@typesfast @LightconePod The biggest logistics inefficiency isnt in warehouses or last mile - its in the 47 handoffs between order and delivery that still happen over email.

@typesfast @LightconePod The "shockingly manual" part is real. Ran logistics ops across 16 fulfillment centers and the amount of Excel, WhatsApp messages, and phone calls holding it together would surprise most tech people. The digitization gap in physical logistics is still enormous.

Ryan Petersen on what Paul Graham told him when he stepped down as Flexport CEO Y Combinator founder Paul Graham was Flexport’s first investor. Ryan Petersen recalls telling Paul that he was hiring Amazon’s Dave Clark to replace him as CEO in 2022: “No one has ever been more disappointed in me than when I told PG that I was hiring a CEO,” Ryan remembers. Paul first asked Ryan if Flexport was his life’s work, to which he answered “Yes.” “Then why would you ever leave?” Paul asked. Ryan said he thought the new CEO would be better for the company. “That’s like saying some other guy is going to be a better husband for your wife!” PG exclaimed. “It might be true, but you don’t act on it!” Then PG offered Ryan the following advice: “If this is your life’s work, and you think he’s better than you. You need to go learn all of the things that he’s better than you at so that you can come back and do the job.” And that’s exactly what Ryan did. After a year, he returned as CEO of Flexport.

Last week, Flexport released an AI agent that can audit bills from shippers and truckers against the actual logs to ensure its customers are invoiced correctly. The product was just an idea 3 days before. "We probably pivoted 30% to 40% of our engineers now just to building agents," founder Ryan Petersen (Ryan Petersen) says. "There's way less planning than there used to be at Flexport in the roadmap. It used to be a one year strategic plan. Now you're like, ‘Alright, let's go see if you can make this work, come back to me two days later.' And it works, because of AI.” Catch the full interview on The Upstarts Podcast: YouTube: Apple: Spotify:

Flexport CEO Ryan Petersen explains why your initial vision for your company is probably wrong When Ryan first applied to Y Combinator he wanted Flexport to be “TurboTax for customs.” But that vision changed a lot. As Ryan explains: “The more you learn and the more customers you talk to and the more vendors you talk to, the more you realize how screwed up the world is in this space. Then [the vision] actually gets bigger and bigger and keeps expanding.” Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan says this is a common pattern he sees in startups too: “There’s a misconception that you wake up from a haze and you’re like ‘This is it. This is the vision.” But the story is actually ‘Oh here’s this thing that I know I can solve.’ And then once you solve it and people really like it, it sort of expands and expands.” Ryan concludes: “If a founder is too certain of exactly what the vision is and what the product’s going to look like and how it’s all going to work, they’re probably wrong. The world is super messy.” Source: Garry Tan (Mar 2022)

CHRIS CAMILLO ON WHY AMAZON $AMZN IS HIS BIGGEST AI BET Chris Camillo's thesis: the AI efficiency wave. Every company in the world gets massively more efficient over the next few years as they adopt AI. The biggest beneficiary of that wave is undoubtedly Amazon. Why: they spent 20 years building a global logistics infrastructure that is now poised to get dramatically cheaper to run through AI and robotics. On top of that: - One of 3-4 companies spending hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure - Top 3 global digital ad company - "People think they're spending too much. I think they're spending too little." "Everything I could think of at Amazon right now is a positive long term."

David Ulevitch on how AI is transforming energy, defense, and logistics: "If you start at the most fundamental level, energy—we have an insatiable thirst for energy in this country, and AI compute is driving a huge amount of it." "AI compute will then power lots of things. It's not just going to power ChatGPT, but it's going to power autonomy systems, all kinds of other language models, and all other kinds of use cases." "If you look at defense, computer vision is transforming the battlefield." "Then you see AI transforming logistics... flight operations and planning using AI, so you can have the most efficient flight planning, save the most amount of fuel, and make sure that the least amount of flights get canceled."
