Q: Who makes money in AI? .@peterthiel: "It's pretty confusing. AI in 2024 is like the internet in 1999. It's very big. It's going to be very important. It's going to completely transform the world in 20 years. And it's very hard to approximate who's going to make money, who will.

Surrounding yourself by people who have achieved big things makes you feel like you can do it, too. That's the @ycombinator effect!.
Being around positive, vivacious people will make you feel like nothing is impossible. Sometimes I feel there’s a chance @openmartai can grow to be a $1 billion business. That’s also the effect of @ycombinator - it taught me to dream big!
