Google & Microsoft have had huge teams working on AI for a decade or more

⚡ "Google & Microsoft have had huge teams working on AI for a decade or more with essentially unlimited resources.Yet they have delivered… no major breakthroughs.Meanwhile, two startups—OpenAI & Midjourney—created products so mind-bending that it feels like the beginning of a new era.It’s proof that innovation doesn’t correlate with resources. If anything, it’s an inverse relationship." (- https://lnkd.in/exXQCHzp)That's why we're trying to operate as resource-constricted as possible when doing

The last 3 years I built two corporate startups in parallel.

⚡ The last 3 years I built two corporate startups in parallel. Both were killed. The surprising learning?Short excursion: all innovators across all levels in corporates I talk to mention as the main challenge in innovation: culture.Changing the culture of a huge company is not easy, sometimes maybe even impossible. And: if change occurs, it happens so slowly that it's barely noticeable when you're in thick of it.It takes years and years: time many companies simply don't have. Sometimes the marke

⚡ Tesla wants to build and sell 20 million cars in 2030, that's 30% of the global car market. 𝘈𝘙𝘌 𝘛𝘏𝘌𝘠 𝘚𝘛𝘜𝘗𝘐𝘋?Let's draw some calculations, assumptions and analogies to find out if that feasible at all:𝟭) 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵First of all the global automotive sales market is expected to grow by around 40% to 84 million sold vehicles. So of that, Tesla would need to take only 23% (maybe less, if we assume that vehicles will get cheaper on average). Still a significant number.𝟮

I never wanted to do sales, but now I love it

⚡ I never wanted to do sales, but now I love it. Why? Because I don't see it as such.In my first company, which I started at age 18, I was the designer.Then I acquired a startup (Coffee Circle) from Berlin as a client by going to some university event and talking to the founder. I wrote it off as a luck.Next, I got recommended to the guys at Treatwell to build their website and booking platform.After university I was hired as a project manager at AMERIA AG.

Capitalism creates wealth.In our rather left-leaning society that’s not the hippest thing to say, but I’ll say it: I’m a capitalist;but: there need to be rules to protect the less fortunate and most vulnerable.Let’s create a fantastic future together.Source: https://lnkd.in/enq4edcy--Intrapreneur?

I just came across this graph in todays The Pioneer newsletter: do you see the obvious mistake in this comparison?Yes: gas can be burned only once compared to a battery that provides "range" over and over again.What they should have done: somehow include the range driven into the water consumption.E.g.:- a battery that drives 200.000km takes 500l of water to be produced = 0.0025l / km driven- a gas car uses 80l of gas for 600km. Producing this gas costs 240l of water. 240l / 600km = 0,4l / km dr

As humans, we are successful because we are so effective at collaboration

⚡ As humans, we are successful because we are so effective at collaboration and being friendly towards each other. Sounds counter-intuitive? That's my personal biggest takeaway from "Humankind - a hopeful history" (German: "Im Grunde gut") by Rutger Bregman. In fact, Homo Sapiens even outperformed Homo Neanderthals even though they had a bigger brain. The book reviews a lot of psychological science, history and narratives to prove in detail why being "good" is an evolutionary advantage. It's complete.
