!

Excited to be announcing this! In the months since our raise we've been heads down building and growing our team. More updates to come soon!.
We’ve raised a $2M pre-seed to continue building AI tools that augment some of our core human abilities - memory, perception, and synthesis. @betaworks and GMG Ventures led the round with participation from @torch, @grahamandwalker, plus other notable funds and angels.

Language is a proxy for thought. Capabilities unlocked with language (foundational) models have exploded. Combined with what I'm reading and writing, I can start to model my actual thinking. Forget auto-completing sentences. Forget recommending memes. This is what I came for.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how chat isn’t the right AI interface. We need better tools to explain what we need from machines until we can build better intuition engines.

Well, I'm feeling EXTRA glad we didn't decide to go the "agent" route today with the @openai announcement🫣. Still bullish that there's more space for startups to work upstream in the cognitive stack, enhancing human intelligence rather than automating what humans can do already.

We didn't evolve to understand that when language is produced it's not by another human. So, I understand some of the #LaMDA chaos, but I hope it doesn't distract from all of the amazing NON-sentient things we can accomplish.

I've had a lot of conversations recently where people think that augmenting your thinking is niche. How have we come to a point in society where thinking feels niche? When it all clicks and this feels obvious, I hope I've had a hand in helping people see what to me feels obvious.
