Evolution of AI in marketing from @seema_amble at a16z:
Capabilities of each phase 🧵:
Underrated info hazard from AI: when employees learn that they can automate their own work & no one cares.
I think a lot about this study, when managers doing processes design learned how screwed up their firm was, they gave up trying for leadership roles in existential despair.

Jack Dorsey on why building something for yourself can be better than trying to solve a problem
When a 29 year old Jack Dorsey joined the podcasting startup Odeo, he soon learned that no one there really cared about podcasting either:
“That was one of Odeo’s biggest failures. We were not building tools for us. We were building tools for other people.”
As Odeo struggled, the team began to look for new ideas, and Jack presented his idea for Twitter. Somewhat counterintuitively, the product would not solve a specific problem:
“Twitter solves no one’s problem at all. It was something we wanted to use. It was something we wanted to see in the world. It was something we wanted to use on a daily basis, and that’s all that drove us. That’s what got us up every single morning, and that’s what made it meaningful.”
It turns out there were more people like Jack and the Odeo team who wanted to use it to.
“I think that is one of the biggest lessons I learned—Twitter did not start as a company. Twitter started as a product within another company that was failing. And to me, this really emphasized the fact that entrepreneurship is not necessarily starting a new company. It’s actually just taking significant risk to build what you want to see in the world.”
