I wish it was as easy as a nerd insisting on the technical details rather than the big picture. What we do today with AI is backward-looking automation on a grander and fuzzier scale — lots of money to be made here, but it’s actually the complete opposite of intelligence. I’m stumped on getting this point across (no royal road to geometry?) and without it I have to compete with threatening war chests on the wrong playing field.

I wish I’d qualify the top post more. I’ve previously raised several rounds for a SaaS company. I can get the meetings. But this is Hard Tech, and something no one else is pursuing, and this results in a conversation where they come wholly unprepared and we spend the bulk aligning on what is this thing and why is it different, and if we try to gloss over that there’s no foundation to the claims we make.
