Was the AT&T monopoly period of 2007-2011 have substantial social media adoption? Seems to me like the early iPhones were just a very capable phone & texting machinery.

Both, but the cat is out of the box with LLMs and Google no longer monopolizes the firehose of consumer purchasing intent even if OpenAI disappears tomorrow. Someone else will come up. I can ask a local LLM that I download for free what&#x2

Importantly: OpenAI doesn't need to outcompete Google, it just needs to show it can bleed. As to the rest of Google's dominant position, it's an advantage for sure, but every leading vendor whose products turned to shit went

You mean, other than describing 5 possible approaches to the "bootstrapping a marketplace" problem, including a specific solution that worked in the real world to get to 7 figures GMV for the exact marketplace the OP is describing

I wrote about this many years ago: https://gomox.medium.com/i-have-a-marketplace-business-idea-... At the time I was actually doing this exact business idea and one of our founders worked at an airline.

Tell me who you think your customers might be? Or ask ChatGPT what's a good watering hole for them, it will definitely come up with some reasonable guesses.

Depends on the audience, the not-so-technical marketing term for the concept is a "watering hole". First step is guessing who your customers might be.

From the title and the beginning, I was sure this was going to be about the imminent brand age in software with the commoditization of the software engineering discipline brought on by AI.

Don't worry even if your heirs have the password, it's extremely likely that Google will find the login attempts "suspicious" and try to verify your identity by sending SMS codes to a phone number you last had in 2005, d

Got it, it's just an awfully specific term to use as a generic replacement for "cost" when the whole concept of COGS is essentially "not any cost, but specifically this kind" :)

I can't imagine the hoops an accountant would have to go through to argue training cost is COGS. In the most obvious stick-figures-for-beginners interpretation, as in, "If I had to explain how a P&L statement works to an AI en
