I have the complete opposite take to the person who wrote this article. Most business books are collections of experiences with the takeaways that a person had based on those experiences, whether strategy, market dynamics of the time, uniqu

Reduced the number of cases by 99%* That's amazing and I am very happy I live in a world where someone helped that many people, regardless of who you compare their accomplishments to.

With that argument, you should use a “real” lawyer, or coder, or designer, or strategy consultant. Instead of an indifferent shrug, I would argue that paying attention to the fact that all of the things you mentioned are available now and p

It’s just the same thing as a take profit in the stock market. Intellectually it seems reasonable but because a lot of the bets go straight down (never raise another round for that take profit opportunity) you need a higher multiple of the

The wild thing was this is what people "wanted" - The agreeableness came from heavier weighted user signals, not from OpenAI. The users give better feedback when the answers positively respond to their questions. - The most common

I know the anthropomorphizing feels inaccurate to some. What is the "correct" way to describe this in one word other than "personality"? We use "respond" in programming, but a machine can't really "re

It's just how you define "want." They a-b tested the algo vs chronological feed and the algo one because more people used it. It's just stated vs revealed preference. As a business, who's goal is to make money, does

I think you're missing what makes consumer companies valuable. It's all about distribution. They get way more data (usage, browsing, etc.), they get 3.5 billion users (this is the main thing) and they get to be the interface for a

Now ask your 10 year old to have a realtime conversation with you in over 50 languages in a few seconds with a perfect accent. I don't think it's very useful to think of the thing that humans/AI is the worst at and index on t

You may not like them, as another poster said, it's all subjective. That doesn't mean they aren't incredibly good at what they do and that millions (billions) of people have tried to do what they have and failed. One of the r

Totally agree. This is what Instagram and YouTube did and we got MrBeast and Kylie Jenner making billions of dollars. The cost of creating content is tapping record on your phone and the traditional "quality" as defined by visuals

So what you're saying is that people need to be aware of software being an iterative process and that maintainers of libraries can't know in advance all the things that might come up in 4 years time? I don't know of any softw

I have no idea if this will be as big as an iPhone, but the early iPhone apps and development followed a similar trajectory. Viral flashlight apps and others that then got integrated into the OS, similar to API wrappers and viral photo make

There no way to find out about anything if people don't advertise. Make a website? Advertising. Wear a band T-Shirt? Advertising. Make a website called Hacker News as VC firm? Advertising.

My view is that the model is not the value. GPT-4o is not at the top of most LLM leaderboards, but ChatGPT is at the top of the AI product list. So far, there is at most a few months' gap between state-of-the-art and commodity, if for

Ironically, the common (used to be common?) trope about foundation models being picks and shovels and LLM wrappers having no values is probably backwards. ChatGPT is the most valuable AI product and it's just a wrapper around an underl
