💵 Actively AI has raised $22.5 million for its "reasoning" AI salesperson The New York-based startup Actively AI, founded in 2022, is developing a system that "screens" a company's data to find the most valuable potential clients. The product operates on a combination of internal models with reasoning models from OpenAI and Anthropic. The founders call this type of AI model the key to success. In a recent funding round, Actively AI raised $17.5 million. Combined with the seed round, the total amount of investments reached $22.5 million. Such modest guys in the photo, yet they're doing such great things! Take a page out of their book! 🤩 @Skynet_Dreams

💀 At Google DeepMind, they warned that AGI could destroy humanity The authors of a 145-page paper, including DeepMind co-founder Shane Legg, believe that artificial intelligence capable of performing tasks at human-level could emerge by 2030. The paper states that the advent of AGI could create "existential risks" that could "permanently eliminate humanity." They also described the plausible process of recursive self-improvement, where artificial intelligence explores itself to create more advanced AI systems. What do you think? "Permanently eliminate humanity" sounds harsh; I believe it's not forever and not for everyone, but rather for those who can't adapt. So don't fall behind—adapt! @Skynet_Dreams

🤩 Runway Gen-4 has been released Runway claims that Gen-4 can generate videos with even greater control over characters and the environments surrounding them. To create a cohesive video, only a single reference image is needed. I think this is incredibly beautiful and amazing and don’t quite understand the opponents of using AI in creativity. It’s especially surprising to see this attitude among young people, as they seem to be interested in everything new and modern 😐 @Skynet_Dreams

🏃‍♂️ A startup is a marathon If you're building a startup with the aim of a quick sale or just to raise half a million and enjoy life on that money for a couple of years, chances are, it won't work out. While earlier startups aimed to break even in 5-7 years, investors now understand that liquidity might take 10-12 years. This means you need to build a sustainable business, not just a trendy project. Here’s what that looks like: 📌 Growth is the most important metric for investors. If you're just starting out, focus on metrics that show growth. Eventually, you'll need sales and revenue growth, no matter what. 📌 Your product should sell itself. If you constantly have to pump money into marketing and the moment you stop, the customer flow dries up, that’s a warning sign. 📌 Control your expenses. Investor money is business money, not your personal spending money. And of course, choose a path that you can stick with for 10 years. Just ask yourself: what am I willing to do even if I’m not getting paid for it? What would you be proud of and say, "I did this"? 🍸 @Skynet_Dreams

👨‍🦳 The Helper Bees is a service designed to address the problems faced by elderly people. The founders have partnered with thousands of diverse contractors, care agencies, and home repair services, establishing legal and financial interactions with them, and they resell these services to insurance and similar organizations that are obligated to care for the elderly. This creates a "one-stop-shop" experience for them across the country and in all areas of service. For providers, it results in many centralized job orders. For elderly individuals, it means higher quality work, as there is a lot at stake for large platforms; negative reviews can be detrimental. In a recent funding round, The Helper Bees raised $35 million in investments. This is a very appropriate solution to a real problem, by the way, without any AI involved. @Skynet_Dreams
