Redstone, a VC, published an email they received around a year ago.
A lost billion-dollar opportunity for Redstone.
And hopefully, someone at DeepSeek has taken a copywriting course in the meantime😁

Had the pleasure to meet Amjad, CEO of Replit.

Replit is one of the big names in the current AI agents revolution.
It allows users to write, run, and collaborate on code in multiple directly from their browser, without the need for complex setups or installations.

The market is down because DeepSeek, a Chinese company, released a model (R1) comparable to OpenAI's O1, allegedly using less GPUs and spending only 5-6 million dollars (whereas it was previously believed that such models would cost tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars).

This is a knocker-up. Someone once hired to tap on windows to wake you up for work.
Most jobs will either change or disappear in the next years because of AI. And it's fine.

As a society, we should worry about how to help people adapt.
Re-educate them.

If you want to build a new AI system, remember the following 3 points.

First, are LLMs Really Necessary?
• Complex language understanding? Sure, go for it.

Sora from OpenAI still lacks fundamental understanding of physics and how the world works.

Still impressive, but they overhyped it quite a lot 🤌
