## Notes
- Posted about Cognition's raise of over $1B at a $26B valuation, verbatim: "The new world of AI operates at a pace unlike any I've seen in my 2.5 decades in tech. To go from product launch two years ago to a $26B valuation is mind-boggling to me, to say the least. But a valuation doesn't change the work, and the drive continues at an exponential pace!  Onward!" (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/tylermccormick_weve-raised-over-1b-at-a-26b-valuation-activity-7465905125061193728-j30l)
