Great men of history had little to no introspection. The personality that builds empires is not the same personality that sits around quietly questioning itself. @pmarca and I discuss what we both noticed but no one talks about: David: You don't have any levels of introspection? Marc: Yes, zero. As little as possible. David: Why? Marc: Move forward. Go! I found people who dwell in the past get stuck in the past. It's a real problem and it's a problem at work and it's a problem at home. David: So I've read 400 biographies of history’s greatest entrepreneurs and someone asked me what the most surprising thing I’ve learned from this was [and I answered] they have little or zero introspection. Sam Walton didn't wake up thinking about his internal self. He just woke up and was like: I like building Walmart. I'm going to keep building Walmart. I'm going to make more Walmarts. And he just kept doing it over and over again. Marc: If you go back 400 years ago it never would've occurred to anybody to be introspective. All of the modern conceptions around introspection and therapy, and all the things that kind of result from that are, a kind of a manufacture of the 1910s, 1920s. Great men of history didn't sit around doing this stuff. The individual runs and does all these things and builds things and builds empires and builds companies and builds technology. And then this kind of this kind of guilt based whammy kind of showed up from Europe. A lot of it from Vienna in 1910, 1920s, Freud and all that entire movement. And kind of turned all that inward and basically said, okay, now we need to basically second guess the individual. We need to criticize the individual. The individual needs to self criticize. The individual needs to feel guilt, needs to look backwards, needs to dwell in the past. It never resonated with me.

I asked @scottastevenson if ChatGPT and Claude are going to replace all vertical AI tools: "Lawyer's don't actually draft anything from scratch. Especially contracts. They want to start with a trusted precedent that they understand inside out. If they use ChatGPT and it outputs the whole contract, they have to review every single word of that, and make sure they understand it all, completely. That’s very time consuming. And ChatGPT is not great at modifying existing work or building on your existing library. We have a few features in @SpellbookLegal where you can start with the precedents that you’re familiar with, and we’ll modify those. You can start with a sales agreement and say “Make this GDPR-compliant,” and we’ll surgically make those edits for you. We also have a feature called Library, where we have your whole history of all the deals you’ve ever worked on, and use that to influence the output of Spellbook. Working off of your existing corpus of docs as a lawyer is really, really important. And ChatGPT doesn’t do that super well. Lawyers also want things built into their existing workflow. I think the chat interface is great, but it’s still the terminal UI of AI. And I don’t think chat is the be all and end all. We've just built a lot of unique user experiences that would just never fit inside the shape of ChatGPT. For instance, one thing you can do in Spellbook is compare it to the market. If you're signing a commercial lease in Manhattan, you can say “Compare this to the average commercial lease in Manhattan and tell me what’s not normal.” And then you can dig into all the data that we’ve collected in real time, from millions of contracts, and explore that through this visual interface that has nothing to do with chat. It’s very, very distanced from that. There's a huge number of experiences that people want that don’t fit in a chat box."
