The a16z Show
Network Effects, AI Costs, and the Future of Consumer Investing with Anish Acharya on The Kevin Rose Show

Like, it's the biggest AI consumer product by many orders of magnitude.

The a16z Show
Network Effects, AI Costs, and the Future of Consumer Investing with Anish Acharya on The Kevin Rose Show

It really is.

The a16z Show

Mm-hmm.

And it's the first product to hit that kind of scale in that short of a time period in the history of technology.

The a16z Show

So they've got a sort of unassailable advantage in consumer.

The a16z Show
Network Effects, AI Costs, and the Future of Consumer Investing with Anish Acharya on The Kevin Rose Show

I think that's one.

And then if you just look at the model quality, I think we both experienced this.

Like the Codex models are excellent.

I think the Codex harness is a little behind Cloud Code.

And I hope they'll fix that.

But I think that that's like a hill climb that they can do.

The a16z Show

On model quality, they're right there.

And we're hearing that the new OpenAI model, which is going to hopefully come in the next few weeks, will be just as good as the sort of super secret, you know, my first model that's too dangerous to release.

The a16z Show

Do you buy that too dangerous to release?

The a16z Show
Network Effects, AI Costs, and the Future of Consumer Investing with Anish Acharya on The Kevin Rose Show

I don't buy it.

I mean, maybe, but look, I think that if you actually have a model like that, there's like four independent things that I think about.

So first of all, let's even assume that it's six months ahead of our geopolitical rivals.

The a16z Show

The first thing you probably do is use it for offensive capabilities, right?

The a16z Show

To hack others.

The second thing you do is to lock down all your defensive.
