Everyday, we are undoubtedly evolving as tech-enthusiasts and I believe social media is going to be a huge disruption in our lives. Do you think technologies like AI, VR, Metaverse would greatly influence the upcoming dimensions of social media. Would love to hear your perspective on what social media holds in the future?
I ve noticed a pretty big change in my own behavior over the last year.
If I m looking for a tool for something specific, I ll usually ask ChatGPT first, then check Product Hunt or Reddit to see what real people are saying. Google has become more of a second step for me.
What I m curious about is whether thats actually changing discovery for other makers too, or if I m just unusually deep into AI tools.
We know this situation exists, but not many people are openly talking about it.
Being in a highly competitive entrepreneurial environment is challenging on many levels... not only in terms of sales and business growth, but also legal responsibilities, administration, and often handling most things independently, all while managing family and personal stuff.
I think it's important to be able to quickly summarise your product to anyone who may be interested such as potential investors and customers. A good challenge for this is to describe it in 5 words as best you can!
2 significant things are circulating on the internet simultaneously this week:
A tweet about how a human beat a machine (a 10-hour livestream in which a human sorted packages and compared it to the productivity of a robot).
Or an announcement of a Microsoft AI chief that predicts AI will automate most white-collar work within 18 months.
While I don't think there will be a complete replacement of humans in either case, I do think we will see mass layoffs. My guess is that it will be white-collar jobs first.
Most people use Product Hunt primarily for launching their product, which is completely understandable and a basic thing. That's what the platform is best known for.
BUT I think Product Hunt offers far more opportunities than just launch day. If you approach it strategically, it can become an ongoing marketing channel rather than a one-day event.
Yesterday we recapped our past 3 months, and I would like to continue in accountability.
Whether you have personal goals or business/career goals, write them down in the comments and after a quarter, we will revisit what we have done. (And what we will push into Q4.) :D
I've had a wild ride of a career as an exec in large corporations and as a startup founder. I worked with celebrities in the alcohol industry and on $26 billion worth of M&A deals. Then I built multiple products (some of which are ) as part of my own startup journey. I ve won awards for my comedy writing and was named Product Hunt Maker of the Year in 2019 . Recently I pivoted my business from a document search tool to a product for IT teams to protect company documents from unauthorized access. Also, I like to meditate, burn sage, commune with nature, and collect crystals. I'll be here on 06/10 at 11 am pt to answer any and all questions about startups, pivots, product development, remote work, personal development, transitioning from corporate to startups, writing, the future, and me .
