Some news of a personal nature: I've joined NTTVC as executive-in-residence.
Really excited to take all I've learned in 13 years covering business and technology at @bloomberg.com and in my year at Stanford GSB to identify and partner with category-defining startups.
When AI agents summarize the news, 99.7% of users don’t click through.
We wrote a Stanford paper on what that means for the future of journalism and news consumption.
TL;DR? I built a GPT to explain it.

This reminds me of the time that Andy Noel and I wrote a piece about BASF whose headline prompted a senior editor to ask “is this a cryptic crossword clue to which the solution is ‘Nijinsky’?”
The offending headline:
BASF’s Verbund-Locked CEO Hunts Savings Not DuPont-Style Exits

My gast was flabbered.
Surely must be Trollope.
This is a shit story from @jasongale.bsky.social. 💩😉

As Biden visits Angola, seems like as good a time as any to revisit this video we made when I was still at BBG about the belated US efforts to match Chinese investment in the region, and in particular the Lobito railway.
We took a crew down the railway to gauge (pun intended) its strategic value.
Found your post while looking for just that 🤪
At first glance, how do you gauge Pocchetino’s ability to lead a national team? It’s a very different challenge from club management, with a greater emphasis on short-term coaching ability.
Are they mostly Twitter refugees? In which case, a classic Musk misstep in letting them all go?
I suspect one reason people say Bluesky resembles early Twitter is because it was often peppered with posts saying “I’m new here, gonna try it out.”
So anyway, I’m new here, gonna try it out. 👋🏼
I used to be a journalist, now I’m at business school working to do something else. 👨🎓
