True. But this is also why most products are at least pretty crappy.

From Eric Vishria on how the top AI founders are building products completely opposite of the SaaS era: "One of the things that is really different in the AI world versus the SaaS world, is that in the SaaS world, over and over again, you had people who really understood the customer. And the problem. And then they understood a domain. They understood what the technology was more or less capable of. But it wasn't a real question of if you could build something or not. For example, take Salesforce, Workday, and ServiceNow. CRM existed before Salesforce. HR management existed before Workday. Same thing with ServiceNow. So in every case, Salesforce followed Siebel. Workday followed Peoplesoft. ServiceNow followed Peregrine and Remedy, and others. So they were just kind of, cloud SaaS versions of the prior generation product. They just understood the customers. They understood the problem. And they were just like, here's a better version. And that evolved a little bit over time in SaaS land. But that's what it is. And so product development in that way was done by people who really understood the customer and the problems. And then just took advantage of the next wave. And this is almost diametrically opposite of product development in the AI era. When I look at the teams that are having the most success today, they have intimate knowledge of the models. They are right on the frontier of understanding which models are better at what, and why, and when. And what they're going to be good at and what they're not going to be good at. And what they're spending their time on, is figuring out how do I apply this capability of this model to this domain or to this user. So they're actually working inside out or technology out, versus customer problem in. And of course, they understand the customer problem. And a lot of times they have firsthand knowledge of it. But they're really close to the metal and capability, and they're applying it. And I think this is a really different way to develop products than in SaaS. I started my career as a product manager a long time ago, and it's almost the complete opposite of everything you learned. "Listen to the customer, understand it, then bring it back to the engineering and product teams." If you did that right now, ask a bunch of customers what they want out of AI, and you brought it back, for the most part, it may not be possible today with today's technology. Whereas the teams that are winning right now really understand the technology and are applying it out. And so I think this reversal matters. I think it's a big difference in terms of how companies are getting built. And maybe even the types of entrepreneurs that will be successful. I'm not sure. You're seeing some real change there. Look at the Bret Taylor's at Sierra. That's a super, super technical founder who really gets it. Brett and Clay really get it. You look at Michael and his co-founders at Cursor. They're super technical founders and they get it. They all really understand what these things can and can't do. And that's a pretty different dynamic relative to the way the best SaaS companies got built."

Steven Kuhn shares a powerful message about how is wife (who is Ukrainian) and her family feel about him exposing the truth about Ukraine! “They are glad I’m speaking out because they know what’s really happening. They know that what the media tells you, what the politicians tell you, isn’t the whole truth. They know that Zelenskyy allowed this war to start, that he took an already corrupt gov’t and made it much worse. They know their home is gone forever and the people in power…they don’t care. So when people ask me, how does your wife feel about this Steven? The answer is simple. She supports me because she actually knows what’s happening. Her family sees it first hand. And unlike the screaming, virtue-signaling, Ukrainian flag-waving activists they take it in stride. They just want it to end, whatever it takes, they just want to go home. You know who doesn’t like me speaking out? The people who need you blind, the ones making billions off this war. The ones who profit while families, like my wife’s, are left with nothing. The activists who make a career out of outrage. I don’t speak out for me - I speak out because millions of Ukrainians, like my wife’s family, CAN’T. I don’t need a flag in my bio, I don’t need to scream slogans. I listen to the people actually living through it. And if that pisses you off maybe it’s time you ask yourself - why does the truth make you so damn angry? Why is anything that doesn’t fit your personal bias a threat to you? Most of you have never been to Ukraine, never will. And when the media stops telling you to care you’ll move on just like you always do. So give it a rest, will you? Think of the people who actually have skin in the game & support them! And by the way, Russians want peace too. Most civilians on both sides - they just want peace. That’s it. Simple.”

