I don’t think people appreciate how big a blockbuster moment this is for Google. I’ve entirely replaced Google search with GPT-4/Opus. Give it a year and “normal” people will too.
Biggest mistake I made in app marketing for @photoroom_app was NOT launching Google iOS for UAC earlier. It’s tricky because you can’t attribute any revenue with your MMP. But you can estimate revenue from your Skad network data and then you’re off 📈 Massive lever now

There's no fundamental reason Brits should be more pessimistic than other countries about AI, yet we are. If anything, as an innovative nation of early adopters, we should be broadly optimistic. But if the narrative that somehow transformer models means the end of all…

When DTC marketing teams see ROAS decline, they blame a systemic flaw that will result in long-term platform abandonment and spend diversification. When they see ROAS increase, they ask for raises.

As a VC, should you spend more or less time with your struggling companies? It's an age old debate. I heard an LP on a recent podcast state they wanted their GPs to only spend time with their "Tier 1 & Tier 2" companies. A founder I know well confided to me his lead VC told him…

Asking our engineers how often & which LLM they use to code... Really surprised at the low usage of Opus given how well it performs on the coding benchmarks. I'd predict the frequency they use it and the model itself will change quite substantially over the next year.
The “EU regulation” narrative has become the go-to excuse for underperforming founders, judging from the replies below.
Is there anything happening in EU?
I’ve been lucky to watch @FinnMurphy12 along this entire journey. Raising a fund is hard. A first fund is harder. A first fund in 2023/24 is very, very hard. It helps when you’re tall and charming and have a great Irish accent but still this is a big accomplishment
