Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky says the chatbot is a "pre-AI interface," rather than the end-state interface for artificial intelligence: "We're in the MS-DOS phase of AI." "The future AI interface will have a reference to chat, but it's probably going to be much more visual. Most people aren't completely... show more

"I do not think a chatbot is the right interface for travel or e-commerce." - Brian Chesky "I think the future is not apps. The future is agents, but I don't think they're going to be text-forward. I think they're going to be really rich user interfaces." "Imagine using iMessage to do everything, when in fact every other app has a unique interface." "With e-commerce, you want a very rich user interface. It would be agentic. You can have a conversation with it, but the point is that it has to be more visual."

Airbnb's Brian Chesky says there's still a massive opportunity in consumer AI, if only because almost every AI company is an enterprise/ coding company. "Almost every AI company is an enterprise company. The last stat I said on TBPN, like three months ago — and the stats haven't changed — was 175 companies in a YC batch, and 16 were consumer." "That trend hasn't changed. Almost everyone's going into coding and enterprise." "But the consumer [AI] experience hasn't fundamentally changed that much beyond a chatbot. I think the consumer is a massive opportunity for AI. I think it's going to need to be a richer user interface." "AI today is text, photos, and buttons. And some videos. And I think there's a breakthrough visual paradigm that could be much more immersive. With the new image and video models, you could do something so much more immersive."

"I don't think people managers will have any value in the future." Airbnb CEO said on a recent pod the people most screwed by AI will be people managers. Perhaps we had this all wrong. The future belongs to ICs. There is now more use for them than ever before.

Standard Intelligence's devansh responds to roon's tweet that "text is the universal interface," and explains why their new foundation model is trained on video: "At some point in the arbitrarily long future, if we only use text models, we could force most things to be text. But I think there are just a lot of things that are much more native when done from a computer-use [perspective]." "GUIs are designed for humans to use. We have this massive long tail of things on the internet that are entirely undoable by LLMs." "For example, when I do ML engineering most of my time is spent doing the grunt work of engineering. It's a lot of looking at graphs, analyzing, and comparing loss curves. You can do this in text, but it's a much larger pain than doing it in the native interface." "There's a reason humans don't interact with a computer purely through text, it would kind of suck."

"I think one of the truths is that the demand for AI intelligence and smarter AI intelligence is going to be insatiable. Some people disagree that once we reach certain thresholds then you don't need more intelligence. To that I ask people, 'Have you ever worked with or managed someone in a work environment and wouldn't press a button to make them smarter?'" George elaborates on his thesis that the demand for smarter AI intelligence will only increase over time even as models get more powerful. George Cameron

the input interface has been the same for decades. with ai, software can now reason and act on your behalf but the interface is the bottleneck. why do i have to check sushi on 10 restaurants across 3 apps? why can't i just do it with a flick of a finger?! the world's about to get a new interface @agi_interfaces

"A generation of management teaching taught us CEOs should trust their people and get out of the way. But I don't think 'trust' and 'getting out of the way' are the same thing." Brian Chesky on how Founder Mode will become even more important with agentic AI: "Great leadership is presence, not absence." "Leadership is presence. You should actually be partnering with people. You should be on the field with them. If you're a calvalry general, you should be on a horse. You should be on the battlefield. You're not overseas just writing blueprints. You gotta be on the field with them, you gotta be leading by example." "Leadership is from the front, not the back." "I think AI is going to create the equivalent of an AI founder mode. Now you gotta be even more hands-on. I don't think in the era of AI, there should be any pure people managers. Because you're so close to the details and data. Everyone has the opportunity to be hands-on, and it's hard to imagine only managing people and not agents."

Match Group CEO Spencer Rascoff says his company is adding millions in new AI expenses, and many CEOs still aren't sure when the payoff will fully show up. "So our approach is that we have to pay for these tools. For us, it's $5-10M a year that we're spending on AI tools from basically nothing. So we're slowing down hiring somewhat. That's how we're choosing to fund it." "In terms of when do we start to see the actual benefit? CEOs, CFOs, and I are starting to ask that question more and more. I think we're benefiting from it, but it's hard to feel it." From his appearance on the show earlier this month.

Jordi: I worry that we'll have a lost generation of people who have let it be ingrained in their heads that nothing is worth trying, because AI will eventually eat every opportunity. "There's this toxic idea that AGI is just going to do everything, and then we're all going to retire." "Because from everything we're seeing, it's going to be a group of talented people using AI tools to solve all the most pressing problems we have."

