What mattered was every other company got together and agreed on a format. The size of their market caused hollywood to release more movies in that format which made more people buy. The super long mode became more important later.
They need one or at least the idea of one if they want to deter Israel who has 200/300 bombs. If they don't want to end up like Iraq or Syria they kind of need this.
I don't want to sound like I'm trying to one-up you, but I've basically vibe coded the entire internet.
I'm surprised nobody thought of it before me but basically the LLM's are trained on the internet and I just had it spit back out everything.
It's running in parallel so I can validate it, which of course I'm using LLM's to do that.
Once it's ready I will put it on the market, but get this, my internet will be cheaper than the current internet. I'll probably just make it one cheaper, like if the current internet costs, for example, 7, I'll make my internet cost 6.

That would be cheating.
If the exam is 'gate keeping', I will say that it is a gate worth keeping.
To be clear, I am not against alternative forms of education. Degrees are optional. But if you want a degree, there have to be exams and cheating has to be prevented.
Marketing is the moat llms haven't been able to overcome. Being able to create a Word clone is easier but the difficulty of selling it is as hard or harder than ever.
Show me an llm that can sell my product and find market fit.
In reality llms are taking away profitable tools and keeping the revenue themselves.
Right
Very Rory Sutherland kind of thought - marketing doesn’t make sense. It is alchemy.
If I told you the drink tastes bad, is an off putting color, comes in a small bottle, and is expensive you wouldn’t believe it would work. But Red Bull made billions.
There's definitely folks working on automatically marketing via LLMs, but I have my doubts that it wont just numb people further to marketing as we are close to saturation.
My thought/worry on a lot of the LLM agentic workflow personal assistant stuff is it is just ripe for fraud. The money is more on the adversarial side.
People think they'll just have a personal bot out there buying airline tickets, hotel rooms, jeans, new phone, etc. Meanwhile as soon as you have agents like this out in the wild, the capital will flow to bad actors creating bots to game those bots.
The world is PvP unfortunately. There is more money to be made skimming agents trying to buy stuff than there is in getting people to pay for a personal assistant agent subscription.
It's like why a lot of ad-based stuff doesn't offer a premium option for people to pay to opt out (ex Youtube). The people who can afford to pay and avoid search/social media/etc advertising are exactly the people you can make a lot of money advertising to.
Also, wtf are people doing with their lives where a significant amount of time is spent on stuff like this? It only takes a few minutes to book a flight or hotel/airbnb. Shopping for things can be fun, and if it isn’t, again, a few minutes. The amount of time that a “personal assistant” would save me is minuscule and probably actively harmful.
Are people just so addicted to doomscrolling or whatever that they just can’t spend a few minutes of their day doing some type of human activity?
