“Pangram is integrating with Substack for AI detection. There's a great opportunity to create an 'AI safety and research lab' that builds self improving bot-detection-defeating-agents in order to protect us from bots which defeat bot detectors.”

“In venture capital you can't really build a brand or reputation on performance. You can't advertise competence via returns. It just takes too long... Instead, VCs have to cultivate brands for themselves and their firms through omnipresence: they and their takes have to be everywhere always...
