Calculator Analogy :

1. Before Calculators :
   
   
   • Mathematics involved tedious manual calculations, which consumed time and energy.
   
   
   • This focus on computation limited people's ability to explore abstract concepts, such as calculus, topology, or game theory, which require mental bandwidth freed from repetitive tasks.


2. After Calculators :
   
   
   • By automating basic

I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.

Sora currently works best as a complement to other AI content generation tools: Spin up a scene on Midjourney, generate a voice on ElevenLabs, and produce your video through Sora.

As a startup, you can give each of your users a Ferrari-level product experience. Use the most expensive, cutting-edge models. Don’t worry about optimizing for cost. If doing five additional API calls (server requests to your LLM provider of choice) makes the product experience better, go for it. It might be expensive on a per-user basis, but you... See more

For the first time, it’s possible to provide a better product experience for a small number of users than for millions of users. But this isn’t an obstacle—it’s a big opportunity for startups. Big companies with millions of users literally can’t compete with you because there isn’t enough compute available in the world to provide a cutting-edge... See more

While AGI’s impact on humanity will surely be profound, the real economic opportunity lies in narrow, cost-efficient models that can handle specialized tasks.

But here's the plot twist: Exceptional experiences for narrow use cases often have little to do with AI. We spend endless hours on note quality at Granola, but we spend just as much time on features like seamless meeting notifications and great echo cancellation (so our tool works whether you're using headphones or not). The "wrapper" around the AI... See more
