Might have been the case before. But these days, kids are brought up on locked-down content-focused machines (e.g. ipads). They struggle with anything harder than restarting an app.

Don't really need much capital if you don't need any engineers.

Don't need social connections if the end-consumer can just conjure up apps themselves with AI.


If you don't need capital you don't need capitalism.

How ironic if that's how it ends.


I just pasted my last conversation with ChatGPT into that which also gave me 0% AI GPT. I would take that site with a mountain of salt.


Most businesses are not as portable as a tech startup.


Ownership is though.


Young people don't even speak to each other on the phone anymore.


You can rent one from most cloud providers for a few bucks an hour.


Might as well just use openai api


thats not the same thing at all


That depends on your intentions.

Something like Russell 2k would be a better comparison if GP is trading pennystocks.


Typing shouldn't be what's taking up most of your time if you are a great dev writing great code.


which kind of typing are we talking about here? if it's the kind that my hands do on a keyboard that is obviously not what is meant by writing code.


Microsoft is providing the compute, the capital, and if 365 Copilot takes off, also the consumers.

Microsoft has a mote. Oai does not.


365 is not taking off. Numbers are average at best. Most companies now pay 20/user/month extra, and whilst the sentiment is that it likely kina is somehow worth it, nobody claims it would be better than break even. Many users are deeply disappointed with the overpromising in powerpoint and excel. Sure it's quite useful in outlook and the assistant is great to find files in scattered sharepoints, but that's the limit of my value with it.

OpenAI copilot, not microsoft copilot, actually looks like a stronger product and they're going full force after the enterprise market as we speak. We're setting a demo in motion with them next month to give it a go.

We'll have to wait for the first one to crack Powerpoint, that'll be the gamechanger.
