A common pitfall when people present to "execs" is focusing too much on the speed or thoroughness of response. And not enough on pausing to ensure they answer the right question.

Visited the new Apple Store at the Mall of Scandinavia. Perfect store. Tried the new camera button on the new iPhones. Extremely easy and fast. I don’t understand tech reviewers.

These AI tools cost money to operate, and so they need to show ongoing value add - else why would a company pay a relatively high price tag (compared to SaaS) for AI functionality? However, in this effort many AI tools will generate noise or even worse: like this example
A VC firm I had a Zoom meeting with used Otter AI to record the call, and after the meeting, it automatically emailed me the transcript, including hours of their private conversations afterward, where they discussed intimate, confidential details about their business.

The value proposition for why to (eventually) pay another $20-40 per month for a GenAI feature seems pretty vague to me, with this Google messaging. Also pretty dyslopian to asssume those paying for this send out AI written emails - then others getting an AI summary of them...

It’s truly something that I continue to find all my new music on TikTok and Roblox than Spotify’s algo.

The thing with Founder’s Mode is if the founder isn’t genuine to truer mission of the product, it’s just micromanaging.

ChatGPT is giving me way better results for queries related to my job. That is a monumental shift.

i think the term “focus” is often misused as an excuse to ship a bad experience on time

the problem with caring about the details, is that you start to notice *all* the details, and how many you want to change, but you can't (bc you have limited time and attention), so you live among them, forever

simplifiers > complicators (even though the latter may seem more impressive at first glance, you quickly realize simplifiers solve the problems and win the hearts and minds)

Nearly a decade ago, I wrote a piece that talked about value, not valuations. Since then, Silicon Valley's obsession with valuations has worsened. Today, when I hear about the AI bubble and all that, I can only think about how much we have focused on money raised and insane valuations. If we focused on "value," we would think differently about AI, its true worth, and the time horizon for it to become valuable to us. If you want to read the old piece, it is here. buff.ly/46xOa7b
