I'm hiring a founding engineer to build fully automated software companies with me at @RocketableInc.
This sounds crazy to most people, but the trajectory is obvious if you're paying attention. Within a few years, the question won't be "can AI run a software company?" It will be "why would a human?"
"We are past the event horizon; the takeoff has started."
@sama's essay put into words what I'd been feeling for weeks.
But before we talk takeoff, some news: @RocketableInc has raised a $6.5M seed round to acquire and automate SaaS businesses 🚀
From first meeting to funded in less than a week.
It’s been a wild ride already getting to know @alanwells and @RocketableInc.
Best of luck w/ Demo Day!
Most software companies will sprinkle AI throughout their business, hoping to preserve what they do without too much chaos.
Most software companies will be slowly, steadily made obsolete as they cling desperately to their org charts, management fiefdoms, and data silos.
Most software companies don’t have the conviction or the expertise needed to apply what’s coming with AI to its logical conclusion: 0 human employees.
@RocketableInc is not one of those companies.
