Ana Kasparian Exposes where the money California is spending on homelessness is going It’s being funneled into NGO’s & Executives are making $500k a year each “Just experiencing what I've seen on the ground in California has made me question a lot about left wing ideology” “We spent $13 billion in Los Angeles alone last year to combat homelessness. You wanna know where that money went? That money went to these trash nonprofits who have a bunch of executives making half a million a year. You're working for a nonprofit dealing with homelessness. That's my money. That's my parents' money. Okay, that is the hardworking people of California paying incredibly high taxes that go to what? So, yeah. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it and honestly just experiencing what I've seen on the ground in California has made me question a lot about left wing ideology.”

Here is an investor report with a different prompt: Investor-Focused AI & Tech Report: December 22, 2025 Dear Investors, This refreshed report incorporates the latest signals from investor networks and the broader ecosystem. Activity in the specified lists was lighter in the immediate 24 hours, with standout posts highlighting funding momentum, AI tools, and emerging infrastructure plays. Capital continues to concentrate in AI, with vertical applications and infrastructure leading, amid macro caution from tariffs and stable rates. 1. Top 10 Posts from the Past 24 Hours Key posts with relevance to investment theses (links included where available): Blume Ventures announced PowerUp Money's $12M raise: https://t.co/GbAOTnHWOV — Investors should care: Fast-growing fintech advisory platform tracking massive AUM, signaling retail investment boom in India. Antler India shared insights on portfolio fundraising growth: https://t.co/zFBxup1nTG — Investors should care: Early-stage ecosystem heating up in emerging markets. Kae Capital highlighted PowerUp Money investment: https://t.co/4N9WsWYTeC — Investors should care: Democratizing mutual fund access at scale. East Ventures on women D2C founders in SEA: https://t.co/Rm6UVuoJaB — Investors should care: Consumer AI and branding strategies in high-growth regions.

James L H Bartlett on plastic upcycling breakthrough: https://t.co/fcBdLea6qw — Investors should care: Sustainability tech with materials potential. Ryan Endacott vibe coding meme (quoted post): https://t.co/sNAinbzXoe — Investors should care: Cultural shift toward rapid prototyping in AI era. 2. Trends for Investors AI captured ~50% of global VC in 2025 (~$225B+ total), with megarounds (> $500M) taking 58%. Foundation models alone ~$80B. Vertical AI (health, ops) outperforming horizontal. Infrastructure (compute, photonics) critical amid efficiency pressures. Concentration high: top firms (Lightspeed, a16z) dominate. 3. Small Company Focus Fast risers/new entrants: PowerUp Money ($12M, fintech advisory, rapid user/AUM growth). Resolve AI (~$1B valuation post-Series A, autonomous ops). Many pre-unicorn AI tools/infra plays surfacing in lists (e.g., agentic SME tools). Signals mirror Genspark-style explosions in consumer/enterprise AI. 4. Alignment with Robert Scoble's Thesis Signals reinforce multiple predictions: BCIs: Ongoing advances (e.g., Columbia BISC-like minimally invasive tech); Sam Altman’s Merge Labs spinout competing with Neuralink. AGI/Exponential AIs: Massive model funding; world models/planning focus. Robotaxis/Holodecks: Quiet but infrastructure (photonics, efficient compute) building. Medical/Enhancement: Vertical health AI surging. AI-Run Businesses: Agent platforms emerging. Entertainment/Virtual Beings: Creative AI tools viral. Semiconductors: Photonics momentum; efficient chips. 5. Macro Trends Trump tariffs driving inflation/uncertainty (e.g., costs up, potential recession signals). Fed rates stable post-cuts; sentiment cautious, favoring resilient AI infra. Potential 2026 adjustments if tariffs challenged. 6. Small Things We Might Miss Emerging market fintech surges (e.g., India advisory platforms). Agent framework updates (Embabel). Sustainability breakthroughs (plastic catalysts). 7. Anything New PowerUp Money $12M (fintech scalability). Merge Labs (Altman BCI spinout). Ongoing photonics ramps. 8. World-Changing Entrepreneurs Prateek Jindal (PowerUp Money): Democratizing wealth in emerging markets. Yann LeCun/Naveen Rao types in novel architectures. BCI pioneers advancing non-invasive/high-bandwidth. Edges in theses remain strong—early positioning in infra/agents/BCI could compound. Refining signals ongoing.

