Alessio Fanelli: evaluation

11 Nov 2024 Latent Space Agents @ Work: Dust.tt

“I've written a post called Maximum Enterprise Utilization, kind of like you have MFU for GPUs, but it's basically like so many people are focused on, oh, it's going to like displace jobs and whatnot. But I'm like, there's so much work that people don't do because they don't have the people.”

Transcript context

…That quote was probably independently invented it, but Sam Altman stole it from me eventually. But anyway, it's a good quote.

I guess we're going to have to wait for it a little bit. And I think it's because the dust of the world don't exist.

All generations of company might be the first billion dollar companies with engineering teams of 20 people. That would be so exciting as well. That would be so great. You know, you don't have the management hurdle, you're just 20 focused people with a lot of assistance from machines to achieve your job. That would be great. And that I believe in a bit more. Yeah. I've written a post called Maximum Enterprise Utilization, kind of like you have MFU for GPUs, but it's basically like so many people are focused on, oh, it's going to like displace jobs and whatnot. But I'm like, there's so much work that people don't do because they don't have the people. And maybe the question is that you just don't scale to that size, you know, to begin with. And maybe everybody will use Dust and Dust is only going to be 20 people and then people using Dust will be two people. So my hot take is, I actually know what vertical they'll be in. They'll be content creators and podcasters.…
