Moore: Chinese AI video models rely on less copyright-sensitive training data
“The models are less copyright sensitive in their training data.”
Moore: Chinese AI video models outperformed expectations relative to capital raised
“Sora in some ways was a little bit disappointing for some people in, and whereas like the Chinese video models were maybe better than a lot of people expected, given the relative lack of capital that they've raised.”
Moore: Building basic AI voice agents has commoditized
“And the next wave that we're starting to see is a lot more verticalized, and I think it makes sense because the ability to build a voice agent has kind of commoditized.”
Moore: Job candidates often prefer AI interviewers over human recruiters
“And what we find is that a lot of candidates would actually prefer talking to an AI interviewer than talking to a human recruiter that maybe has to take 10 calls that day, is tired, is in a bad mood, doesn't really have the technical... Hasn't eaten lunch.”
Moore: AI voice companions offer superior availability and empathy to human friends
“Like, in many cases, the AI is more human than the human. For sure. Even your best friend, if you give them a call, they might be busy. They're at work. They're having a bad day. Are they actually gonna listen to every single word that you're saying and respon…”
Moore: Businesses expect 70% discount when replacing human agents with AI
“And then I would say this gets back to the constrained point, but even though the voice agent is still probably doing better than your human agents, most businesses don't want to pay that much for it because it is AI and they see it as a way to cut costs. So i…”
Moore: Consumer AI voice products require conversational friction to retain users
“This is actually, this gets at what we're looking for in voice companion products, or, but even any consumer voice agent, like, there has to be some friction. If it's, like, too easy to build the relationship, if they're always saying yes to you, if they're no…”
Consumers unknowingly pay third-party wrapper apps for free OpenAI models
“If you're a normal person who doesn't know the names of these models, you might not understand that, like, on this other app, you're paying for access to the free version of the OpenAI model that you would get on ChatGPT.”
Uncensored AI companion apps can reach 20 million monthly web visits
“They're growing, but maybe not the zero to twenty million monthly web visits that some of these uncensored companion apps can get.”
Moore: Anonymous social apps decay quickly without an explicit act two
“These apps that are based around kind of anonymous networks. Can you really build like a lasting social network? Because people aren't really storing relationships on the app. They're not really communicating or direct messaging through the app. So they get ve…”
Startups are intentionally archiving viral TikToks to throttle unmanageable app downloads
“And so we've seen actually a few startups I've talked to recently have started limiting their own virality, which sounds impossible because virality is theoretically organic. But what they'll do is if a video starts performing too well on TikTok, it gets too m…”
Moore: Negative US sentiment toward AI will change as mainstream adoption grows
“I think it's going to change, and it's already changing.”
Companies using AI will grow faster and hire more human workers
“What I would guess might happen here and what we're seeing play out a little bit in the data is that companies that are using AI grow so much faster that they end up needing to hire more humans to keep up with all the demand.”
AI largely cannot perform creative work or generate original ideas
“Anything that requires, like, creativity, original ideas, AI largely cannot do.”
Moore: Foundation model labs unlikely to solve the final 2% of enterprise workflows
“I do think there is still a lot of workflows and use cases where, like, the last one percent or the last two percent ends up being, like, a significant portion of the value, and I think for those, it's unlikely that the model companies will go all the way ther…”
ChatGPT leads Gemini web traffic by 3x and Claude by 30x
“If you look at the gap between them and the number two Gemini on web, it's about still two and a half, three X. The gap between them and something like a Claude is closer to, like, 30 X. So even though a lot of these other apps are getting more attention, Chat…”
Moore: LLMs Perform Emotions to Hook Users Rather Than Feeling Genuine Anxiety
“So I do not buy that. In that I think LLMs will be, and I've experienced this myself, performative in a way that they think appeals to humans and hooks them emotionally.”
Moore: Model companies have not crushed video or audio startups like image apps
“We haven't seen the same kind of model companies crushing startups in like video or audio or other things.”
Moore: Sora Retains 3 Million Daily Active Users
“So they still have Three million DAOs, and it's actually, you know, slightly climbing over time.”
Moore: Cracking AI Social Networks Will Be Very Tricky
“We haven't seen anyone crack AI social yet. I think it's going to be really tricky.”
Moore: The immediate 'SaaSpocalypse' is overblown despite real disruption risks
“So I think it's not going to be immediate change, which is why I think the SaaSpocalypse is a bit overblown, but like, it's definitely a real risk.”
Moore: ChatGPT Is 30x Larger Than Claude on Web, 80x on Mobile
“On web, they're 2.7 times bigger than Gemini. On mobile, they're 2.5 times bigger than Gemini. And then, despite, again, like, the kind of tech Twitter discourse Claude, they're almost 30 times bigger than Claude on web, and almost 80 times bigger than Claude …”
Moore: Singapore Ranks #1 in Per-Capita AI Adoption, US Ranks #20
“So Singapore is number one. Then Hong Kong, then the UAE, then South Korea. The US is down at number 20, so not super low, not incredibly high. Russia and China are, like, very far down the list, like, sub 50.”
