Kevin Ryan / @tferriss on deep tech:
→ 10-year trends - hot now means too late → 2nd order effects - assume trend, then what? → nuclear wasn’t hot - no policy path, pre-capex build out ⇒ we co-lead Valar’s seed → robots will scale - 100-10,000x / single-task / factories first → e-com is solved - nuclear, cancer, energy aren’t.
“There is no next internet” 😂
Same for compute. Let’s build 🦾
