I wonder what % of YC W23 startups will have to pivot because of GitHub Copilot X and ChatGPT plugins? Growing conviction that AI will be a sustaining technology vs. disruptive technology. Hugely important, but less likely to create new startup unicorns.
but arenāt there research papers also stating that you can train a ChatGPT equivalent model by using the ChatGPT API itself (same quality)? So it looks like a nothingburger if none of the training results in proprietary software.
i feel like its gonna disrupt all of VC. half the investment dollars were to pay for engineers that can be replaced with AI sooner or later.
Have been thinking this since your casts few days back. Makes sense when it comes to tools, saas but it may be possible to built huge companies leveraging network effects somehow aka consumer, & social
many abd in double digit % imo. not just w23, those pivoting around from 22 cohorts also jumped onto this
unicorns are created when a startup figures new equation/dcf for an emerging value transfer at scale. fb did that and no mba intern could model it that year. today all Harvard mba interns dcf model a social n/w, marketplace. tldr, models well understood. B2B et al more like soap business than tech/disruption today
Just looking at the docs for how to deploy a new plugin it feels like months of work are compressed to minutes - feels like a totally new paradigm.
These new tools will help founders create a unicorn even faster then ever. Just not the same unicorns one might be used to.
I honestly believe it will level the field for technical vs creative people and benefit both, yesterday I did a test here at the company where I created a documentation of most used codes in Unity to setup SOPs and it performed flawlessly
Canāt wait to see what kind of plug-ins get dropped. Specifically excited about all the design and video tools Iām sure will drop over the next 3-5 years.
