🚨 Excited to share a new working paper! 🚨 AI can improve individual tasks. But when does it improve firm performance? Our paper proposes one key friction firms face: the "mapping problem" -- discovering where and how AI creates value in a firm's production process. 🧵1/

Having seen the new Glassmorphism design by @Apple , I can’t wait for the next design language to replace this. Very @Microsoft Vista-esque which I couldn’t wait to get rid of. Looks good, horrible to work on.

@napkin_ai @excel_niisan I love @napkin_ai - now I need to somehow bring it into @googledocs

@excel_niisan Thanks for the shoutout!

【早くも「🍌Banana疲れ」→ 「📊NapkinAI」の再評価】 「Nano Bananaでビジネス図解を作れる」って言っても、けっこう「ガチャ」要素があって、結局、何度も作り直すんだよなぁ…　 文字化けも時々あるし。 なんか安定した図解が一発で作りたいよ… ↓ と思って「Napkin AI」に回帰してきたら、 超絶使いやすくアップデートされていた。 【Napkin AIの進化】 ・ガチャ要素がなくなっている ・自由にカテゴリから図解を選べる ・安定したデザインと文字出力 これはいい。（歓喜 Banana疲れしたときは、Napkin AIを使おう。

Booked via @Virgin for a flight on a @Delta plane managed by @KLM crew. Every single one of them was clueless on how to upgrade (despite the seats being available) and the apps not working. I don’t want to have a point system / account on all three if I’m using my primary to book

@Delta : first I was too early and then too late for a (paid) upgrade at AMS because the systems don’t talk to each other across KLM and Delta. If that’s the case why not have delta crew (systems) at the airport so as to not penalise the customers who are first come first serve?

I’ve used @napkin_ai extensively to convert my thoughts into diagrams. Tried to visualize the essays that I’ve written over the years, and now I can’t wait to start mind mapping my notes / book. It’s a tool that I almost hate to share because it’s like having a superpower.

How can I be so much in love with my macbook, but REALLY miss android at the same time?

Day 00 : Used to use @github + @Kilo_Code, but was recommended by folks to try out @lovable / @boltdotnew / @samedotdev / @DatabuttonHQ / @v0 / @Replit / @vlyai. Which one are folks using and what's the key decision drivers?

@grok Does it mean anything ? Think like a brilliant financial analyst.

Current VC dry powder stands at ~$221B globally (mid-2025), down from $300B in 2023 due to aggressive AI investments, yet still at elevated levels compared to historical norms. During the 2000-2001 dot-com bust, dry powder was lower (~$50-100B est.), and rapidly depleted as fundraising halted (from $66B in 2000 to $3B in 2003), triggering a multi-year VC winter with 80% investment drop. Today’s reserves suggest greater resilience, but prolonged high rates could mimic the bust’s capital freeze.

@grok - analyse the dry powder of the VC ecosystem today, and compare it to the dot com bubble burst.

Hmm... so GPT-5 seems to think it's GPT-4- looks like even GPT-5 has some thoughts about the new model ;-)

@flowersslop Thanks @flowersslop , I’m more confused than ever, but that’s on me ;-)

I specifically used the gpt-5-chat model, so there was no thinking involved at all. if you use gpt-5 inside chatgpt it often thinks at least a little bit and gets even better. so this test is just for the two non thinking models

Some of you asked me about my blind test, so I created a quick website for yall to test 4o against 5 yourself. Both have the same system message to give short outputs without formatting because else its too easy to see which one is which. gptblindvoting.vercel.app

@thinkymachines - my love letter to you : thinkingsidc.com <3

@napkin_ai I absolutely love this. Can’t wait for an enterprise subscription; I’ll incessantly bug my team for. If you can have an API pull from documents directly into napkin that would be great. Something like /load <filename> or something. Also, would love to pull napkin into a web app.

@grok has been pleasantly surprising with code in a single shot. Used it this weekend, and in the coming week need to consolidate all my subscriptions - feels like cable TV now.

@sidc_ai Hi, I am so sorry to hear this. I have escalated this for you. ^Lois

What does the future of MBA journey look like in a world powered by GenAI? This question was at the heart of the INSEAD Product Games 2024, our flagship product management competition that brings together MBA students from top business schools worldwide. Congratulations to the IsekAI team from NUS for emerging as this year’s champions, standing out among 62 teams from 15 top business schools! Their innovative solution, IsekAI, is a multi-agent, LLM-powered tool that provides MBA students with interactive, narrative-based simulations of industries they aspire to explore. A game-changer for career discovery and learning, it showcases the transformative potential of GenAI in education. A huge thank you to everyone who made the Product Games a success, especially our final jury: Siddartha Chaturvedi, Momchil Marinov, Delphine Barthas, Adrian Johnson, and Antoine Gourevitch, as well as the many mentors and preliminary judges. The bold thinking and creativity on display were truly inspiring, especially as INSEAD embarks on our own journey of transformation with GenAI. Here’s to a future defined by innovation, collaboration and technology! #INSEADmoments #ProductGames2024 #GenAI #Innovation #MBA
