@mattturck As someone who was recently a "junior team member" there: 1. Not true, and senior partners would have no idea how long it took us to make things anyway. LLMs were rarely used internally. 2. That's a byproduct of desperation in a slow market for consulting. Nothing to do with AI.

Can someone explain how Masterclass gets all these rich people to make content for them? Site has only 2M subscribers ($120+/yr — don’t know anyone subscribed) so reach is super limited, and I doubt people like Ray Dalio, Melinda Gates, and George Bush cared much about the money.
