4 July 1826: Thomas Jefferson, the third #president of the U.S. and John Adams, the second president, die on the same day. They died on the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. #RIP#IndependenceDay#History#OTD#ad https://t.co/1iVZVHwEaT
J-Cal’s advice to founders: “If you partner with OpenAI or Anthropic, they will slit your throat and take your business wholesale. Don't trust them. Use your own models.”
“There is no free pizza. There's no free beer. When somebody like Sam Altman comes to you and says, ‘Here's some free tokens,’ your alarm should go off.
If you follow the Microsoft example, Lotus 1-2-3 and Word Perfect were their partners. They were replaced with Excel. They were replaced, obviously, with Microsoft Word. You don't even know those other two.
That's exactly what OpenAI has to do, and they have no choice but to do that now because they have a trillion-dollar market cap. They must win the application layer.
And Sam Altman went to Y Combinator and he said, ‘We'll give you $2 million worth of free tokens.’
And I came out and I said, ‘Listen, this is nothing personal against Sam. Sam's a very aggressive deal maker and he wants to get access to those startups because he knows, having run Y Combinator, that if he can get their innovations, those founders' latest thoughts about what's around the corner, he can incorporate them into the platform.’
Zuckerberg did the same thing. He said, ‘Hey, I'm going to give people a bunch of access, going to give them money. Come to the Facebook platform.’
Nobody who went to bed with Microsoft in the '80s, Facebook in the 2000s, or Sam Altman now in the 2020s did not wake up with their throat slit.
This is a message to founders. If you partner with any of these people, they will slit your throat and take your business wholesale.
There is nothing to discuss here. Don't trust them. Use your own models.”
@Lina_rays1ya My family knows better than to interfere with law enforcement or drive a car at them while they extricate illegals who don’t belong here.
If I were the Chief Marketing Officer of AMERICA, I’d immediately launch a massive global campaign across every mainstream network with the viral clips of @FIFAWorldCup visitors from around the world discovering our majestic beauty, generous hospitality, big hearted people and overall awesomeness!
The truth the world needs to see. 🇺🇸
