[Highlight] Eric Yuan & Reid Hoffman on Startups vs. Big Tech in the AI Era

Where do startups and large companies, you know, kind of have and I think AI changes the landscape a little bit, but the principles show the same, which is in the things that a large company is doing most centrally and where its position gives an advantage is a terrible idea for a startup to go after. So, like, you go, well, you know, I've got a new, you know, desktop search idea. Like, I'm just gonna do desktop search now. That's different than chat GBT and so forth. Desktop search, and I'm gonna go after that. That's that's that's that's not a good idea because it's like, okay. Google and then even Bing and all the rest. Now being said, all these large companies have lots of efforts. And so you go, well, but wait a minute. Google is doing this over here or or, you know, Amazon's doing this over here or whatever. You go, well, actually, in fact, if it's not in the core set and doesn't leverage the key assets that the large company has and is broadly potentially available to start ups, because start ups can take risks, do go to market, move faster, be much more focused, you know, because there's a bunch of things that large companies will simply not take risks about that's outside the core three, five things that they're doing. You know, maybe one is a top line. And so you can view all that stuff. And so it it kind of comes to a score of, you know, do I actually have a really bold idea? Is there a really smart risk? Do I have a go to market? Do I have a distribution possibility? Usually, distributions, one of the hardest things to get to. And so I think there's a broad range. And part of what to to build on Eric's comment on look. With AI, you can make a whole bunch of new things. You might see something that other people don't see. You might see have a a speed and a risk of, like, I'll build it and I'll deploy it, and I'll see what happens. Like, just building and deploy it doesn't happen in the large companies. It can happen in the start ups. Right? And kinda see kinda what's going on. And so that's the kind of thing that I think is a very broad surface. And part of the thing that I love about being a tech investor is the things that I hadn't thought about that someone shows up and goes, oh my god. That's amazing. There's like the Airbnbs. It's like like, oh, woah. That's that's a great idea. Like And, you know, and to read, you were doing start doing start ups for so many years. Building start ups, investing in start ups. Investing in start ups. Now that you spent the last few years on the Microsoft board, I guess, has that given you a new appreciation of the …
