At @ycombinator W24 kickoff today, @sama suggested ppl build w/ the mindset GPT-5 and AGI will be achieved "relatively soon"; most GPT-4 limitations will get fixed in GPT-5, per YC founder Richard He. Expect @OpenAI #GPT5 in 2024 and #AGI in 2025? What's your interpretation? 😂

@4c_cccc @ycombinator @sama @OpenAI Just attended the kickoff event for Y Combinator W24 at OpenAI HQ with Sam Altman. Here are some key takeaways: 1. Startups need contextual optimization more than behavior optimization. Providing more information via RAG etc. can be more beneficial than fine-tuning.

@4c_cccc @ycombinator @sama @OpenAI 3. It's not advisable to build companies that focus primarily on addressing current #GPT4 limitations. Most limitations will get partially/entirely fixed in GPT-5.

@4c_cccc @ycombinator @sama @OpenAI 2. @OpenAI API will continue to be faster, more reliable, and cheaper. However, there will always be a balance between perf and cost. For example, iPhone will keep its 1-1.5 day battery life to optimize for perf even though battery technology has improved significantly.

Wow, #Gemini is able to tell an uploaded video is #AI (Sora) generated or not. Sora got all the "Attention", and Gemini "is all you need" 😂

4. Watching, understanding, and distinguishing if an OpenAI Sora video is AI or not. Gemini 1.5 highlighted the famous Sora cat video and highlighted key factors of why it could be AI-generated. I was suprised by how in-depth it went on the response.

Top 30 Internet company's market cap evolution in the past 3 years -- thanks to Mary Meeker's 2019 Trend Report. Interesting to see how fast the bigger market cap companies were able to grow. Looking forward to seeing the first $2 trillion market cap company soon! :)

If you are raising your seed or pre-seed money, you are in a very good spot!💪 If you are raising Series A, B, or even C round, you are not in a bad spot historically.😄 If you are raising Series D and have no cash flow positive story for your business, you are in trouble. 🥲

One reason @OpenAI is fine with @Apple not paying for its GPT services is that the VC, not OpenAI, is footing the bill. 😂

No surprise that Apple is not paying for ChatGPT. LLMs are at risk of commoditization with increasingly nominal performance differences. Apple distribution is the differentiator and drives brand value. What is surprising is that Google/Gemini presumably wasn’t willing to pay up
