"There will be no AI jobpocalypse.

The story that AI will lead to massive unemployment is stoking unnecessary fear. AI — like any other technology — affects jobs, but telling overblown stories of large-scale unemployment is irresponsible and damaging." - Andrew Ng

Want proof that AI isn't just hype? Anthropic's Mythos Preview model was used to identify 271 security issues in FireFox which Mozilla just patched. 271!!!!

Microsoft Edge includes the ability to edit PDFs by adding highlighting and personal notes. Free. Very useful when working with PDFs.

If you use AI to build a product faster but don't rethink how you identify customer needs, you simply build the wrong product faster.

The research paper: https://t.co/vn778o1t2u

[Ron Clabo @ronclabo]

AI research on 515 startups shows that rethinking your entire process around AI leads to 1.9x higher revenue and an 18% boost in customer acquisition. Success comes from applying AI to product development and strategy rather than just basic administrative tasks

In 5 years, AI fluency will be table stakes.
Today, it's a superpower.

Marc Andreessen on why the founder model keeps winning:

"You're much more likely to build something important in the 21st century if you start with a founder and train them on management, than you are to start with the manager and try to train them on being a founder."

"All the old incumbent institutions in the last hundred years that are run by managers... they're all collapsing in trust and credibility because they can't adapt."

"When Mark [Zuckerberg] started Facebook, he had never had a job before. Not only had he not managed people, he had not worked for anybody."

"His learning curve was vertical."

"He spends an enormous amount of time learning how to become better at running these things at large scale. He's still the founder and he's still the innovator and he's still like a fountain of ideas on what to do."

"He's the classic example of the double threat."

"And then what happens is other founders look at that and they're like, 'oh, I could do that.'"

@vlelyavin @signulll Made me laugh but there is a little truth to that. But at the end of the day the PM must have a vision for the product and work hard to reconcile the many different client requests/opinions to that vision. As you say, it’s pretty rare for a client to truly know what they want.

Just in case you still think AI is a "bubble"... It's worth noting that Anthropic revenue is on track for a $19 Billion revenue run rate. $19 BILLION.
The company was founded just 5 years ago.

[Shirin Ghaffary @shiringhaffary]

NEW: Anthropic is on track to surpass $19 billion in revenue run rate, up from $14 bil several weeks ago, a sign of how quickly the company has been growing in the lead up to its conflict w/ the Pentagon https://t.co/Q9WGVzxMpI

Listening to the NVIDIA quarterly earnings call right now. Jensen is driving a key point home to analysts.
For software companies and cloud providers: "compute drives revenue." It's that simple. Revenue growth now requires sustained capex investment. Full stop.

If you are still thinking AI is all hype, take a look at these charts. AI is the next major productivity cycle and it’s not going away.

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

Does a hype cycle have a retention curve that looks like this?

Literally never seen a retention cohort graph like this

The 12–18 month automation timeline feels aggressive. But if it’s even half correct (which it probably is), why is the market second-guessing the scale of AI infrastructure spending by Microsoft, Google, Anthropic, Meta, and Amazon?

[Financial Times @FT]

CEO of Microsoft AI Mustafa Suleyman joins FT editor Roula Khalaf to explain why most of the tasks accountants, lawyers and other professionals currently undertake will be fully automated by AI within the next 12 to 18 months https://t.co/yYKzS7NIOP

Want to learn a new skill? ChatGPT Plus is just $20 per month. It’s like having a 24/7 tutor who can explain anything at your level and never runs out of patience. What are you waiting for?

AI is an amplifier. It takes talents and multiplies access and impact. We are entering an era of amplification that will make the previous ones look modest. -Brent Beshore
