@ns123abc You could reframe the discussion that Anthropic is leaning Enterprise vs OpenAI leaning Consumer (hence enterprise level products vs consumer content).

@gochrisjames @MollySOShea Bingo. Unrealized marks are great, but a moment in time and not final.

@shaunmmaguire Horrible

Never quit something with great long term potential just because you can't deal with the stress of the moment.

Love this! Own the outcome.

Coinbase co-founder Brian Armstrong on why the best co-founder disagreements are resolved with a number, not a title:

"It would be a bad move for me to say every time, well I'm the CEO, so I'm making the final call. That's a good recipe to just piss off other people who are working with you."

He and his co-founder agreed on 90-95% of decisions. For the rest, they needed something better than hierarchy.

So they created a simple game: "1 to 5, how much do you care?" played like rock, paper, scissors.

"On three, 1 2 3, we're going to hit, you know, I'm a three, you're a four. All right, let's go your way on this."

The genius is that it exposes what passion alone can't.

You can never tell from an argument how much someone actually cares:

"Sometimes somebody will be like really passionately arguing for something… and then you're like, they're a two out of five. They just love to engage in debate."

So @brian_armstrong added a built-in accountability layer:

Whoever cared more didn't just win the decision — they owned the outcome:

"You care more. Let's go your way, but if it breaks, it's on you to fix it."

When asked what happens if both people are a five out of five, Brian says it essentially never happened once. But if it did, they'd simply flip a coin.

The result?

Faster decisions, no resentment, and conviction paired with responsibility.

You don't need to pull rank to settle a disagreement. You just need a way to measure who cares more.

Incredible context of technology impact in an industry (in this case Hollywood / content production) creating unimaginable growth. In hindsight the dots always connect — the goal is to connect the dots looking forward and make earlier bets now 🎯
