an absolute Sam Altman banger. "innovation is easier with a relatively small team that has to make a decisive and clear concentrated bet and that doesn't tolerate any mediocre performers. that's it." small, focused, high-performing teams win.

"Innovation is easier when you fund the team with money raised as a non-profit and then monetize the IP as a for-profit." Bonus points for not paying original content creators for training data and stealing everything else from existing social network companies. Sam Altman is just SBF 2.0, the next tech wunderkind narrative being pushed

@sama You should be able to feed your team with a single pizza. That’s why I’m a one man team; I can eat an entire pizza by myself

@yoheinakajima @sama This looks like his Melbourne visit if my memory doesn’t fail me? Would love to know if this talk was uploaded somewhere. I was there at the time and found it really inspiring.

@sama Altman is the definition of failing upwards. From failing at startups himself to being the CEO of OpenAI and giving advice on what it takes to win lol

Q: What's the secret to building a great product that grows really fast? Paul Graham explains that the secret to growing really fast is to: "start with a small, intense fire." He uses Apple as an example. They started by selling just 500 Apple I computers. Today Apple is the largest company in the world. It's impossible to make something that a large number of people really want when you're just starting out. So you have to find people who want what you're building A LOT. And that's necessarily going to be a small number at first. But that's ok because that's how almost every giant company gets started. PG continues: "You have to know who those first users are and how you're going to get them. Then you're going to sit down and just have a party with those first few users and focus entirely on them and making them super super happy." Another example he draws upon is a startup in a Y Combinator batch making a new mobile email client. Their beta group had one user: Sam Altman. This startup's goal was to just make Sam happy. Sam uses email a lot on the go, knows all of the other email client options, and is super demanding. So they know that if they build a product that makes Sam happy, odds are it will make lots of other people happy too. "One of the things we tell startups in these extreme cases where they can make just one user happy is to act like a consultant. Act like Sam has hired you to make an email app just for him. All you have to do is make Sam happy--it can say 'Sam Altman' at the top of the screen. That's ok! Just so long as Sam would feel bummed if you stopped working on it. That's the test." Ultimately the secret to building a great product that grows really fast is to build something a small group of people love so much that they'd be really disappointed if you stopped working on it. There's lots of important steps to get right after this, but this is the foundation for growth. It's somewhat counterintuitive, but most of the world's largest companies (e.g. Apple, Facebook, etc.) started by building a product that made a small group of people really happy.
