Startups I'd Like to Fund

> Maybe machine learning can help distinguish the important e-mail I care about. Is your startup taking a fresh look at e-mail? Great!

Google has been doing this for years, automatically sorting your inbox for you.

> Why can’t we aggregate great comments from different sites, based on what I’m interested in? Where is Big Data when you need it? Twitter has failed miserably at solving that problem.

Companies are deliberately sequestering their data and preventing it from being scraped, because that data is a valuable asset.

> Talking about cool technologies, I find Machine Learning fascinating. It’s entirely possible that only a few years from now, programming will become irrelevant, replaced with feeding huge amount of data to all kinds of neural networks.

This doesn't even mean anything. What do you think all those magical AIs are made of? Computer programs, written by a programmer.
