Martin Casado shares eye-opening perspectives on AI regulation in a recent TechCrunch interview, stressing how challenging it is to regulate technologies we don’t fully understand.🤖 Startups should play a central role in shaping AI policies to ensure they're practical and timely. Beyond all the valuable insights on AI, Martin also touches on an equally vital point: founders' mental well-being.💡 With all the pressures of startup life, taking care of your well-being isn’t just a good idea—it’s key. Don’t forget it. 😉  #AIRegulation #StartupLife #WellBeing https://lnkd.in/dPV-DuuE

More on the coming AI bubble and bust coming very soon. This doesn’t mean AI isn’t important or isn’t reshaping the market to some degree, just the sky high promises are going to come crashing back to earth.

At every #TechWeekend, there is always one topic that I am personally intrigued about. This time, this might be it! 😎 Giorgi Gulabyan #Founders Founders Village #WeloveTechWeekend.

Here is an interesting YouTube from Synapse on how some notably funded GenAI startups have struggled to find a product-market fit that can generate sufficient revenue to overcome the compute cost. The video covers: - Stability AI (poor leadership, constant changes in direction, hard to monetize open source) - Inflection AI (pivoted product strategy, then talent acqui-hired to MSFT, but without the acquisition) - Cohere (a 450X valuation, with revenue vs cost challenges) And asks the question: "Are we seeing the start of an AI bubble pop?" (Like we did with the dot com to dot bomb) https://lnkd.in/ezjvEetT #GenAI #GenAIStartups
