You mentioned that you are interested in AI.

Chris Dixon made an interesting post about how some AI ideas are better suited for bigger companies because of the data and compute needs.

What are your thoughts on what classes of AI problems are better for startups vs. big companies?



I'm not Sam but I wanted to talk about this anyway. I'm working on a side project that deals in the AI space (would like for it to become a business; we'll see how things go when I launch).

Anyway, Chris's article confuses accuracy with capability and is very strictly talking about synchronous AI agents. But I think there is a ton of space for AI related start-ups that don't fall into the trap he describes.

I'm working on a side project that doesn't work in most of the ways he describes (made it at the Launch Hackathon a few weeks ago if you're interested; website should be launched this weekend but this was my submission: http://devpost.com/software/sim).
