🔸 Talented and Dedicated Team
Both giants have among the best teams in the world.
(I applied at both and neither bothered interviewing me, lol.)
While many start-ups are scrappier, at best, your advantage is less bureaucracy and fewer decision-makers — not a better team.
🔸 Agile and Scalable Business Model
This is perhaps the ONLY major advantage that start-ups have right now.
Move fast. Figure it out. Make mistakes. The consequences are low.
Or niche down and serve a specific customer in a way the big companies can’t.
So look —
If you’re thinking about building something with AI, make sure you ask yourself which competitive advantages will enable you to win.
Can you niche down, or iterate super quickly?
Create a super-sticky product?
Do something nobody else can?
But above all, I implore you to ask yourself:
How hard is it to copy what you’ve created?
If all you’ve done is slapped a UI and a couple of prompts on top of someone else’s tech stack, you'll have to either dominate a niche or take far bigger risks.
This is how I’m thinking about my businesses, anyhow.
That's all for now.

Have trust in a niche audience.
Even a small group of people who care about what you have to say will multiply your reach and enrich your life faster than you can imagine.
You don't need to be known to everyone to be powerful.
I asked GPT-4 to tell me about the history of OpenAI.
It demonstrated a fascinating ability to reference itself in the process completely unprompted.

Humans don't seek opposing viewpoints enough.
This is why AI is so useful.
We can easily ask for contradictory ideas in a safe environment where nobody is actually going to get mad.
Give your content to a bot. Ask it to challenge you and see what happens.
It's disgusting to me what the AI gold rush mentality is bringing out in people.
Some (not all) creators and influencers are selling snake oil for top dollar.
It's also why I back everything I do with a strong refund guarantee.
But please be discerning about what you pay for.
Attract the right people by being yourself and being consistent.
When you have the right people, give them exactly what they need.
Remove fears and frustrations. Help them attain their goals and aspirations.
Do this, and you can succeed in any business.
