Praise

"Build workflows, not widgets.” The best advice I got at FounderCoHo’s AI event? From Russell Palmer, who’s turning film theory into AI-powered workflows. This Friday, I joined FounderCoHo’s fireside chat with ex-Google Brain/Google DeepMind leaders tackling LLM scaling, biases, and stability (shoutout to Mahesh (Maheswaran) Sathiamoorthy, Ellie Chio, and Jing Conan Wang for sharing hard-won startup + technical insights!). P.P.S FounderCoHo – this is how you spark real innovation. More collabs, please! 🙌
