A new site from a16z. By and for the people building the future. https://t.co/UkaC69Af8g
There was a ton of panic over a16z looking to launch its own media arm. It was overblown.

1. they own https://t.co/HRWkA4N5hT but still redirect to a https://t.co/Bml3Urm2ha subdomain https://t.co/6paDmgcHH0
2. no Twitter feed for it
3. no RSS
4. there's a joke here about a16z not believing Substack or Medium are the "Future" https://t.co/4Uuky6G3tu
"The publication will cover topics that they find compelling with a broad theme of ‘rational optimism’ — something that the firm feels there isn’t enough of in coverage of tech at large.”

The single most advanced law-as-code system I can think of is YouTube's ContentID. Now imagine if ContentID had direct access to your bank account and could put you in jail. That does not seem very... optimistic
