@thetimmorgan I don’t often give stock tips, but when I do…

@thetimmorgan Both can be true. It is crazy. Model quality converges faster than anything Ive ever seen. No lock in and plenty of open source options. No way Anthropic takes everything.

@mikebutcher @thetimmorgan Was it a lie?

[Matt Franklin @mattfprod]

@jasonlk Has been the case for us for the past 2 years.

[Matt Franklin @mattfprod]

@thetimmorgan @OpenAI You’re right it does, a strange coincidence.

[Matt Franklin @mattfprod]

@hnshah Pleased to hear this

[Matt Franklin @mattfprod]

@emollick Wait, what? They’re optimised for math? Ok I’m out.

[Matt Franklin @mattfprod]

@t_blom So you think it sees all the complex business logic, replicates it AND people will trust it not make loads of errors? Yeah I’ll have the other side please.

[Matt Franklin @mattfprod]

@t_blom What this is was never hard to build prior to ChatGPT

@gregisenberg Great summary, but I don’t think it really addresses the point that the hard and valuable bit is the business logic. Companies have been attempting to build their own CRM software for years and it nearly always fails because they don’t actually know what they want.

[Matt Franklin @mattfprod]

I believe there are currently two key skillsets needed in software businesses.

1. Building relationships with customers / potential customers / partners.

2. Building software heavily utilising AI tools.

For both you need the empathy and intelligence to understand the customer’s core problems.

The best can design great solutions, but this is incredibly difficult.

You need to at least have the ability to understand the value of that solution and communicate it effectively.

Everything that needs to be done can be easily handled by people who have at least one of the two.

Tell me I’m wrong.

@jasonlk @PeterJ_Walker I was 100% certain that I would not lose a cofounder by year 4 and I turned out to be correct. Investors often aren’t keen on my methods despite these stats 🤷‍♂️

[Matt Franklin @mattfprod]

@alexgarcia_atx I doubt the 8-9 figure dtc bit has any relevance, suspect the same across business of all sizes.

[Matt Franklin @mattfprod]

@Mqsley Is the “UK is 10-15 years behind US” statement back by any data? I’d be interested to read about that.

Of course it happens but we don’t generally have issues with people dying not being able to heat their homes as the state will support. It’s also not that cold.
