Major takeaways from video:

• 50% of YC focused on AI, but not because they focus on AI, but because they focus on smart good founders, and many smart people are focusing on AI
• Tarpits are things that seem really exciting for a lot of founders, but actually isn’t that great…might be hard to solve the real problem
• Example tarpits for AI: copilot, chat interfaces
• Use UX and software, and instead of chat interface, add in LLMs in background
• Boring is often good
• Example of boring: AI that is able to search government contracts and apply for relevant ones
• If someone doesn’t want to buy your AI product, try to compete with the market itself
• For example: if you develop a product for a industry and they won’t buy it, see if you can build your own company in that industry and see if you can beat them
  • I think this is KEY for consulting for big ideas like I want to do (solve their biggest issue) I need to think of ideas that would run them out of business if I made a company enhanced with AI
• Specific is important: don’t do a catchall, include a lot of business logic
• Prompting and GPT wrappers is the future: SAAS is basically a MySQL wrapper
• AI security is the future
