I spent the weekend at the Y Combinator AI retreat where predictions were made among hundreds of founders leading the next wave of AI - here’s what I learned: 1. There is a consensus that AGI is around the corner and everyone building startups is f%^*ed In the next decade the only thing of value that companies will be able to build is status goods. Think art, fashion, etc. Anything where the value is intangible and not based on the resources that went into making it 2. A lot of jobs are going to either disappear or change dramatically Companies are desperate to fill roles with software, and the technology is getting to a point of convergence where we will suddenly be able to do that with a LOT of roles. Our focus this year at Artisan is prioritizing the roles we want to focus on automating 3. Work 100 years ago vs now looks like playing games - it will likely be the same now vs in 100 years If you took someone from 1925 and showed them what we do for “work” today, they’d say we have too much time and aren’t actually working. Some think the same situation will exist in 100 years - the work people will be doing will look like play to us now 4. A lot of companies are building cool s*%t Being around 100s of founders building insanely cool products with AI was inspiring- there’s an avalanche of sci fi-esque technology coming our way in the next few years
