WWDC, Jobs Up Stocks Down, VC Horror Stories, Cars and Planes
The TBPN hosts cover Apple's WWDC AI announcements, a solid US jobs report, market moves, and a viral thread of VC horror stories from founders.
The gist
-
Apple is folding proven AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini into existing products rather than building revolutionary new features.
-
Structured or tranched investments are normal practice, but misrepresenting blended pricing to employees or investors can cross into securities fraud.
-
Founders should reference-check VCs before pitching and keep dull pitches under 30 minutes, since bad meeting behavior is common.
-
172k jobs were added in May with unemployment at 4.3%, suggesting AI-driven mass job losses have not materialized yet.
