Startups and the ML landscape
summary
Panel argues practical paths: prioritize ship a de-risking prototype (example: a faces makeup mobile app before full storytelling), test on consumer channels like test on TikTok to iterate product/monetization quickly, and avoid burning cash to train ever-larger models—build on top of GPT-3 or similar instead. Startups using GPT-3 for marketing copy scale fast (reported zero-to-$10M in months); tools like Descript show high-leverage UX wins (audio→text editing). Key metric: get a head start before commoditization.
