## Resource

This week we dig into the viral Citrini Research "2028 Global Intelligence Crisis" memo, a scenario written from the future that rattled public markets and sparked a real conversation about what happens when AI works exactly as promised. We also highlight a great StrictlyVC Download episode with Stacy Brown-Philpot, founder of Cherryrock Capital, on what it takes to win at Series A in today's market. We close with a LinkedIn post from Alex Pall of Mantis Venture Capital on 2021-vintage founders hitting a first-principles reset in the age of AI.
