Company building overview I want to keep a record of my every day activity in building a product, getting it to market, and hopefully scaling. I’ve been lucky to have some experience that touches a bit of everything but have never put it all together before. With the advent of AI it’s never been easier to build a decent software biz so here is my stab at it. I will try and be transparent about then inner workings and thoughts — hopefully I can look back after a year and look at how much I’ve accomplished and learned

The bottleneck is still education. Most students don’t know how to boot up terminal. Most kids will still never program. The tech illiteracy gap just widens. All the non technical white collar workers that are wow’d by Claude Cowork are constrained by the UI provided to them. There will be employment gap in employment may widen. It will be the coders and blue collar work vs everyone else.

What’s lost in the debate about AI jobs is that when coding is free we will have jobs that we can’t even imagine right now. 50 years ago nobody would understand you if you told them your job was to turn the Flexport 404 error page into a game of Tetris. Flexport.com/404

apparently one of the highest revenue yc companies is a match making app doing like a ~$1m a month in revenue & it’s not a dating app. it uses ai to match women for friendship with other women due to loneliness which is very fascinating because bumble needed to lean into this hardcore but obviously failed in all facets of business for the past like ~6 years. kinda ironic since the zeitgeist narrative from the mainstream is always about men’s loneliness.

Almost everything you think you know about the history of technology and capitalism was warped by communist/luddite propaganda of the era. That's happening this time too.

It was always this simple. Your parents’ basic financial advice of “housing always goes up” means that by design owning houses will be harder and harder for subsequent generations. When you go to Italy and they are now selling 1 dollar villas you can understand why this American financial wisdom is setting up an entire society up for financial ruin.

What people fundamentally don’t realize is that Don Quixote is about a man who has the noblest of intentions, who inadvertently causes suffering and hardship on the world to the people in his life and the world writ large. It’s a lesson that every person should take seriously lest you in up undermining your own seemingly good intentions. The devil is in the details. Ideas are bounded and if you don’t thoughtfully understand the limitations to the ideas brought forth, you will almost certainly cause more harm than good. People are self destructive because they are short sighted.
Chamath Palihapitiya@chamath

Most people are self destructive. They don’t see themselves as on this path. Nor are willing to put in the effort to give their kids this shot. So they’d just rather steal from those who made it. But these same people will drive California into bankruptcy by doing it. These kinds of taxes only work at the national level where moving states isn’t enough. Also, when California goes through the eventual bankruptcy that will be caused by the capital flight from this bill, I don’t see the rest of the union stepping in.

Bro no one is using Siri
Ejaaz@cryptopunk7213

lmfao fucking genius move by Apple. Siri now becomes the #1 AI model without ever running its own model or spending a dollar on training 😂 let me explain: - Claude, chatgpt, gemini can now plug into Siri’s 2.5 billion users - so Siri becomes the default interface for AI chatbots = gets ALL the credit - Apple will likely tax 30% of all chatgpt, claude subs via appstore = more $$$$$ - Apple becomes the distribution layer for everyone else’s AI. taxes the app layer - oh and apple STILL HAS ACCESS to gemini’s model weights to build their own fucking foundation model 😂 silver lining for anthropic: they’ve been behind in consumer users - now apple gives them access to 2.5B of them 👍🏽👍🏽 the AI economy will run on ios and apple and they barely lifted a finger to do it genius

After talking to some of my non technical peers about AI it seems really clear that the general distain for AI will cause a humongous rift in society. It will be the AI embraces vs the luddites and it will be a religious, political, and physical battle. The luddites will lose but society as we know it will have to be remade.
