Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Elizabeth Knopf (https://x.com/leveragedupside), where we dive deep into the latest AI trends and their impact on businesses.
This week, we explore the optimistic side of AI, including Andre Karpathy's fascinating vision for LLMs "eating software" and how his concept of "vibe coding" is empowering everyone to become a programmer using natural language. We also unpack surprising statistics on how small businesses are rapidly adopting AI, their top use cases from content creation to data analysis, and why so many still feel stressed by this transformative technology.
I discuss why the market is pushing for AI tool consolidation and what becomes the most crucial factor when products become commoditized: the trusted distribution channel. Plus, Liz shows me how AI is tackling the "Turing test" of white-collar jobs by automating complex tasks like creating PowerPoint presentations with tools like Claude and Gamma, making it incredibly easy for anyone.
Enjoy the conversation!