#TAEYONG WEVERSE LIVE 🌹: "And there is one thing I’ve realized, that now when I’m alone, I don’t want to talk about the members anymore. Because I felt this even when I was in the military. Of course, I did do it a lot, but I think I came to think that talking about someone else when they aren’t around isn’t polite, no matter how much they are team members". 🌹: "We’re close and like brothers, but still, if you hear what you want to hear directly from the people involved, it’s much more comfortable for me, and I think it would be more comfortable for you all and the person involved too. (I’m trying not to talk about even that member’s TMI anymore. Actually, I did talk about it during the last interview. There was talk about the members, but because the other members might feel uncomfortable. I said that I wouldn’t talk about it. 🌹: "I asked for your understanding. So I hope you all understand. They did that for me . I hope you all understand, too. I think I regretted those things. Talking about the members' TMI or things like that in the past. They might have wanted to talk about it too, you know". 🌹: "And rather than just finding it fun for me to talk about, the people involved need to have something to say when they come. If I tell them everything, what are they going to talk about when they turn on the live stream again? If I tell them everything, they probably won't turn on the live stream at all. They won't even talk". *Pat pat* 🌹: "You all understand, right? Thank you" * Taeyong, I respect your decision. I hope those people who always do that can understand and respect your decision as well.

.tobi lutke removed all the Norman doors from Shopify’s offices because he couldn’t have excellent people surrounded by bad design. Ramp Cofounder Eric Glyman says he learned the same lesson by studying Breville toasters: “ If you care about design, you should buy a Breville toaster.” “ One of the big problems in a lot of B2B software is: it starts out clean and elegant. There's a bunch of businesses who love the product and they start serving more customers and have more requirements and more ideas.” “Before you know it, you end up with these disasters of B2B softwares which require a PhD to learn how to use.” “ If you were to go ask people, ‘What do you want in a toaster or in a microwave?’ They might say I like toast but sometimes I want to reheat pizza. I should have a ‘reheat frozen pizza’ mode. Or maybe you're cooking stuff and want it to be more like an oven, or you want to make popcorn and it's a toaster/microwave and all these things.” “Before you know it, you end up with these toasters filled with buttons and buttons and knobs and dials.” “That is literally asking customers what they want and building exactly that.” “ if you watch people toast things, what they actually do falls into two categories: you hit start and either you've undercooked the toast and need to put it back in, or you've overdone it and have to start over.” “If you look at the [Breville] there are only a few buttons. One of the four buttons is called ‘A Bit More.’” “ No one would ask you for ‘A Bit More.’ They just want the perfect level of toast and it's hard to know that, so they built that in.”

Steve Jobs on how to build a great brand After re-joining Apple in 1996, Steve Jobs announced the “Think different” campaign with the following statement: “To me, marketing is about values. This is a very complicated and noisy world. We’re not going to get a chance to get people to remember much about us. No company is. So we have to be really clear on what we want them to know about us.” He cites Nike as one of the greatest jobs of marketing the universe has ever seen: “Remember, Nike sells a commodity—they sell shoes! And yet when you think of Nike, you feel something different than a shoe company. In their ads, they don’t ever talk about the product. They don’t ever tell you about their air soles and why they are better than Reebok’s air soles. What does Nike do in their advertising? They honor great athletes, and they honor great athletics. That’s who they are, that’s what they are about.” Marketing guru Seth Godin also used Nike as an example of great branding in a blog post a few years ago: “If Nike announced that they were opening a hotel, you’d have a pretty good guess about what it would be like. But if Hyatt announced that they were going to start making shoes, you would have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER what those shoes would be like. That’s because Nike owns a brand and Hyatt simply owns real estate.” Jobs goes on to explain how the Apple team arrived at the “Think Different” campaign: “Our customers want to know who is Apple and what is it that we stand for. Where do we fit in this world? What we’re about isn’t making boxes for people to get their jobs done—although we do that well. We do that better than almost anybody, in some cases. But Apple is about something more than that. Apple at the core—its core value—is that we believe people with passion can change the world for the better… And that those people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who actually do.” He continues: “And so, what we’re going to do in our first brand marketing campaign in several years is to get back to that core value. A lot of things have changed. The market is in a totally different place than it was a decade ago, and Apple is totally different… the products and the distribution strategy and the manufacturing are totally different. And we understand that. But values and core values—those things shouldn’t change. The things that Apple believed in, at its core, are the same things that Apple really stands for today.” Apple’s “Think Different” campaign was designed to honor those people who have changed the world. And as Jobs so eloquently put it: “Some of them are living. Some of them are not. But the ones that aren’t, you’ll know that if they ever used a computer, it would’ve been a Mac. The theme of the campaign is ‘Think Different.’ It’s honoring the people who think different and who move this world forward. And it is what we are about. It touches the soul of this company.” If you’re looking to create a great brand, I’d start out by asking: what are your core values and what does your company honor?

