@anothercohen Netlify is one, we’re trying move off at the moment - the per contributor model is just the worst. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Dialpad was one of the worst, most overpriced pieces of software I had to migrate our company off of a couple of years ago and it's hilarious to me that they have now rebranded as an AI company

I agree, agents are the next step in this evolution and for that to be a game changer we need - Discovery, agents should able to discover new systems and autonomously interact with them - Better Experience, I think AI experiences are where we were with mobile experiences around 2010, we need to figure out how to create better human-ai experiences. Right now it's probably faster and easier to do a lot of thing yourself than to use an AI assistant/agent except for a few specialised ones that are integrated into existing workflows.

The next big breakthrough in AI is AI Agents. This is when AI goes from being used as an assistant to chat with, to using AI to accomplish complete tasks that a human might otherwise have to perform. This moves AI from being a "read-only" operation to fundamentally a "read/write" operation. Ultimately, this brings us much closer to the full promise of AI, in particular in the enterprise, where AI can begin to complete any part of a workflow, and we're already seeing examples today of Agents that write entire software applications or respond to customer support tickets. Today, in many ways Agents are where cloud computing was in 2007; that is to say, very early. When you extrapolate this trend out over a decade, we can start to imagine what an entirely different enterprise operation might look like. We can easily picture having highly proficient Agents available for every function in an organization, enabling important work to get done far faster than today. The impact of Agents on the enterprise really has no limit, but 3 big implications stand out to me: 1. Businesses of all sizes will have access to resources and specialized skills that they wouldn't otherwise tap into. Bill Joy, the cofounder of Sun Microsystems, famously said "no matter who you are, most of the smartest people work for someone else." Especially for smaller companies, this has always been a disadvantage. Your larger competitors will always be able to tap into a talent pool that you can't afford or access. Whether it's specialized legal support, or scaling a sales team, AI Agents will enable companies of all sizes the same access to resources that were once only the privilege of a large organization. 2. Companies will be able to re-allocate energy and talent to increasingly more differentiating and higher impact work. We know that for various parts of a company, our time is wasted with tasks that computers *should* be remarkably good at solving, but just haven't been able to today. As AI Agents become more robust, many of these activities that we drain our time on can be automated, and we can repurpose time and energy to driving more innovation, getting closer to our customers, better supporting customers, and more. 3. As AI Agents play a meaningful role in the operations of a company, this changes the nature of the IT function, making it even more strategic than today. Today, IT is often focused on enabling software for existing workers or workflows in a company. In the future, a company will go to IT for supplying intellectual horsepower as well to the enterprise. Imagine going to IT not just to say "I need software to help my engineers build my product" but instead, "I need software to engineer my product". You can squint and picture in the coming years even a "Workday for AI" where you manage Agents that are running around augmenting the operations of a company. And this is just the beginning...

I see a lot of anticipation for GPT-5, I believe what we should be looking forward to is some form of autonomous agency where, it can interact with everything from digital systems to the physical physical world without need for manually integrations as we have today or at least digital systems. Without that a more intelligent GPT will not be a big deal.

Where is GPT-5? 🙄 TBH, I have no clue what OAI is waiting for! It’s over a year now and they still don’t have a official upgrade to GPT-4

@30nemagar Definitely they would definitely have more granular step by step goals internally but broadly the goal is AGI. See openai.com/about

@Marvinified I get you but I mean do they have it written on paper somewhere? Like is there a clear goal for each step?

While it's pedictable that GPT-5 is going to be better than GPT-4, at the same rate as the previous generation. I think the problem is less of building products on top of GPT-x, but more of build a general-purpose product that can easily overlap with OpenAI’s mission. Because @OpenAI is pursuing a broader vision of AGI, which means they won't be able build for specific verticals. Atleast until GPT can autonomously build companies. For now, while everyone can use @ChatGPTapp, it's too general purpose and detached from users everyday workflow in different verticals. For example, I use @github co-pilot everyday, although it's basically built on GPT, the fact that it's integrated into my workflow makes it way better than the @ChatGPTapp for coding task. So I'm betting on products that integrate GPT into everyday workflows, for those products, GPT getting exponentially better is a net positive for them.

@30nemagar I believe the objective for every iteration is basically to get a step closer to AGI, but getting to AGI would require more tan just LLMs, it would require some form of autonomous agency where, it can interact with everything from digital to physical autonomously.

@Marvinified Is there a clear semantic objective for gpt-x or is it just that each is computationally superior?

@willahmed This looks like the best case scenario. Could be way worse in reality. 😂

founder pre product-market fit

@gregisenberg At early stages, I don't think the last point holds because if responsibilities are adequately shared, everyone would be wearing multiple hats, all of which would be stressful regardless of whether you're the CEO or not

I don't know why people don't talk about this... The best job at a company isn't the CEO. It's the co-founder. - WAY more equity than an advisor - WAY less cash upfront than an investor - WAY less responsibility (and stress) than the CEO I highly recommend being a co-founder.

@heistimi Stealth.

a vc in my network is looking to invest $7.5M into idea-stage startups in the next 3 months. $500K per company. 15 investments. if you're building sthg dope write "stealth" in the comments and I'll dm u with more info if yk founders that might be interested rt this

🚀 Just a few days ago, I launched Tethered v2 in beta! It was accessible to anyone who visited our page, and to my amazement, within less than 24 hours without any outreach,

💡 Taking inspiration from their feedback, I started working on Tethered v2, incorporating their feedback. Additionally, I worked tirelessly to find ways to significantly reduce costs, as the freemium version was already incurring expenses of around $700 within the first month.

Despite spending a few months ensuring that it's suitable for launch amidst other hurdles, I'm worried about how valuable it will be to users. 2/4

@ArtificialAva @TakoTreba You may want to try out tethered.ai

@TakoTreba Lowkey can't wait until I get access to ChatGPT plugins to make my browser obsolete 😅

Not only I become to lazy to search the infos on google but I become too lazy to search infos on any website. ChatGPT really spoiled me

@SafeSelection @TakoTreba You may want to try out tethered.ai

@TakoTreba Chatgpt 3 is awesome but not cool for recent data. It's only trained till 2021 . But still it's awesome :)

@AdoraNwodo I’ve been waiting for someone to point this out for a while now. I’ve seen a lot of these over the years and it’s just disheartening because it just breeds a new generation of shallow engineers. You will fully grasp the depth of the decay when you try to hire.

I spoke at a tech event months ago & the topic was centered around career growth. During the session, the focus was around growing on social media and building a brand (as a software engineer) and I was heartbroken. No one seemed to care about the actual work or career ladder.

@Egi_nupe_ Seriously painful, considering how worry about everyone else in our lives before ourselves. I for one, I don’t even spend up to 20% of my income on myself. When I look at my expenses monthly, they are mostly money sent to other people in my life for different things.

@nancydevie Dreams come true 💪🏾
