AI founders are finally turning to paid marketing… and the internet is losing its mind!This week, James and Daniel unpack the debate sparked by Andrew Chen and Bill Gurley, and question whether paid marketing really kills creativity.
They also explore why, despite 25+ years of data, there’s still no clear startup playbook and why that might never change.
Plus: the shift from hiring people to hiring tech, why AI could reward leaders like Mark Zuckerberg, and a few bold takes from Paul Graham.
It’s the funniest era of tech, where everything is easier to build, harder to grow, and somehow… ads still work.
