i really like the idea of an individual contributor --> being at a company and having a unique skill/insight where only you can do certain things within the company and you are let to focus on those rather than everything else. it probably yields the highest quality work
Biggest red flag I hear from early stage founders?
“We’re working on self-serve onboarding”
Your product currently requires you to talk to every new customer?
That’s a good thing.
@Bencera@steipete@kmcnam1 I woke up today to 10 messages caught by uni’s spam filter thanks god. its very unclear when the agents are working what they do and why they do and how to stop them
.@Collision is bullish on two types of people: high-agency individuals and double majors.
"There are two categories of people I would be super bullish on right now and I think will do incredibly well over the next 10-20 years. First, high-agency people. The people at Stripe who have been talking to customers and know exactly what we should do. It's the people who have that pep in their step and want to go make Stripe better. They are so much more empowered thanks to AI."
"The second is double majors. I think if you understand software and understand finance, or if you understand software and understand marketing, you now can go massively improve the entire marketing funnel for your company. Now, one person can do what would have taken 20 people dredging through all these systems."
"Charlie Munger talked about the importance of being multidisciplinary and multidisciplinary thinking. He thinks getting a functional understanding of many disciplines is not that hard. You can just go read the books now or you can talk to your AI about it. I think multidisciplinary thinkers are going to do incredibly well."
From his appearance on the show last month.
the pace of partnerships, deals, releases, & quiet betrayals in ai right now is genuinely game of thrones coded except the dragons are models & half the houses are funding each other’s wars.
We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.
This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.
however annoying claude and anthropic can be (especially today and last few weeks), i have to admit it's still way ahead of all other models in terms of writing
