The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
20VC: Why Scaling Laws Will Not Continue | OpenAI vs Anthropic vs X.ai: Who Wins and Why | How Far Will Model Providers Go Into the Application Layer | The End State for Models: Many Specialised or Few Generalised with Victor Riparbelli @ Synthesia

And I also think what we are going to see is that the value of real content is going to be higher than ever. Because we have a lot of AI-generated content, and I think that'll be a genre of itself. But just like we still like to watch people play piano or know that the artist we're watching is actually a real person, I think that will carry over to this world as well.

Definitely AI-made content, for sure. But I think what's actually more important is what content surfaces, right? Because if you go to YouTube today, I mean, it's like, I don't know what the status, but it's probably like 95% of all videos have like less than 10 views or something. So the content is there. It's a matter of like what actually gets surfaced.

I think a lot about this, and I think TikTok is actually a really great product, potentially a bit of an unpopular opinion. When I look at my TikTok feed today, I would say it's 90% highly informative, educational, really great content. It's about music production. It's about the music that I like. It's about politics, about tech. I see your face once in a while.

I think it's an amazing feed of interesting people. What TikTok has done really well is that they built the graph based on your interests, not on your social connections.

of that as well and i think that model is actually extremely powerful what i do want to see is a bit more control over your algorithm right so today it's basically like i think everyone has this like intuitive thing which is like if you see content you don't want to see more if you swipe really quickly because you know the algorithm will kind of notice that you swipe quickly past that so you're kind of almost trading the algorithm yourself i think that's like an awesome way of doing it but a bit more control maybe you can say like these particular topics just don't show it to me i'm not interested in it

And then I also think what TikTok has done really well is because they have this like really great interest graph, they know a lot of people who are very interested in specific areas. When you post a piece of content yourself, they basically show that content to like a couple of hundred of people and they quickly sense, do those hundred people like the content or not like the content, right?

And if they don't like the content, you go in the trash. If someone kind of likes a little bit, they'll show it to a bit more people and they'll try to figure out what's actually great content. I mean, if you look at TikTok's usage, right, I think that's very clearly working really well. Should TikTok be banned? I tend to believe that it's a moral panic more than anything.
