AVCA Couple Of AI Things
1/ USV recruited Spencer Yen about six months ago to help us with USV's "AI Transformation." I wrote this blog post when we launched the search that led us to Spencer.
In about six months, Spencer with the help of my colleagues Nick and Nikhil have completely rebuilt USV's operating system using Claude Code and Tasklet (a USV portfolio company). We have doubled the size of our team at USV without hiring another human.
Spencer published a blog post yesterday about all of this, why, what, and how. You can read it here.
2/ My partner Albert has been thinking deeply about what happens to society when we get Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). He wrote a book about all of this called World After Capital, which he started writing over a decade ago.
Today, he published an economic model that starts to lay out the various scenarios for what will happen to society and our economy in an AGI world.
Albert's model is exactly the kind of thing policy makers should be looking at when they start thinking about how to manage the societal transformation that is underway.

AVCWhat Will Happen In 2025
I've done a lot of these January 1st look forward posts in the 20+ years I've been blogging. I've used many different approaches. I sometimes talk big themes, like I did last year. I sometimes focus on just one thing. And sometimes I just make a bunch of predictions. I am going to do the latter approach today because I feel like it and it's so much fun. 1/ Apple and Google will leverage their existing market power to surpass OpenAI/ChatGPT in consumer AI prompts by the end of 2025. 2/ Waymo w...
