Which stream will prevail: Pro AI or Anti AI?

Today, I read 2 messages that are contradictory in nature, and it seems like one branch is rebelling against the other.

  • Meta and other big tech companies are replacing human workers with AI.

  • Heineken, Aerie, Polaroid, and even Cadbury are riding the anti-AI wave, mocking Big Tech and positioning human-made creativity as the ultimate authenticity flex.

How do you think that these pro and anti streams can affect the evolution of AI and our perception of its use?

Do you think Grokipedia has a real chance to succeed and surpass Wikipedia?

Elon Musk was extremely frustrated that Wikipedia couldn t be manipulated, and he even offered $1 billion if they renamed it to d*ckipedia.

Since that didn t work out, he s now trying to build his own platform for gathering information claiming that Wikipedia is hopelessly biased, and that left-leaning editors influence its content.

How do you manage to focus on your work when so many things are falling apart?

It's a rule that when one aspect of life is going well, the others are somehow failing.

At the moment, things couldn't be better on the work front:

  • I have a great team, and the company is doing well.

  • I'm praised for the results I deliver and the progress I'm making.

  • My networks are growing, and there's more and more interest in my sponsorships.

  • More people want to work together.

  • And I'm co-organising 2 offline events.

How your company supports innovations in your country? (And ways to do it)

Innovation does not mean that you just label something as "AI" or "tech". It usually requires activities that train not only the users of the product, but also directly involve them in the process of general awareness.

How does your company strengthen the innovation of your country? (and now I don't just mean that you create a product)

Which European country will become a startup "mecca"?

America has always been seen as a place where tech startups are born (especially Silicon Valley and San Francisco).

Historically, Europe has been a place for universities and banks (Italy, etc.)

How much are you willing to pay for influencer promotion of your product?

At a time when everyone allows themselves to build any solution using AI, it is difficult to differentiate themselves, and makers are betting on more aggressive distribution.

Some differentiate themselves with good tech support, some build their personal brand as a founder, and some pay influencers.
