Why didn't your VC friend drop some seed on you back then if the stealth startup was doing 25MM ARR? They probably could've had a better deal with you!

Oh they had $25MM in funding, $0 ARR - lol - the two reasons I decided to leave it as a weekend project: "Thanks!!! I decided not to build it, that space is already too busy, there is a startup with $25MM in stealth, who else is in stealth? On top of that, this method will get stale very very quickly, foundation model businesses are just too hard to work around right now, it's a silly way to do business. My magic is I've build a startup from scratch to over 400 people and watched what they do, it won't be long till that isn't worth much." and "I build it on my own over a weekend, on my own. I just wanted to confirm it can be done therefore will exist, that is all. Personally, I decided not to peruse it because I am old and lazy and don't want to compete against a16z and sequoia funded adderall filled teenagers." - 8 months forward I was right: If I could slap a bunch of python together and create business as a service that actually functions, in a weekend as just me, that's a feature on someone elses product! :)

As someone who would be in a position to advise enterprises on whether to adopt Frontier, there is simply not enough information for me to follow the "Contact Sales" CTA.
We need technical details, example workflows, case studies, social proof and documentation. Especially when it's so trivial to roll your own agent.

I’m imagining this is like ai native slack. Which would be a super useful thing. But I’m with you, who knows? I had a ceo sign up - I’m curious to see one of my companies try it out.

The failure risk of OAI is rising.

Well, even working as an AI engineer is no longer secure. It may soon be the case that all humans work for bots created by others. Is that the universal salary we are talking about?

Great, some more bullshit our founders are going to force onto the company while they never use it, ignore everyone’s feedback that it doesn’t work, and expect everything to be done twice as fast now

Love all these anecdotes and magic stats that they don't have citations for and we're just supposed to believe.
