I'm a writer focused on AI and power in the new world technology is making. You probably know me through my newsletter, The Leverage, read by over 35,000 investors, founders, and creative technologists who want to understand who wins and loses in Silicon Valley.
Most importantly, I care about technology as a human enterprise. I'm spending my one wild and precious life in this industry because I believe we sit at the elbow of the J-curve; a moment of pessimism and despair, politically and economically intense, that hits right before we (potentially) usher in wild abundance. By a strange artifact of history, that future is being decided by a few hundred businesses, mostly in Silicon Valley. Understand those companies and you understand what happens to the rest of us. I've spent five years and over a million words in that pursuit, and I've been right more than 90% of the time.
I write and code and speak and throw parties, all to nudge my community toward a future worth building. Subscribe to the newsletter to join us.
