Description

“Where are the good AI products?” asks Varun Shenoy, ML engineer in his latest blog post. Varun and I talk through:

  • What are the cool applications that exist? Why aren't there more of them?
  • What do (the few) good AI application companies have in common?
  • What technological or societal leaps are blocking the existence of more AI apps that matter?
  • The optimist case and the pessimist case for the near future of AI. As Varun puts it, what if the emperor has no clothes?

We'd love to hear what you think. Feel free to reach out on LinkedIn or by email. You can reach me at daniel@slingshot.xyz.
