Wow. This one video is better than 50 books. (And a lot easier to digest.)

Wow. This guyyyy spoke everything into existence. I know there has been some drama at OpenAI lately, but the entire staff rallied around him. It tells me he is doing something right at the company.

Sam Altman honestly shared cores to succeed in competitive environment as well as personal adviosry. Steve Jobs also had such courage & expressed openly as mentor for all.

Now that he is at OpenAI, this visionary speech is proving prophetic. He has delivered everything he mentioned in this speech.

I'm critical about almost everyone. But sam altman is one of the few you just listen and learn. Sam is impressive. Such good knowledge comes from him.

I am thinking about a new type of restaurants : eating-spots, in eating-spots, food keeps changing, chefs also rotate, this is opposed to current restaurants, thanks to this rotation of food and chefs, eating-spots are way more powerful than restaurants, along with that, there is an app, people vote for the food that will be cooked in the next days, menu is influenced by the live input of the people via an app.

I had to master frugality before my latest startup and now I got it! I was so comfortable until I pushed myself into an uncomfortable space (read: broke!!!) refusing work from anyone other than for my business, I learnt the value of a dollar, I know what things cost, and I think of how can I solve problems without spending a dime...and now I know I can win. If you are comfortable and starting a startup (have savings, rent paid for 3 months, etc.) you must figure out how to sacrifice that comfort for hunger because without that hunger you won't be BIG.

So not only should one have a great product, but foresight is also important

What a stunning speech by Sam Altman on Startups, He summed it up so well! 👏👏 No wonder Open AI has achieved enormous success in such a short period of time under his incredible leadership and of course the people/teams.

He is really a straightforward person just like Chatgpt

The beginning minute

One of the most important topics ,, thank you :)

It's funny to see this vid recommended now, lol

Most impactful startup video I've seen!

This is very insightful. Some of the points you present are those things we tend to believe to be true until we face them. For instance; what makes a great team.

So much knowledge destilled to a just one nice cup of tea 🍵. Blows my mind !

Sam always present the best idea. thank you

Best structured checklists for startups 👍👍

This is incredible. Thank you so much!

Great work. Amazing to see all the hard work gone into OpenAI.

Everyone wil be watching Altman's videos now🎉

Inspiring and informational, thank you very much Sam! :))

Oh yes, we can learn a lot from that. Thank you very much! 😊

its very surprising how video like this only get 1.2million view its like people don't even try to learn

1. 80% of the work is making a product so great that people spontaneously share 2. It must be easy to explain and sound interesting because if it isn't, it means the need is not big enough or that your thinking is unclear 3. Look for a market with exponential growth (one that will grow every year) and ride the wave 4. Real trends that will happen are ones that early adopters obsessively use and rave about and fake trends are ones that aren't used enough 5. An evangelical founder who can talks to the press and infect the world 6. Have an ambitious vision but not too grandiose. Grow it organically as your startup grows 7. Be confident and definite in your vision but be flexible 8. You need optimists 9. You need idea generators but not too many (most of them will be bad) 10. Persevere with spirit that you can overcome 11. Be biased towards action (move fast) 12. Never lose momentum 13. A strong competitive advantage (long-term) 14.

Thank you. This is amazing.

10:19 This is why I think the Rust language is actually more challenging for startups, because it allows for less "rule bending" to maybe squeeze out some short term velocity. Rust may give you a better product quicker, but you will have to pull through longer valleys where your product doesn't show progress, because you are deep in the code working on the next milestone.

Great presentation style

Sensible and highly distilled.

The reality is that most successful people don't actually know the exact formula for their success, and it's not because they don't want to share the secret. It's primarily because they themselves are unsure of the precise path they took to succeed. They simply did what they believed would be beneficial to promote their product or achieve their goals. The problem arises when people attempt to replicate someone else's success, not realizing that the same strategies may not work for them due to various factors such as timing, location, language, and competency. As for startups like Y Combinator and others, their primary objective is to attract as many people as possible, as they are actively seeking to acquire more customers just like any other startup. Therefore, the employees of these startups will do their best to convince you to join them.

Thank you!

this guy is going to be something in 2023

Insane to listen to this now. Given all that's happened with OpenAI and their achievements. It's like a prophecy fulfilled.

Loved the fact that there was no filler material. Everything was conscience and to the point. I have one disagreement. The first point said, make a product that people will talk to about their friends. How about startups/products that cater to businesses?
