I like these “The Essential” series @nytimes is running, because they make an good faith, generous effort to introduce younger readers to the 20th century writers I love—at a time when contemporary fiction, essay-writing, and journalism is abjectly bad. nytimes.com/article/joan-d…

It's actually not. The best way to raise capital is to have a clear plan and execute it well, not to play signaling games. Besides, even if your signaling games work, then congrats, you've just closed the dumbest money in VC.
Unironically the best way to raise capital is to tell VCs you don’t need any. Raising for VR is particular hard so current @EarthlingVC strategy is pushing teams to profitability asap and riding the tailwinds (2 of 8 down, 6 to go)

RIP Dan Dennett. He stoked the intellectual curiosity, and enriched the thinking, of tons of people. Here's a conversation I had with him 20+ years ago. We disagreed about lots but did so constructively; I think the light to heat ratio here is pretty high. youtu.be/RO7fro4frKk?fe…
My dear and long time friend Daniel Dennett passed away today. He was a towering figure in philosophy and in particular in the philosophy of AI. Now we have only memories of him. [[And do keep up to date with your correspondence--I have a 30 day old email from him in my inbox…
The great Daniel Dennett has died. Terribly sad news. He was a wonderful philosopher and a wonderful human being. I will miss him greatly as I know so many others will too. dailynous.com/2024/04/19/dan…
Dan Dennett was one of the cleverest writers I’ve ever read, period. Whether you agreed with him or not, he didn’t just make you think but made you sweat while doing it. We are so much the poorer for the loss of such an intensely provocative thinker and writer.
Oh lord, Dan Dennett has died. That's a huge loss to the intellectosphere. He ruffled lots of feathers and often divided opinion, but he was a phenomenal thinker and always worth listening to. And a fabulous writer.
Such sad news. He was a brilliant philosopher who had a profound influence on cognitive science. And he was hugely supportive to young scholars—including me, long ago. A great loss. dailynous.com/2024/04/19/dan…
Very sad to hear that Daniel Dennett passed away. I interviewed him back in 2017, after the publication of his latest book, and he offered a very prescient warning about AI systems that might seem incredibly clever but work in mysterious ways: technologyreview.com/2017/04/11/511…
Very sad news indeed to hear that Dan Dennett has passed. His collection with Hofstadter, Mind’s I, played a big role in bringing me into the cognitive sciences, and he was always inspirational and provocative as a writer and a thinker. Losing Dan and Danny, two of our…
Really saddened by the news of Professor Dennett; I read Consciousness Explained at a young age and it had a profound effect on me and is likely very influential in where I've landed in life. Judging by the reaction of the academic side of my timeline, he lived a very full life
