AI Builder in Residence

Other

• AI is commoditising craft and will soon commoditise taste.
• What it can't commoditise is what we deeply, weirdly care about as humans.
• We were forced, and still are to a big extent, to find people who do jobs that must be done. But when any job can be done, we are left to ask: what is worth building?
• We are entering a new generation of builders who will be more and more similar to artists.
• Artists never create what must be created, cause there is nothing that must be created. They create what they want to create as an act of self-expression, and expression is forward-looking.
• It makes a statement about what could be .
• This will give rise to beautiful companies.
• The companies that will shape roles around people who deeply care about what others don't even notice will create things that others don't even imagine.
• This is already happening.
• Stripe launching a book publishing company. A16Z launching a new media division. Early-stage startups launching fellowships and residencies.
• If this resonates with you and you feel you want to build something weird with us that only you can see, please apply.
