We will soon (are) see a MASSIVE acceleration in AI startups created. If you are leveraging an AI product, ensure the CTO or CDO has actually built and managed AI in production for large companies. Anything else will cause silent failures that will be eaten by the customer.

@perplexity_ai yo, cascade has been crap recently
- failed tool calls
- stopping a chat results in cascade being unusable for hours

Check out @karpathy's "State of GPT" - it's 40 mins well-spent! It packs in some serious knowledge:

Completely agree. $APPL will likely not pull its head out of its ass though, nor will a partnership btwn apple and a OEM work out.

Okay Oliver. Would love for you to provide the opportunity for the public to try your autonomous driving product at scale. Until that’s feasible, don’t really see any weight to your argument.
I don’t know about you, but any autonomous driving product that makes moving from A to B more stressful than just driving yourself is not a very good product.
Sadly, this is happening way later than it should have :/
AWS CloudFormation introduces the option to troubleshoot provisioning errors before rollback, accelerating deployments

Did a quick est of expected value for taking a startup job
25% likelihood of successful IPO,
75x return on IPO,
and ~180k salary
(Very ambitious stats on avg),
This can easily be beaten with a C2C or w2 job at most IT jobs, at FAANG role,

New cool tech startup: Valued at $10 billion, loses $300 million per year
My dumb SaaS: Built for $50k, cash flows $1 million+ per year

Agreed, Cash flowing agencies, done well, can do a lot to make you pretty financially secure as well.
My recommended path of entrepreneurship...
1st company - start a cash flowing agency to pay bills
2nd company - build a sellable asset to make you financially secure like a profitable SaaS
3rd company - swing for the fences and disrupt a market like Microsoft or @microacquire

Lol always a terrible statement when assertions like this are made. Past returns do not guarantee future returns 😂 #data
Value of $1,000 invested 10 years ago:

Apple: $11,137
Google: $10,770
Solutions like $SNOW have always been funny to me. Pay extra for a slight reduction in apparent complexity that’s truly just hidden away and ends up requiring companies pay their consultants to dig out of the hole. Save yourself the pain and just use the cloud services
