AI Startups Declare ‘Boomer Thinking’ Illegal, Summon Marshmallow Overlords
KEY POINTS
- •Kylan Gibbs launched a Silicon Valley accelerator in January to back up to 30 new AI startups focused on fresh consumer experiences.
- •Particle’s CEO, Sara Beykpour, promotes ditching 'boomer thinking' in favor of AI-powered news formats with podcast clips linked to topics.
- •Luvu’s fitness app launched in August 2025, uses AI marshmallow trainers to boost user retention by up to three times industry averages.
Kylan Gibbs, ex-Google DeepMind wizard, moonwalks past AI’s boring Phase 1 efficiency gains to launch Inworld, a Silicon Valley accelerator backing 30 startups riding AI's 'Second Wave'—because just cutting costs is sooo 2023. Backers include VC giants Khosla Ventures and Lightspeed, plus top cats from OpenAI, Google, and Stripe. Particle’s CEO Sara Beykpour, proudly a millennial, actively bans 'boomer thinking' at meetings while they deploy AI to slice podcast clips like a DJ at Davos-Trump mashup parties. Fitness app Luvu’s AI 'marshmallow' boss stalks 250K users with hyper-personalized notifications, coaching proper squats and snarky 'mean marshmallow' modes. Meanwhile, Social Sims game Status has 3 million players role-playing Hogwarts kids who get AI roast parties for missing penalty kicks. If this isn’t the tech dystopia we deserve, what is?

Forget saving money, Silicon Valley’s new plan is to hypnotize you with AI marshmallows sending passive-aggressive workout texts and podcast snack attacks. Boomer thinking outlawed, apparently.
Startups are now using AI to invent personal trainers who judge your knees and cast AI spells on your social life. Welcome to 2050.
The Second Wave of AI means your podcast clips come pre-digested and your fitness coach is a sass-master marshmallow with revenge algorithms.