ELON MUSK: The future is fundamentally AI and Robots. “Our AI revenue will exceed all other SpaceX revenue probably in September, like next month, and will significantly exceed all other SpaceX revenue in the fourth quarter. So, AI has become an extremely important part of SpaceX’s future. I think it’s actually vital that we succeed in AI, not just in hardware, but also in software. So, yeah, the future is fundamentally AI and robots. Assuming civilization continues to progress, I think that AI will probably, the amount of digital intelligence will probably be more than a trillion times the amount of biological intelligence. So, not sort of equal to human intelligence, but probably a trillion times higher. I’d say a billion times higher than the amount of artificial intelligence that we have today. I’d say a billion times is an easy prediction, and probably a trillion. So, as you harness more and more of the sun’s energy, the ability to turn that into intelligence is fundamentally a digital computer thing, because it’s pretty hard for humans to go live in deep space without any support. I mean, some of the math is interesting to think about, which is that if you increased civilizational energy usage, the amount of energy that we have harnessed as a civilization by a factor of a million, you would still be using much less than one millionth of the sun’s energy. Now, most of this is in deep space, obviously, but the future is very much AI, very much, and I suppose it was always going to be that way. But it’s important that we have an AI that cares about humanity, that fosters humanity and helps take us to other planets and other star systems, and this is why I think it’s essential that SpaceX succeed, not just with AI hardware, but also with AI software.”

OpenAI does not want to become the application layer of AI; it wants to be the platform that other application companies build on. "I think we should be more of a platform company than a product company. We will build products, of course. What I think most people want is a sort of single interface to their own personal, or their company's, AGI that can kind of help them with whatever they need, and then the ability, with an API, to build anything they want on top of it. That is the platform that we should offer to the world. We're going to sell great AI at every point on the cost-performance curve. We will be the best. You want really high-end AI to discover science? That's great. You want really inexpensive AI to do a massive amount of work that maybe doesn't require genius-level intelligence? We've got you covered there too." - Sam Altman on David Senra podcast (full video in the quoted tweet)

Sierra Co-Founder Bret Taylor predicts that within 3-4 years consumers will prefer businesses with AI phone agents over those that rely on traditional call centers. "If I have to call a restaurant to make a reservation, I'm going to a different place. If you don't have OpenTable or Resy, I'm out." "I think we're going to get to the point where people demand an AI because they're not going to want to wait on hold. We're not 100% there and we're just paying down the debt of bad tech that we've had for the past 10 years. But I'm hopeful that in three or four years, this will be the norm." "The problem was we had 10 to 15 years of bots that were really bad. If you were talking to an AI more than three years ago, it sucked. Now you can talk to an AI, and it's conversational, it's multilingual, it has access to systems. The AI agents of today are like the horse and carriage versus a flying car."

Etched CEO Gavin Uberti: "People don't realize how big of a market inference is going to be." "Right now, only a couple million people have access to the frontier models, and those are going to have to get deployed to 8 billion people across the globe. And that's not even counting AI agents that exist already, and will exist in the future." "There need to be way, way more tokens produced, and that requires much bigger assembly lines, many more factories, and some new technology."

Elon Musk: As human intelligence plateaus, AI will scale to harness most of the power of the galaxy Elon: "I think we'll see intelligence continue to scale all the way up to where most of the power of the sun is harnessed for compute, and then ultimately most of the power of the galaxy." “ Once you think about artificial intelligence not as sort of this destination that you reach, but really as part of the overall escalation of intelligence, you know, human intelligence has also scaled as the population has increased, and we've been able to store more and more information.” “Because of population declines and low birthrate, human intelligence is somewhat plateauing and will actually decline.” “I think that we might have AI smarter than any single human at anything as soon as next year.” “And then probably within five (years), like say 2030, probably AI is smarter than the sum of all humans.” Friedberg: “ Do you think humans are on the decline because the AI is evolving?” “Do you think there's this evolution of the ecosystem on earth that's underway, that we don't really understand the structure of what's going on?” Elon: “ Yeah, maybe we implicitly know that it's coming.” Elon Musk david friedberg

Over the last 200 years, we've automated away a lot of hard physical labour. But people still go to the gym. Indeed, many people today are more physically capable than people in the past. We can train systematically for whatever physical goal we want, and it's more fun than hard labour on a pre-modern farm. Andrej Karpathy's hope is that, in the future, the same will be true of learning. AI tutoring that's tailored to each person will make learning easy, and more people will want to do it. We will be able to go much further than our ancestors.

I built an entire RAG application without writing any code. This is one of the easiest ways to start building AI applications. I used Langflow. It's open-source. It's a visual interface for building and deploying AI applications. I built a couple of workflows to show you how it works, and I'm impressed! Check the video I recorded. I built two workflows: 1. The first one loads data into a vector store database (Astra DB). 2. The second asks questions from that data using OpenAI's models. Langchain does the heavy lifting behind the scenes, but having a visual interface makes this 10 times easier. Here is Langflow's GitHub repository: In the video, I used their pre-release version. The development experience for building AI applications is improving tremendously! What a time to be a builder!