🚨Dr. Jack Kruse on Sunlight, Spike Protein & The War On Your Frontal Lobes ‘I do want you to get into the COVID issue because we are seeing a lot of people with neurological issues, such as myself. But I’m seeing a lot of people that I am friendly with that are, you know, either my immediate family that are so lost, they’re still getting the jab. It’s, it’s horrendous and it’s really sad. Uh, they have serious like mental health issues. It’s almost like another person. Is this due to like the SV40 or what is going on with what’s the difference?’ Kruse: It’s a different mechanism. The SV40 link, the promoter link, we now know that it changes your DNA. So that’s the link to oncogenesis. That’s the cancer link. But this is what you have to understand about the jab. The jab was engineered to destroy the leptin-melanocortin pathway. Why? You know about spike protein. The spike protein has had the charge changed on it so that it immediately goes to the inner mitochondrial membrane. When it goes to the inner mitochondrial membrane, what does it effectively do for the non-scientists? It’s a short circuit. So if you understand what I just told you before about melanin, the engine, and the exhaust, imagine putting spike protein like in between the outside and the engine, in the engine, and then distally. They can knock it out anywhere because the goal is to stop the flow of electrons through this system. Well, the way it starts on the top, it starts with sunlight. Sunlight powers the electrons that go into your mitochondria. So, in the brain, you need to know about how the leptin-melanocortin pathway works. So, you know that I’m a brain surgeon, so I know a lot about this. In the brain, you have a master clock in your eye a master clock called the SCN. It is connected to the retina. So, where does the leptin-melanocortin pathway begin? It begins in the eye, okay? So, the retina sends this pathway directly to two places. One is the SCN, which is the master clock that controls all circadian biology. If that clock runs slower than all the other clocks distal, you get diseases in the distal organs. That’s really what the disease is. Here’s the key. There’s no synapses in that pathway from the retina to the SCN. There’s another pathway that also has no synapses that very few people talk about. That one goes to the habenular nucleus from the retina. What is the habenular nucleus in the hypothalamus, which is very close to where your pituitary is? It is the relay center to the frontal lobes. The frontal lobes are what make you different than primates. And that’s the reason why they were a target of COVID. That is the reason why behavioral changes have showed up. Remember what I told you about the original story about chromosome 2 folding in on itself. The people that were behind designing all this, they know all this architectural work that was done in the human genome project. They know why these people were interested in. You guys are just finding this out now. But people like me have been warning you about this before it even happened. But you know what the problem is? Just as you said, people thought I was crazy when I was saying all this stuff. Then now, when it comes out, you know, everybody wants to talk to me on their podcast and I’m like, well, look, I’ve already done my job as a doctor. I warned you. I told you exactly what the mechanisms were and why it would happen. And these things are all coordinated to take a human apart from what makes them human. And what makes us human, what’s the ultimate output of chromosome 2? These two frontal lobes. That is the reason why you’re seeing so many behavioral changes and you also need to understand that this is also the target of everything else. Why? Because they know that if they can control the circuits in these frontal lobes, you become a slave. And that’s what they want.
