#2307 Eric Ries: Why Anthropic Won and How To Build Incurruptible companies
- ▶ 0:00 Eric Ries I met the Anthropic team when they first left OpenAI.
- ▶ 1:14 Eric Ries I met the Anthropik team when they first left OpenAI, and they, you know, they left over a dispute 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 8:05 Eric Ries And especially at the beginning, they, they've been the, the, you know, they were behind perceived, widely perceived by a lot of people as being behind open AI for a really long time.
- ▶ 10:28 Eric Ries And of course, we're talking about Anthropic and opening on these guys.
- ▶ 15:11 Andrew Warner Or are we going to now, every turn, be competing with Claude Code and OpenAI and customers who are expecting perfection because that's what they're getting already?
- ▶ 27:51 Eric Ries Like if you're in a, if you're a notice, if you're in a chat with Claude or open AI or any of these tools, if it makes a mistake,
- ▶ 35:20 Andrew Warner And the difference with Solve-It versus, like, if I'm using Claude or OpenAI with their artifact section, I would be editing on the right and asking questions on the left, and we might edit together on the right
#2306 Polsia: AI Agent + Zero Employees = $10M Run Rate
- ▶ 6:57 Ben Cera You know, if you, if you try to hit entropic open AI APIs, yes, they're the best models.
- ▶ 14:01 Ben Cera Unfortunately, Entropic and OpenAI, if you ask them to design stuff, they, they kind of narrow the thinking.
- ▶ 30:48 Ben Cera It was paranoia that actually was unfounded because he sold to OpenAI, and, like, they're not really doing anything with it. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 42:11 Ben Cera Um, I think, you know, I think we use OpenAI's, like, image generation model to create UGC ads.
- ▶ 51:45 Ben Cera Because if I don't use AI to its fullest, it's gonna be, I think OpenAI will beat me at, like, capital and, like, uh, resources and, like, people having, you know, a thousand to a thousand people, they already have them, right?
- ▶ 54:16 Ben Cera Everyone's a creative, and everyone's a founder, and, and I think whether you use Pulsia, or Cloud Code, or Codex, or Gemini, or whatever it is, this is so empowering, and those tools are so empowering, and, and it's a brave new world, and…
#2304 “I make $4.5 million implementing AI”
- ▶ 45:53 Jon Cheney And so there's a lot of tools I'll go out and I'll try the base, 44 and the levels and the bolts and quad code and codex and everything. 2 times in the scene
#2302 Superpowering Claude with 10,000 apps

#2301 How Nat Eliason’s OpenClaw earned $177,417
- ▶ 22:10 Nat Eliason It's using Codex, whereas Felix runs on Opus, and it has a heartbeat where every 30 minutes it checks if Felix has created a new coding ticket for it.
#2299 Zapier is using AI to sell to AI
- ▶ 17:08 Wade Foster It doesn't do as good of a job, and so oftentimes for those, I'll switch over to Codex five three, which is the, um, open AI model, and that, again, it's not as good conversationally, but it is just, like, much, much better, and so, like,…
- ▶ 23:02 Andrew Warner And then how do you tell, uh, Opus for six in this case, or, or, uh, Codex, how do you tell them that you've got, that they have access to it?
- ▶ 25:06 Wade Foster So like marketing, sales, accounting, HR, all set up on either cursor, cloud code, or codex.
#2298 This AI generates $689K
- ▶ 1:55 Ben Cera Uh, and that's like a Meta account to do ads, uh, an OpenAI account to do Sora videos, like, you know, all this stuff you would eventually need to do, and that Claude would probably tell you, hey, now you, I need to, I need you to go get…
- ▶ 47:55 Ben Cera and so I asked Opus and Codex, so, like, the, the two smartest AIs, what's going on? 3 times in the scene
#2297 Elad Gil backed 40 unicorns. This is next

- ▶ 8:47 Elad Gil and so I don't, I actually think, um, through things like all the different coding models, you know, cloud code, or open AI, or cognition, or, like, it's gonna put the power of building things in the hands of millions of people who… 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 27:43 Elad Gil So one thing that, um, I might even be working on is, um, taking, uh, working with OpenAI and Anthropic and, um, 11 and a few other folks on taking, uh, the world's most important books and using machine translation to translate them into… 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 28:28 Elad Gil We've been doing really interesting things with like open AI and deep research and, you know, so 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 41:49 Elad Gil Open AI is that way.
#2290 He’s building an AI media empire
- ▶ 19:38 Ricardo Vice Santos Why that the family, family products, as opposed to, you know, for instance, you have, you have OpenAI doing Soda, you know, which is essentially, uh, beyond the model is, um, you know, a social network, you know, essentially, if you will,…
- ▶ 24:53 Ricardo Vice Santos This is why it's, it's kind of known that, you know, Sora, you know, OpenAI Sora is literally burning, it's been said to be burning fifteen million dollars per day, right, on the, on the, on the app, essentially, uh, with people like…
#2289 Building companies using Zapier’s AI automations

#2284 Why is Morning Brew’s founder selling “AI Transformation”?
- ▶ 7:04 Arman Hazarkhani And so if you look at OpenAI, if you look at Anthropic, so many of their releases now that are getting eyeballs are apps that they released and application layer tools that they release.
#2283 How Dan Shipper uses AI to build artisanal AI apps
- ▶ 12:52 Dan Shipper Like yesterday I was at Dev Day, OpenAI Dev Day, and I got this like cool plaque that was like, you've processed ten billion tokens through, through OpenAI, which is, it was so cool. 2 times in the scene

#2281 Garry Tan: Y Combinator Startups Growing 5X Faster – Here’s What Changed
- ▶ 5:20 Garry Tan Um, the rest of us on the outside had no idea, and I think Jake also didn't have any idea, but because he was in the YC community, OpenAI itself was a spin-out from YC research by, ah, Sam Altman.
- ▶ 26:43 Andrew Warner And then suddenly he created what became Jasper and it it's because he got to see the original open AI tools.

- ▶ 23:53 Rob Howard Um, you know, there's ChatGPT, uh, I guess I would say the OpenAI Playground and the OpenAI Assistance, uh, ecosystem has vector stores within it, but you can also do stuff with third parties like Pinecone.
- ▶ 42:27 Rob Howard I think what's frightening right now for a software founder is number one, Google can usurp you or open AI can, you know, do the thing that you're doing.
#2278 How to build a $15M/year AI company.
- ▶ 41:04 Andrew Warner Because this was months before ChatGPT came out and like literally months before ChatGPT came out, you guys raised June, 2022, November, 20, 22, OpenAI came out with ChatGPT.