Elon Musk: A lot of the negativity stems from the axiomatic flaw that the economic pie is static, that it's a zero-sum game. “At my first company I didn't have any money, I just had $100,000 in student debt. That was a company in the very early days, of the Internet, called Zip2. But for all companies subsequently, I basically doubled down. I took the money from Zip2, invested it in X.com-PayPal, and then took the PayPal money, invested that in creating Tesla and SpaceX. It didn't feel right that I should ask investors to invest if I was not prepared to invest my own money. I think the whole other people's money thing is not right. You want to have skin in the game. As a result of that, I own a lot of shares in the company. And the better the company does, the more valuable the shares are. But that's because the pie has grown. And so you have to say what's at the root of a lot of the negativity is an axiomatic flaw. That the pie is static, that it's a zero-sum game, that if someone else succeeds, it's because they took more than their fair share of this fixed pie. But it's not a fixed pie. Obviously, the economic pie has grown considerably from what it was in the past. The output of goods and services, the productivity per person is dramatically greater than it has been in the past. So when you create a new company and you create new products and services, you're growing the amount of goods and services available to people. So you've not taken anything away from anyone. You've created something new and you've given people new products and services they didn't have before. We didn't use to have an iPhone, we didn't use to have computers. We didn't use to have cars or be able to fly in airplanes. We didn't use to have many of the life-saving medicines that we have today. These are all new things. The pie has grown tremendously.” From: Interview with Ben Shapiro, January 24, 2024

I doubt that anything resembling genuine AGI is within reach of current AI tools—Terrence Tao “Perhaps this can be resolved by the realization that while cleverness and intelligence are somewhat correlated traits for humans, they are much more decoupled for AI tools (which are often optimized for cleverness), and viewing the current generation of such tools primarily as a stochastic generator of sometimes clever - and often useful - thoughts and outputs may be a more productive perspective when trying to use them to solve difficult problems.”

Decart XR 💡1/3: An interaction prototype I built on top of @DecartAI RealTime World Transformation App for Quest. I often feel the "wow" of AI style transfer fades the moment the result appears (typically as a simple full-screen overaly), which feels passive. I want to move beyond that and facilitate it as magic that players can wield (and real-time model is a perfect fit for this) Made with @DecartAI MirageLSD and hand tracking *Ideally, I’d mask my hands out of the stream for a better “peeking” effect, but I haven't cracked that hack yet!

Trent Reznor reveals how Nine Inch Nails came to find themselves supporting David Bowie on his "Outside Tour" in 1995. "I didn't know him, but I had left every possible breadcrumb of flattery in any interview I'd ever done... We had just finished a long wave of touring. We were burnt out. I wasn't in the best shape personally, and we'd just said we have to take some time off. The phone rings... David Bowie [tells me he] just did an album with [Brian] Eno, saying, 'It's very weird. It's not what the audience wants, but it's what I need to do. And the only band I'd want to be onstage with is you guys. Would you like to go on a tour this summer?' Before he finishes the sentence, [I respond] 'Yes, of course.' "We were faced with a strange predicament at that time, because at that moment Nine Inch Nails were a bigger concert draw than David Bowie, as impossible as that seems. And there was no possible way that David Bowie's gonna play before Nine Inch Nails. So, I talked it over with David: 'Maybe both bands join the stage at the same time, then I'll stay for a song with you guys and it morphs into your show...' He was completely up for it and it worked. It became a way to make it less about two bands on tour, and more about a unique experience." 📸: Kevin Mazur / Getty Images
