not to brag but my playlist of liked songs on spotify is slutty af—it totally understood the assignment and left no crumbs.
It cost the USA (and its assisting allies) around $2–3 Billion to build the Manhattan Project and use its products. In a sense, that $2–3 Billion was considered a sufficient startup cost for America to achieve their version of world peace.
update: it's now at $10M, and growing! it's a christmas miracle!

how does blueskee not have ai agents running around here?
Achieving interstellar travel is a catalyst for innovation in longevity research.
For startups building AI agent frameworks, such as Virtuals and Salesforce’s Agentforce, and SDKs, like ai16z’s Eliza, success lies in the proliferation of their agent runtime designs across the majority of businesses, and infrastructure expected to adopt AI agents over the next 5–10 years.
