About

I look at onboarding, first user actions and where people drop off early. This usually shows up when the path isn’t clear or the next step doesn’t feel obvious. Background in SEO and growth.

Will we work for AI or will AI work for us?

  1. Y Combinator startup will pay humans to help AI agents when they get stuck. (This is what I read today.)

  2. At the same time, I see how Indian employees in production have cameras on their heads, and the AI learns from their movements (practically filming their firing process).

  3. In addition, there was already a site where AI agents hired human actions for stablecoins.

  • First, AI worked for us.

  • Now we are starting to work for AI.

  • And eventually, will AI work (without us)?

I don t want to portray a Terminator scenario where people will have to unite against AI, but what future awaits us in terms of cooperation/non-cooperation with AI?

Does having a mentor actually matter in business and startups?

Every top athlete has one (Lebron James, Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams). And it turns out, so do most of the biggest names in tech.

Steve Jobs mentored Mark Zuckerberg in the early days of Facebook. Eric Schmidt mentored Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Google and later credited that relationship as one of the key reasons Google scaled the way it did. Bill Campbell, known as "the Coach of Silicon Valley," mentored Jobs, Schmidt, Jeff Bezos, and dozens of other founders throughout his career.

Which business idea do you think was so ridiculous that it feels absurd how much money it made?

I don t mean this in a disrespectful way or anything like that, but throughout my life, I ve come across (and I m sure you have too) several products whose actual usefulness wasn t exactly impressive, but their creators still made a huge amount of money.

For me, for example, it was:

  • Fidget spinners (2017). At the peak, the global market was estimated at hundreds of millions to over $1 billion.

  • Metaverse land (2021) valuation could be for tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars each, with the overall market reaching hundreds of millions during the peak hype cycle. I bought one too. :D (actually was scammed).

  • Pet Rock (1975) the creator became a millionaire within a few months.
