I think it's really dangerous I think to be developing two three four things at a time having 15 uh people working on your team when you're still at ideal stage and I think a lot of people make the mistake of raising the money and then using it too quickly um one thing you cannot use money for is product Market fit right I think

Actually can you ever afford to move away from customers and does it not always become more impossible with bigger teams I totally agree with you and I think a successful company is a long series of like product market fits but you need that initial spark right because once you have that you have something to build on the bigger you get the more you know bigger company You're Building you need new product you new product Market fit essentially...

I think that's that's uh that's a myth how does Synthesia become a 50 to 100 billion doll company can you just paint that picture for me so I think we're the early stages of a shift in how we communicate if you think of most communication today it's it's text based right s emails text we read things and text is a great technology it's amazing technology it's kind of built the world up to where it is today but it's it's actually like a pretty bad way of compressing information

I think that's pretty spot on to what I see a lot in the Enterprise is um buyers don't really know what they want a lot of people have been told that they need to have an AI strategy they need to execute an AI strategy which means they're very willing to have conversations they're also very willing to spend their Innovation budgets on doing things but they don't really know what they actually need

I think building software is a lot harder than that and I think what we see a lot with I have seen the last two years a lot of like cool demos but and that's great that's a good start right but what we really want to see is this like applied mass scale in production because you can prompt like a Tetris game in the browser or something like that that's that's great but if you look at most software out there today it's very complex and it's not just technology right it's a lot of humans it's customers it's feedback loops

I think I think what will come back to as it always does like distribution is King and great products are king and of course there will be new llms that'll be better and more powerful and as everyone else excited to see what GT5 kind of has in store but I do think we are seeing the commonization of the text uh generation layer right for most of the use cases that um will see llms transform the worlds we know today

I think what everyone is trying to build into mod in AI system today is control right we've proven these things extremely capable at replicating the real world producing video that looks real audio that looks real text that sounds real and but what we all really want to do is like get a deeper level of control over these things in my world right it's like you have some of the big video generation models I kind of detest what we do versus like what Sora does or Runway or something like that

um I think it is directionally correct that having humans sitting down and evaluating content is not the right way of doing it I think what we've seen with products like Wikipedia for example is that the collective power of people working together to arrive at some sort of Truth is really really powerful and I think Community Notes is kind of like taking that Wikipedia way of thinking about the world and trying to implement that into every single piece of content

we only want to build models if we think we can be the best in the world at it which in general means that it's a narrow domain and that it is directly tied to a bigger workflow right and so we always work backwards from our what our customers are trying to do

I think what has happened in very broad Strokes is that we demarti distribution with the internet right like there are no Gatekeepers anyone can make a website everyone can share that content online that's been really really powerful then we saw to some extent the democratization of content creation because all of our smartphones have cameras in them the price of camera equipment dropped and all those things which I mean we're sitting here with I mean this set up like 30 years ago would probably been like 100 exra price what it is today what's about to happen now is that we're truly going to democratize content creation

I think what's actually happened with TikTok is that they've built an amazing product... it's like a chain of command, ... it's been reviewed by like six different people before it goes out the door.

I think we need some degree of identity verification for some of the big spaces that we use because I just think when you're looking at content, ... it's hard right it's not because it's like right around the corner but you can imagine a world where you can begin to build a chain of like where was content originally created what happened to it since are you watching an edited version?

I think when we when we think of like content identity verification we think of moderation consecration I think we are beginning to see the birth of an entirely new content ecosystem that would look very different than what we have today.

... I think a lot of people didn't like, like very technical roles like camera operation those types of things they'll probably like fade away to some extent and I think a lot of emphasis will be put on creativity storytelling being relatable like all those things that makes great content...

I think it'll get there it'll take a long time but what I think you get in Europe is you get more loyalty in the sense that people care a lot about like working at a place that they like working in interesting problems having great colleagues um and I think that's a pro that that's like less spoken about

I think keep the reliefs for entrepreneurs for people who create things uh maybe even make them better because that's very attractive I think there's also a whole bunch of things you could do in terms of subsidizing uh GPU cost for example that would incentify for for like UK data centers

... I think most around you disbelieve that playing computer games is probably one of the best things a kid can do for like future success in their life... I think it is is that we probably the first generation that really had especially a bit more complex strategy games and basically what you learn throughout life is like decision-making to some extent right

What's powerful about computer games is that there's this like kind of constant feedback loop what trait are you slightly ashamed of but that has contributed to your success

I'm just extremely curious so I'm not like an expert in anything specific but I have a very very wide range of interests and I think like my neural network has been trained on like so many random things

The heaviest things in life are not iron or gold but unmade decisions what unmade decision weighs on you most

When you're in the middle of these cycles and you see like all these things getting funded all these like you know competitors pop up you you get a lot of like noise and a lot of like oh should we do these things

When I play computer games as a kid first a very social thing both because you play with other people online and I think our parents have a hard time believing you can be friends with people you haven't met in real life

Having some secondaries have the mentally freeing effect that people often say it does I definitely think so I definitely think so
