It’s now been 9-10 months since LLMs really entered the larger consciousness of Silicon Valley.
We went through the cycle of euphoria and are now catching ourselves for breath.
At this juncture, there are many who believe that LLMs are interesting but ultimately are an extension of current mechanisms and products. Their key fallacy is to box LLMs into our understanding of existing technologies.
The most mistaken analogy is to classify it as a new information retrieval (read: search engine) system. After all, it responds to queries with answers!
This mistaken comparison brings forth comparisons like "indexing", "retrieval", "ranking".
The more expansive (and poorly understood) view is to recognize that LLMs are actually reasoning engines. The abilities here are not deeply understood or appreciated yet.
We are starting to see developers figure out what is possible by experimenting by throwing a lot of mud at the wall and seeing what sticks.
This part isn’t always pretty but a necessary aspect of turning the technology over and over in our hands till we understand what it can do.
This is particularly the case with technology like LLMs that demonstrate wild emergent properties.
Agents, Planning, Reasoning etc. are all in their infancy but it is abundantly clear that we are still scratching the surface of what we can build with these new capabilities.
The more time I spend looking at all this — the more I am deeply convinced that we are just at the beginning of a fundamentally new way of computing.
I don’t claim to know where exactly the value will accrue etc. etc. but it’s crazy to me that anyone would believe that this isn’t the best time to build in a long long time.

There’s never a vision too big or a target too far out of reach. When it seems distant or impossible raise your awareness and effort to match the goal. A sucker will tell you it’s impossible, but a person who’s accomplished something big at some point will tell you to get to work and figure it out. Roll call!
It's impossible to not be gut punched as a founder of an NFT project. (metaphor)
You will feel the weight of constant scrutiny.
No matter how much you accomplish, there will always be someone questioning your efforts.
In the pursuit of eternal value and an ever-rising floor, it seems impossible to satisfy everyone.
But here's the secret: Don't let that voice in your head tear you down with self-doubt.
Embrace criticism with humility, but never let it define your worth.
You won't always hit the mark, and that's okay. The key is to keep pushing, adapting, and never settling for comfort.
Being a founder is one of the most challenging jobs, where nothing you do will ever be enough.
But remember, you have the power to grow, learn, and ultimately succeed.
If you don't adapt, you will get eaten alive.
So, keep going. Don't give up.
