Oh boy.

I'm a professional writer. A good one, I can write non-fiction AND novels better than you, or almost anyone.

I can easily suss ChatGPT's junk.

This is different. This is the first time I've seen what the coders mean when they say AI scares them. This... feels alive.

[Siddharth @SidYouNot]

Very real, and insightful!

New essay: LLMs vs. Marketplaces

Many are predicting that LLMs will get between the customer and major marketplaces like Amazon, Airbnb, and DoorDash, destroying their economics in the process.

It's true that LLMs put new pressure on marketplaces, and that some of them will struggle. But many will be just fine.

In the essay I outline which marketplaces are likely to win, and which are likely to lose.

I also lay out a playbook for marketplaces to thrive in the LLM era:

1. Do the hard things that LLMs won’t. You must be a managed marketplace.

2. Build AI search natively into your product. Your customers will expect it.

3. If you have high market share, play hardball with the LLMs. You have more leverage than most people think.

4. Now is not the time to get greedy on monetization. Your margin is ChatGPT's opportunity.

Nothing worse than a "hey how's it going" Slack. It's going badly. Seems like you're about to make it worse. What do you want, man?

15 years on Twitter! What a joyride! Owners, logos, names have changed, but here I am, still going strong. One loyal, non-contributing, high-consumption scroller. 😬

True! It’s also tough hanging/working with people who don’t have a hobby. I’d say they’re off-balanced and at times too narrow minded.

[Gurpriya @GurpriyaSidhu]

Eventually I think the best coping mechanism is a hobby. Your interests will always nurse you back to joy. Reading, writing, playing a sport - find something that brings joy, then spend enough time nurturing it. Rely on it to always help you find your way back.

@WorldWideWob Steph takes shots that other players would immediately be benched for.

Curry has put in the hours in an empty gym taking this exact shot, so that in the biggest moment on the biggest stage, he would be the highest probability shot

most guides about product-market fit tell you how it feels, or what metrics to measure.

my guide explains *how* to achieve product-market fit, step-by-step.

it also includes everything we've learned from taking @posthog from $0 to millions in revenue. https://t.co/63MwVYfThH

TIL the reason Google Maps doesn’t have a “most scenic” walking route option is is force people to walk through low-income communities

@ravihanda @_CJSW Let it be in your bank. For rest of the life let it remind you that you keep selling your principles and others respect to you for 15k and people can buy you for 15k irrespective of the crores of corpus in your bank.

@vikasbardia Very well deserved! Congratulations 🍾

That was quick! Love Twitter for this.

Update on our pure veg fleet —

While we are going to continue to have a fleet for vegetarians, we have decided to remove the on-ground segregation of this fleet on the ground using the colour green. All our riders — both our regular fleet, and our fleet for vegetarians, will wear the colour red.

This means that the fleet meant for vegetarian orders will not be identifiable on the ground (but will show on the app that your veg orders will be served by the veg only fleet).

This will ensure that our red uniform delivery partners are not incorrectly associated with non-veg food, and blocked by any RWAs or societies during any special days… our rider’s physical safety is of paramount importance to us.

We now realise that even some of our customers could get into trouble with their landlords, and that would not be a nice if that happened because of us.

Thanks everyone for talking about this last night. You made us understand the unintended consequences of this rollout. All the love, and all the brickbats were all so useful - and helped us get to this optimal point.

We are always listening, without unnecessary ego, or pride. We look forward to continue serving you.
