Given how much the US economy has centralized profits to the financial sector - market inefficiency that is quantitative and automate-able with ML - it’s unfortunate to see Stripe pivot industries to expand TAM rather than doubling down on

If the leaked data is to be believed, OpenAI is spending 40% of revenue on sales and marketing, which is not the OPEX profile of a product-led technology company Broadly speaking, companies that spend 40%+ of revenue on sales and marketing

You still can. Most people have more and less social periods of their lives. I have plenty of _very_ social friends in their 40s/50s who weren't as social in their 20s. Or the opposite. Life is long, and many of us need decades fo
