Aravind had great insights into the startup landscape & startup organizational structure/process. I especially enjoyed the insights into openai vs deepmind circa 2019 as well as how he selects talent at Perplexity.

    Perplexity pushes popularization of mainstream viewpoints in science can indeed minimize the exposure to divergent viewpoints, which may be detrimental to the open-mindedness and humility required in the pursuit of truth. In the context of science, the selection and emphasis of certain viewpoints over others can lead to a skewed understanding of scientific debates and may hinder the advancement of knowledge.

    Arav Srinivas: - Work super hard, & change your attitude early on toward your life, and increase the surface area of your life by giving yourself more shots! - Intellectual Honesty is a must. - Patrick calls for an argument that no matter how good you are or how bad you are, you're not going to make a big dent difference, for the future like companies mostly run by PMs and VPs, and whatever they want is decided by the board & CEOs and those are what matters but it's very different from a startup ecosystem and if you want to truly measure up if you want to see if you're capable of something harder, the best way to do that is to come to a startup and like, you know, jump into the water and see how you can swim, but then that argument works, work with people who are excited about challenges and not motivated by money.

    The reality is, nowhere else in the world could you receive investment and actively not focus on getting to profitability. That simply doesnt happen in europe, africa or asia. Investors expect profits within 24 months or at least a clear plan. The fact Figma was funded for a decade without ever having a profit is insane.
