Naturally Artificial by Sergey Osipov
Founder to founder talks in the AI era where the boundaries between natural and artificial are dissolving
I'm Sergey Osipov, tech entrepreneur and investor. Founded 20+ ventures, including a unicorn. Learned that the best insights come from real chat, not polished prezos. Current projects: Playsense.agency (2022), Placy.ai (2024), Naturally Artificial (2026)
We talk about what actually matters: building in the age of AI, raising capital in the EU when the rules keep shifting, and strategy for an era that's rewriting everything we know about business. Founders sharing hard-earned wisdom here
Episodes are in English and Russian, the main languages of my folks
This is the founders' table. Pull up a chair

He run Call of Duty, Destiny, World of Tanks Blitz. 17 years at Activision, 10 at Wargaming
When I found Thaine Lyman is in Warsaw, I got on a plane. We talked about where GameDev is really going, who survives, and what to do if you're building something right now. His take: worst time to raise money. Best time to build

Funny pattern. Every cycle, the bottleneck moves one layer down the stack. Talent → infra → attention → compute → what’s next?
→ 2010: startups raised to hire developers
→ 2015: startups raised to rent AWS
→ 2020: startups raised to buy clicks
→ 2026: startups raise to buy tokens
→ 2030: startups raise to buy electricity? Data? Trust?
Your bet for 2030?👇

A new problem: too many AI agents
A year ago, companies begged staff to use AI. Some firms pay bonuses for burning the most tokens. Mission accomplished. Now we're drowning. Meet AI agent sprawl!
Imagine 5k people corp. Dozens of new agents created daily. They plugged into corp mail. Customer data. Internal docs. Some duplicate each other. Some are security holes. All of them burn tokens/cash
Gartner says the Fortune 500 will soon run 150,000 agents that listen, speak, and act (like Placy.ai 👋). 150k. Bigger than most armies! They write emails. Sign SaaS contracts. Ping the CEO at 6am…
My bet: the next startup wave will be kill switches. The DevOps of agents. Boring on a pitch deck. Gold in five years. Anyone already building this? Drop a comment👇

Amazing story from a founder of 2 unicorns Uri Levin:
There was a very successful CEO in New York who was constantly ignoring the media and never gave an interview, not even one. Until one day a reporter from the New York Times calls him up and did answer. The reporter asked him for 2 minutes and as he was in a pretty good mood after a very successful year, he agreed.
The first question that the reporter asked was - how you become such a successful CEO, and the CEO replied "Two words - right decisions". Ok, but how do you know how to make those right decisions the reported asked? He replied "One word - experience!". The reporter then went deeper - how do you gain this experience? and the CEO replied "Two words - wrong decisions."
Second time entrepreneur have way higher likelihood of being successful, regardless what happened on the first journey.
I filmed Uri 3 months ago. Watch it on Naturally Artificial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn6nX...

Sam Altman's World (the eyeball-scanning project) is integrating with Tinder. Yes, to verify human dating against deepfakes
AI profiles already outnumber real ones on some apps. Bots DM you. Bots match with you. Bots write better than most humans! And people reply 💔🙈
The new stack:
Email → Proof of human
Dating→ Proof of human
Comments → Proof of human
Feeds → ?..
Marketplaces → ?..
Hard to believe, but we're arrived. Tinder is writing the first check
The irony? The company that introduced AI to us 3 years ago is now charging for protection against it 👾 Chef's kiss

My guest is Uri Levine: 2x unicorn founder, biz-school professor, author of Fall in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution. This video is a fantastic masterclass for early stage entrepreneurs & investors!
→ VCs are still pricing 2021 reality in a 2026 world. Pace changed. Costs changed. Founders changed
→ PMF isn’t a milestone. It’s a survival test with no scheduled exam date
→ Who apologizes when the algorithm ruins your life?
→ AI-maps & autonomous cars (Waze navigation app is one of the Uri’s unicorns)
→ Crisis as the default mode…
To meet Uri, I drove to a mountain village, passing by Limassol dam. There have been scarce rains in Cyprus the last 3 years. The dam reservoir is empty. No water for the city. Cracked earth is warning about the challenging summer ahead. I flew a drone over it. The footage is in the episode. A metaphor. No reasons to prepare for the crisis. Why? Watch the video

You think the language of the future is words? Cute. Wrong. AI-to-AI language doesn't look like symbols and sounds. It’s geometry. 4,096+ dimensions. One vector hits harder than a novel-length story. Way quicker than English. Sharper. Pure math, no ambiguity (vectors capture semantic relationships mathematically). While you’re sequencing sentences like a caveman, bots are tensor-dancing in latent space
Villeneuve nailed it in the movie Arrival (heptapods didn’t use linear words). Whole concepts, ink circles. Sci-fi Arrival pretty much scripted our future. Ironic, right?

Лидер забирает все. И в марафонах и в маркетплейсах. Если ты N1 в своей нише, то тебя не остановить от роста 30% в год с EBITDA 30%+
Митра Геранин оставил пост CEO av.by и открыто рассказал историю своего сайта автомобильных объявлений. Сегодня N1 в стране с убедительным отрывом от конкурентов. Но в 2017, когда Митра уволился из московского Яндекса и переехал в Минск, все выглядело не так сочно…
Заодно и про марафон в Сахаре, и про нашу островную жизнь узнаете
Смотрите на моем канале. Первая серьезная съемка. Волнуюсь) Как вам формат?
