OpenAI + @Temporalio : Building Durable, Production Ready Agents - Cornelia Davis, Temporal

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The industry is moving from "Agent as a Script" to "Agent as a Durable Service" where state management is handled by the infrastructure.
  2. Wrap your existing API tools in the `activity_as_tool` function to gain automatic retries and execution history.
  3. Reliability is the only moat in the agentic economy. If your agent cannot survive a server restart during a three-day task, it is not ready for the enterprise.

Ben Horowitz on Investing in AI: AI Bubbles, Economic Impact, and VC Acceleration

a16z

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The transition from general-purpose AI to specialized application layers. As foundation models commoditize, value migrates to the "fat tail" of human-centric complexity.
  2. Prioritize building or investing in "DNA of the future" companies that incumbents must eventually acquire to survive. Focus on winning the "point of attack" by staying deep in the technical details.
  3. We are in a unique market where demand growth justifies high valuations. Success over the next year depends on identifying founders who are the absolute best in the world at one specific thing.

It's Time To Build

a16z

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Shift: Infrastructure Invisibility. As core technologies become background noise, value moves from the pipes to the unique experiences built on top of them.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Reject Mediocrity. Audit your product for average features and replace them with high-conviction improvements that competitors are too lazy to attempt.
  3. The Bottom Line: Building is the only way to ensure the future happens. If you do not create the next version of reality, you are stuck living in an outdated vision.

Why Analysts Are Valuing ETH All Wrong

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **L1s are Money, Not Stocks:** Stop trying to fit square pegs (L1s) into round holes (DCF models for companies). Their value accrues like money, through network effects and demand for their monetary properties.
  2. **RSOV is Your New Lens:** Use RSOV to gauge the "stickiness" of capital in an L1 ecosystem. A growing RSOV suggests a strengthening monetary base and potentially a rising valuation floor.
  3. **ETH's RSOV Story:** ETH, when viewed through the RSOV lens, appears undervalued relative to assets like Bitcoin, especially considering catalysts like EIP-4844 ("proto-danksharding") and the growth of its L2 ecosystem, which drives ETH's use as a store of value.
