From Y Combinator · Published Jul 21, 2023 · Watch on YouTube
TL;DR
This video argues that OpenAI will not kill startups, drawing historical parallels to major technological shifts (farming, electricity, internet, mobile) that created new opportunities. The speakers distinguish between cargo-culting AI for hype and genuinely using AI to build better features.
Key insights
- OpenAI and Anthropic aim to build AGI, not to create AI‑powered CRMs or similar applications; this is a fundamental distinction for startup strategy.
- Major technology changes historically increase the number of businesses and advantage startups over incumbents, especially when change is rapid.
- There is a clear difference between “cargo culting” AI (adding AI tangentially to raise money) and using AI to measurably improve retention, product quality, and pricing.
