Augmenting Aesthetics, from Fine Wine to Interior Design

Key takeaways:

• [00:25:46] “Our hardware is scaling faster than we can create data, and that’s changing how we think about software.” –Jacob
• [00:23:54] “If everyone’s buying the same canned software, we’ll converge on the same experiences—and that sounds terrible.” –Jacob
• [00:29:00] “It's not that we were necessarily doing things the wrong way in the past…we came up against the limitations of the technology that was available to us, whether it be cost or speed.” –Brian
• [00:37:19] “SQL might just be the lingua franca that bridges the gap between business users, developers, and AI.” –Phillip
• [00:50:27] “Imagine encoding all your knowledge and taste into a bot—your brand's experience could truly feel unique.” –Jacob
• [00:52:21] “People are gonna have to get used to technology having a perspective on what things might look like, and some level of confidence around that perspective.” –Brian
• [00:55:52] “Things are getting easier, and software is finally starting to work for us instead of against us.” –Jacob
