As a an engineer, I find it hard to justify creating a product without a "zero to one" or "order of magnitude better than competition" justification. The fact that Qasim basically just re-packaged the GPT3 API into a web interface and some Stripe billing, and was able to make money is surprising to me, and is basically something I would never consider doing. It's the kind of project I would almost be embarrassed of telling other people about. But that's the wrong attitude, because, he made money and exited, right? I suppose the value add Qasim truly offered was in the user acquisition and marketing. I'm curious how much the acquisition was for. Would companies really pay > $5m for a GPT3 API frontend? Maybe? I've seen dumber decisions made.
