As far as valuable metrics go, “cumulative sales” is only one step removed from “combined years of experience” 🙃
Tip: Cumulative sales show nothing. They actually show you are measuring your business on the wrong metric.
Break it down, month by month, net negative churn, rate of expansion.
Go granular, it is important.

Autonomous agents like BabyAGI and AutoGPT are Silicon Valley's latest AI obsession.
We spoke with VCs and founders about this technology's potential and concerns around safety and AGI. "It's almost like you're putting a monster in a box," one VC said.

This quote has stuck with me for the past ~four months and rings true today.
The progress we are seeing now feels incredibly vertical, and makes 2020-early 2022 feel incredibly flat.
interesting to me how many of the ChatGPT takes are either "this is AGI" (obviously not close, lol) or "this approach can't really go that much further".
trust the exponential. flat looking backwards, vertical looking forwards.
