I think most people who see ChatGPT and think "Huh, neat, but not really more than a toy" aren't playing forward the 6-18 months it takes scaled product teams to start integrating LLMs into a few pilot projects and then 2~4 product cycles, after which it will be in *so much.*

Blockbuster laughed us out of their offices. We were crushed, desperate and out of options.

But sometimes, the only way out is through.
