I wasn’t allowed to watch much media as a kid but some exceptions were made. Frank Capra’s oeuvre was one of those exceptions. Mr Smith Goes to Washington was a classic of civic duty. And now as a Montana citizen it has special meaning to me. The film is about a naive, newly appointed United States […]

Day 1546 and Present Ephemera
I am backing off some of my “current thing” hyper vigilance for a moment. I need to shake off the noise and find my signal. The band of possibilities is simply so wide that it feels pointless to react. Who you are will determine everything from here. You must go into the future based on […]
Welcome to the Q3 2024 update for chaotic.capital LPs. I’m choosing to post a selection of our reporting publicly so prospective founders and LPs can see our thinking. You may be invested in chaotic.capital because we invest in ideas that adapt humanity to our new chaotic era. Enabling resilience in the face of unexpected & […]
Last night I received a push alert and then a flurry of excited text messages and phone calls. California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed the controversial SB-1047 artificial intelligence bill. Twitter lit up with joyful streams of relief and praise for this decision. Everyone from politicians, economists, researchers, academic luminaries, open source collectives, founders and venture […]
The dead internet theory (or conspiracy theory if you must) supposes that machine generated content outweighs human contributions. I don’t think we are there just yet but I am betting that artificial intelligence speeds up the process of replacing human content in areas where it’s unnecessary.

Day 1291 and Gabby, Steve, and Donald

I’ve been small “l” libertarian for most of my adult life. I’ve vote for quite a few Democrats as I opposed neoconservatism. I registered Republican […]
An estimated 50% of the global population is participating in elections across 60 countries. That includes as supra-national entities like the European Union holding major elections. Naturally this made anyone who has to do any type of planning anxious. Concerns about access to compute and adequate energy, overbearing and inconsistent regulatory regimes impacting exits, growth […]
I don’t want to make this into a whole thing but the Republicans have posted the GOP party platform. The Silicon Diaspora is now such an important constituency we’ve got enough sway to move policy. A network state of e/acc, crypto builders, Bitcoiners, El Segundo hardware startups, deep tech autists and white pilled Space dorks […]

Day 1254 and Zipppp
I hadn’t expected to have a busy day. I’m really not enjoying having Covid. It’s an inconvenience and it sucks. But suddenly I was getting all good news from all sides. A startup with a round. Another founder preparing to go out for an enviable raise with exceptional traction. An SPV for a round everyone […]
