The AI opportunity: Sequoia Capital's AI Ascent 2024 opening remarks

The landscape is wide open. The opportunity set is massive. At our second Sequoia Capital AI Ascent, Sonya Huang, Pat Grady, and Konstantine Buhler discuss the way AI is already providing glimpses of enduring value, and how this technology will help us do more with less so that we can solve more problems, create more, and build a better future.

    Love the session. And Pat was being very euphemistic. By "replacing services with software", it really means "replacing human workers with software"

    Now instead of farmers imagine what’s about to happen to millions of software engineers. These people love this so much because it will empower the business people to cut engineering completely out of the process of creating new products.

    Yes at the end of the day we can drive down costs and be better in terms of product but this will also remove the need for humans to do a lot of the work. This is ideal but in reality this doesn’t help people. It just helps the rich people richer and doesn’t grow the society to make them better. I am a proponent of tech and will be but it needs to be for the betterment of society and not just the big guys getting better

    20:53 lacks basic economic meaning, requires inflation adjustment. Flat for 20 years in real terms. That being said profit/worker ratio is a far better measure than revenue/worker as otherwise you're ignoring efficiency gains reflected in margin growth.

    Is anyone working to create a bug-like (inspired) garden drone that can self-deploy itself (i.e. be fully autonomous) so as to indefinitely maintain the desired shape of my backyard trees, bushes, and shrubs? So, no more falling off ladders. No more a need for dangerous tree cutting tools. And no more expensive tree service calls. I'd call it ... The BonzAI Because that is the type of ground-breaking, industry-disrupting, AI product that "the market" will want to see ... soon.

    @9:40 what % of that revenue is just OpenAI? Similar to a company's revenue being 80%+ tied to one customer, one should apply equal skepticism to an industry's revenue being 80%+ tied to one company. Not to say that I'm not incredibly excited and confident in the future of AI, but retconning to fit a narrative never ages well. Update: it seems like you cover this pretty thoroughly after. Well done!
