Thanks so much Ryan absolute legend for connecting the Bloomberg dots with Roy and Julieanne. Prolific Linkedin users will relate and understand exactly what I mean here. Through the power of the butterfly effect, I wouldn't be here for if it wasn't for his creation being the underlying platform. The only other kiwi accent I heard was our very own Peter Beck who is proudly flying the kiwi flag in the US alongside plenty others based up here in SF who I will be looking to catch up over the coming days.įinally, I had the privilege of briefly acknowledging Linkedin founder turned investor, Reid, in the flesh. More importantly…the whole point is that it is meant to be hard solving hard valuable problems, will always be hard solving these problems so if you don't want to solve hard valuable problems, you should get out of your start-up/business now. Cliché, sure but as an ambitious founder I can relate.īut is it doom and gloom at the moment with the global economy pulling back in some spaces esp re start-ups looking to capital rasing?…If you ask Sequoia Capital (Alfred Lin) who invested in likes of Apple, Cisco, Google, Instagram, LinkedIn, PayPal, WhatsApp, and Zoom…the answer is nope and more specifically if you have a valuable product, there will always be backing available, regardless of the global economy. But it was Sam's reflection on money not being a driver given he has zero equity in Open AI rather it is just human nature and the want to be useful and work on something that matters which drives. While Brian remarked on a few insights around the speed of AI being one of the challengee, sam also remarked on the risks around AI saying that Elon Musk's concern's are fair. Turn the page now and Airbnb even having to weather the Covid lockdown storm sits at an impressive $80B USD. Some won't know Elon Musk was a founder, originally alongside Sam and others and also that Sam was the head of YCombinator many will know is one of the leading start-up accelerator's in the world and the accelerator which, in 2008, took on Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia who had run out of money were going into debt and had website which had no traffic.

(Ben, you called it bro □)Ī slower than hoped post-pandemic kick start back into start-up life, battered and bruised from it thus pulled into a more political sphere beyond other contract mahi…I'm back in this space to hear from, connect and re-engage with tech thought leaders to understand and preempt trends on our doorstep. That's a sentiment I am hearing loud and clear here in my travels around SF. If your tech start-up isn't thinking about Generative AI right now and role it will play in your start-up, you'll be closing your doors in the very near future. While they function effectively within known problem domains, outside of their controlled laboratory environments, they prove to be unsuccessful. This overlooks the fact that these systems lack genuine ingenuity and the capacity for creative leaps of innovative brilliance. However, when it comes to the excessive hype surrounding generative systems, one can observe a tendency to pretend that they are something entirely novel. Generative systems have the ability to explore iterative and combinatorial permutative states, which is undoubtedly noteworthy. In reality, the concept of generative AI can be seen as an empty echo chamber merely echoing existing patterns of human information. It is important to approach this topic with a logical mindset and recognize that the creative contributions of humans, who generate and post content on the internet, serve as the foundation from which generative systems and GPTs can derive their capabilities. I respectfully disagree with his assessment that the future impact of the INTERNET will be surpassed by generative AI.
