@eliana_jordan I think generally people are getting lazier and putting the burden on the reader of the AI slop.

[Anuj Agrawal @anujagra]

Funny how 'Claude' and 'Gemini' are everyone's new best friend, and 'ChatGPT' sounds like a printer error code.

ChatGPT got there first and still missed the easiest branding layup in tech.

@pcshipp Everyone realized that posting their projects online alone wasn't going to build traffic to their project.

[Anuj Agrawal @anujagra]

@hnshah I actually think it's all the context that hasn't been properly captured historically to leverage AI in a differentiated way.

[Anuj Agrawal @anujagra]

@fin465 Given most of this will be automated eventually once the data and AI capability is more reliable for customer interactions, this is a solid take.

[Anuj Agrawal @anujagra]

@davegerhardt It depends if the CEO came up from Marketing, Sales, Engineering, etc. The ones from Sales won't be able to help themselves. I actually find the technical ones are good at this.

[Anuj Agrawal @anujagra]

I love this concept. Taking everyone away for two days would be the tough part. I've seen most hackathons happen during off-hours / weekends. The ROI of the full 2 days I'm sure would be worth it, but conceptually harder to do with product, customer, and operational deadlines.

[Anuj Agrawal @anujagra]

@emollick Totalt agree. Basic principles can easily be taught or at least guide a user through basic steps.

[Anuj Agrawal @anujagra]

@nicbstme So many use cases for the home. Curious when it will be cost effective to be realistic.

[Anuj Agrawal @anujagra]

@Nithya_Shrii They say you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. Remember that.

[Anuj Agrawal @anujagra]

This will be fascinating to see play out over the coming years.

[Anuj Agrawal @anujagra]

I find Google's AI strategy so interesting.

1) They are having some brain drain on the model development due to their choices on where to invest in the business.

[Anuj Agrawal @anujagra]

4) They can then leaning into the part of the value chain that makes sense. That could be pushing back aggressively into model dev to own a segment of the market.

[Anuj Agrawal @anujagra]

3) It seems smart to me for them to feed the cloud cash cow business while the model dev race continues and they see where things play out.

[Anuj Agrawal @anujagra]

2) But they are the most vertically integrated of all the major frontier devs in terms of TPUs, models, cloud, search.

[Anuj Agrawal @anujagra]

@naval That is true, but a large bulk of potential profitability is in all the other normal day to day use cases.

[Anuj Agrawal @anujagra]

@danmartell Not necessarily. Some people like to be followers and just need effective leadership to maximize their potential and impact. They may never be leaders themselves.

[Anuj Agrawal @anujagra]

@SahilBloom Spot on. Prior experience in something is over-rated unless it is a highly special skill or knowledge set. Invest in people that can identify problems and figure out how to solve them all day long.

[Anuj Agrawal @anujagra]

@alliekmiller On the one hand, I can see how employees will see their AI game as a competitive differentiator in a labor market.

On the other hand, they could make their expertise have a big impact in their existing org/function that will provide bigger benefits to them down the road.

[Anuj Agrawal @anujagra]

@thejustinwelsh Intent and other signals tell you who is ready to buy, but they mask the people who are close to ready to buy. The part of Marketing many people forget about is simply staying top of mind for prospects who aren't triggering any traditional buying signals.
