@timsoulo@ahrefs The discovery ChatGPT vs. Google. Is it possible to say which one is delivering better results?
Google was always positioned as giving you the most relevant sources (optimized). But is ChatGPT able to find more relevant info in those 30% of cases?
I dropped a 5kg plate on my foot at the gym yesterday.
Here are 3 lessons it taught me about running a business:
1. It hurts
2. It was my fault
3. I will probably do it again

@VojtaRocek Co znamená být ready na AI? Že máš adopci uvnitř firmy, nebo že ti zakceleruje business?
Salesforce nebo Atlassian tyhle bodíky asi netrápí a AI implementují jak málokdo, ale stejně jsou ~ -50 % za poslední rok.
Co myslíš že je potřeba pro reakceleraci?
Is anyone building the European Tenex?
Talking to a thousand Fortune 500 execs before breakfast, hiring the most cracked AI engineers in the universe, and larger than the entire alphabet.
Jokes aside, who is doing this in Europe?
@lennysan@ericries Just one more..
The value drift can happen to any of us without realizing until it's too late. I guess sometimes you have to cross the boundaries to find them.
Strong episode.
"A lot of people liked the Lean Startup, but no one ever said it made them cry."
In 16 days, @EricRies's new book Incorruptible comes out.
It's about why you can taste it when your favorite restaurant gets bought by a PE firm, why even Steve Jobs got fired from Apple, and why over 80% of founders get fired within 3 years of taking their company public.
In our real-talk conversation, we discuss:
🔸 "Financial gravity": the force that predictably pushes successful companies into mediocrity
🔸 The Groupon email death spiral every public company eventually runs
🔸 "It is always too early to protect your company. Until it's too late."
🔸 The "governance fortress" Anthropic, Costco, and Patagonia all have—and your company probably doesn't
🔸 Three things founders can do this week to protect their company long-term.

Great @lennysan episode with @ericries on how companies lose their values. He’s a great storyteller, btw.
I think the same thing can happen with personal values too. I just went through it myself.
We all have beliefs about who we are. But one day, you get into a situation you’re not prepared for. Two viewpoints or loyalties clash, so you make a small, logical compromise that feels totally justified in the moment. Then another one. Until you realize you’re acting against your own principles.
Changing priorities over time makes sense. Compromising does too.
But at what point are you no longer adapting and just betraying your values?
Ries gives the Groupon example: sending more emails made more money. One extra email is easy to justify, but you start adding more and more because it makes more money.
But at some point, it all starts falling apart. Where is the line?
I suppose sometimes you have to cross boundaries to actually find them. Especially when they're not clearly defined.
But ofc, if you’re a pharma inhaler company selling yourself to a tobacco company, there probably isn’t much left to clarify. An independent governance that protects the mission doesn't sound that bad now, does it?
And personally, I found some of mine by setting them on fire. It hurts, but you have to reset and come back.
@vaibhavbetter You assume they will have a choice. If FAANG cos start with layoffs and don't hire much in the future, you end up building a startup because nobody is hiring 😅
