I liked this analysis a lot.
However, OpenAI is a bad example of the future vision paradigm. In fact it fits 1/6 of the characteristics they identify in this paradigm. A better example would be something like Tesla.
I would say OpenAIs backing of the GPT model family in itsself is a better example of the future paradigm than anything to do with OpenAIs founding or non profit status that sequoia discuss. Going all in on GPT gave them a big headstart (although google should have been fighting much earlier if they had listened to internal researchers).
- hatsix 2y agoiPhone and Vision Pro are also not future vision. Both enter a market at the high end, with established competitors. BlackBerry and Nokia had smart phones that were functionally equivalent, but they were marketed towards business users and worked best with corporate integration. Apple delivered a phone that focused on personal use. Vision Pro is entering market where the competitors are focused solely on gaming or augmented work (hololens) with a product that doesn't do either, yet... but everyone is starry-eyed about what it might enable, some day. 1980s Apple, otoh, fully in the nose.
- spxneo 2y agonot sure if Tesla is really the future of EV they are in serious trouble
- disgruntledphd2 2y agoThey definitely are, but they took EVs from a dream to a product that every car maker is looking at. Regardless of how well I think they've executed against the vision, I think that they are a good example.
