.@bchesky says AI is the biggest opportunity for creative people in his lifetime.
"I'm really worried that an entire generation of designers, artists, and creative people are going to decide to sit out AI."
"The photo and video generation models allow you to design incredibly rich interfaces. This is the best time in the world for designers and creative people to get involved."
"We're about to see the explosion of analog."
@garyvee wants to open a restaurant that makes you check your phone in at the door and seats you at communal tables.
"Extreme AI is creating extreme analog. I think it's a barbell."
"I could not be more interested in physical retail, event-driven businesses, in concerts and venues."
"There are a lot of interesting non-digital realities that are coming as a countermove to the insanity of AI advancements."
"We're literally within a half decade of not believing a single video that's on the internet. In 5 years, if we're having this interview, most of the audience is trying to figure out if we're real or not."
"That is very real, and has substantial counter-opportunities."
"Any real entrepreneur, they're not crying about AI killing them. They're curious about how AI at scale is going to create opportunity for them."
A great demo that will not work in actual production. Media buying agents have existed in demo form for the last 2 years, the issue has not been connecting to the Meta API and letting LLMs run random strategies.
This is literally just a more complicated version of the ads manager itself.
As someone that's worked with 100s of clients to help them get an ROI from Meta ads....... the business manager itself is already complex as it is, 90% of biz owners can NOT navigate it & still can not install a pixel.
Creating another fancy AI ads manager + dashboard solves absolutely nothing. This is just another tool people will need to learn, debug/diagnose and optimise. Not going to happen.
Another fancy tool that absolutely no one is going to use or get ROI from.
Stripe CEO @patrickc predicts software will shift from "mass-produced, industrial scale" made "years beforehand" to bespoke, custom software created the moment you need it.
"Up until now, the economics of software have been conceived of as fixed cost, then infinitely monetized. That has these kinds winner-take-all dynamics."
"But once there are inference costs and custom creation involved, it really shifts."
A declared regime change war of choice for "freedom" of the Iranian people. A regional war in a matter of hours. American lives at risk. A massive depletion of military stockpiles on behalf of Israel
Most importantly: The most profound campaign betrayal in modern US history
John: AI is actually doing very little for the economy right now. It's doing a lot for the markets, but in terms of the actual economic impact of AI, it's very low.
If you add up the actual revenues from the AI labs, you're talking about $40 billion. Maybe there's like a 5x multiple on that, and so you're generating $200 billion of GDP on top of those tokens. But that's just not that much in the grand scheme of America's actual GDP.
There's this disconnect between the market, which is pricing future GDP, future cash flows, future value creation. Then you have what is actually driving GDP, and then you have the actual workforce and what Americans do.
What's actually holding up the American economy? It's healthcare jobs. The number of people that are software developers is less than 1% of America. The number of people that work at tech companies broadly is less than 10%.
Mark Cuban’s advice to people trying to get into AI is simple. help businesses implement.
SMBs have budget but zero expertise. they’re not waiting for AGI. they’re waiting for someone to show them what’s possible.
what’s stopping you from being the one they call?
