Moore: Traditional schooling should be replaced entirely by 24/7 AI tutors
“And then I'm on the other end of the spectrum where I'm, like, blow it all up and have everyone be taught by an AI tutor, like, all of the time.”
Justine Moore: App layer AI startups pioneered generation templates before OpenAI
“I would almost argue the application layer companies, like the Kriyas, the Hedras, the Higgsfields of the world, popularized that template format. And did it first and did it better.”
Justine Moore: Sora succeeded as a creative tool but failed socially
“But I think what we've seen is like in the retention data and how we're seeing it used is it was massively successful as a creator tool. Like now my feed is probably two thirds AI slop, if not more. And I, over 50% of it is now Sora, whereas before it was like…”
Moore: xAI's Grok has achieved the fastest multimodal progress in AI
“I think their image and video progress is probably the steepest slope I've seen of any of the companies.”
Moore: xAI is the only major AI lab not compute-bottlenecked
“I think XAI is probably the only model company that is not bottlenecked on compute from my understanding, whereas the others have to make really, like, serious and significant calls of, like, if we let, if we release Nano Banana and go super viral, like, it ma…”
A massive market will emerge for entertainment and companionship AI models
“I think there's going to be a huge market for more of these companionship entertainment, just having fun type models that doesn't need to be like the highest IQ person you know.”
Moore: China has a video AI advantage from cheaper PhD labelers
“And China has really benefited there because there are so many more PhDs than there are here, and it's much cheaper for these companies to hire them to do these dense labels for the video data.”
Moore: Instagram voice translation is Meta's only good 2025 consumer AI launch
“The one good consumer feature I think they've launched this year With AI is the Instagram AI translations”
Moore: On-the-fly mini-apps will displace ad-heavy long-tail mobile apps
“Instead of having to find this long tail app that's running all these crazy ads, pop-ups all the time, and is hard to use and is not personalized to you can just make exactly what you want on the fly and tweak it”
Moore: Merchant infrastructure for AI agents will equal consumer market
“The entire infrastructure and merchant facing side of it is probably going to change quite a bit. And I think that will be just as big as the consumer side of the market.”
Hugging Face and Civitai show non-data AI network effects
“Some of them are also starting to see what I would say are sort of the first kind of non-data network effects in AI. Especially things like Hugging Face and Civit AI, where, you know, you have these communities where people are hosting tons of models or lauras…”
Moore: Very few AI companies care about what users actually want
“Like, you truly really care not just about training the best model for this use case, but also what your users actually want and what they're doing in a way that I think very few AI companies today do.”
Benchmark-topping AI models are not necessarily what consumers want for chat
“I don't necessarily think the like smartest model that scores the best on sort of all of these objective benchmarks of intelligence will be the model that people want to chat with.”
Other US states will not replicate Illinois' AI mental health therapy ban
“I don't expect we'll see the other states go in the direction of Illinois, partially because it's just so hard to regulate.”
Interactive world models will spawn a major personal gaming market
“And then, but I think the second gaming example is more like kind of what you're alluding to, which is more personal gaming, which is like every person puts in an image or video or text prompt, and then is sort of creating their own mini game where they're wan…”
Generative world models will supply unlimited reinforcement learning environments for AI agents
“There's so many companies now selling these RL environments for agents that they're manually creating. And something like a genie three could make that Much easier and sort of allow you to generate unlimited environments for these agents to wander through and …”
Specialized vibe coding platforms will emerge for distinct user segments and demographics
“And so I think what we are hoping to see basically is Like specialized players emerge that offer the best product for a particular demographic of user or for a particular use case. And that will probably imply very different product experiences, product constr…”
Justine Moore: Video creators rely on recognizable archetypes for character consistency
“Which means that it makes it super hard for, like, character consistency, right, if you're not able to start with an image of the same character over and over again, which is part of why you're seeing so many of these viral trends using things like a stormtroo…”
Justine Moore: AI avatars let creators bypass social media beauty standards
“Before, honestly, to be, like, an Instagram or YouTube influencer, most of them are hot people. And now it's, like, anyone can be a popular influencer, and you don't have to be a hot person. Like, how many friends do you have that have, like, are, like, really…”
Justine Moore: Creators choose Fal and Replicate over Google's $125 Veo plan
“What we see is, like, a ton of creators are just going to the model enablement layer, whether it's a consumer-facing interface, like CREA, or more of a developer-facing interface, like a FALL or a Replicate, where you can generate Like, videos on a one-off bas…”
Justine Moore: Foundation models are eating away ComfyUI use cases
“I would agree that more of the Comfy UI use cases are starting to be eaten away by kind of the core foundation model companies.”
Moore: OpenAI scrapes YouTube to train its artificial intelligence models
“I mean, we've seen companies like open AI will scrape YouTube as well to train their models.”
Justine Moore: AI will generate end-to-end consumer brands from design to app
“I think we'll see brands that are, like, logo, product photo, maybe even product itself designed by AI, vibe-coded slash vibe-designed website or mobile app, and then kind of drop ship to the end consumer.”
