This talks about value capture by focusing on the most critical point of leverage
Quote reply to the previous tweet that captures most of my thoughts well with lots of examples.
Excerpts:
(On design): When designing productivity software, conceptualize it as a medium first and foremost, and a tool secondarily.
(On chatbots as UI): Its browsing, code interpreter, and Dall-E tools are testament to this upside-down design philosophy: the tools go to work first, only thereafter you see some output.
With the exception of code interpreter, interactions with ChatGPT are largely stateless and transactional. Manipulations are indirect.
Similarly, when everyone is saying the same things, simply asking why becomes revolutionary.

The State of AI with Marc & Ben
open.spotify.comAI and the Internet are different phenomena.
The internet increased the leverage of computers by connecting them to other computers. Amplifies things that benefit from wider distribution. Network effects.
LLMs are stateless calculators (computers). Amplifies things that have a lot of computational complexity. Quick and Reliable decision making.
