1624681576398262272 | @davegirouard @theallinpod To prove the above you just need to do a Google search for AI based loans. I also saw this @davegirouard, below the ads. I think they partner (or claim to) with Google Cloud, your old pals. A threat? $UPST $AIhttps://t.co/TY0PwzXldk | 1 |

1626624561289494534 | @jkeltner @davegirouard @paulxgu @jhuber @Upstart So before I invested in upstart, in fact I took out a personal loan (to test drive the product) from: 1. Upstart 2. Sofi 3. HSBC. And here is the sum, SOFI asked for paystubs, and approved me for max https://t.co/3x5YMr1HaP⦠https://t.co/HhKnknWBgA | 0 |
1624816709470240785 | @elayavalli @davegirouard @theallinpod @chamath Nobody would care if they're doing charitable work, and of course as an avid fan of their work I applaud that. But they're a for-profit company and are competing with Microsoft, hence they get shit for not being first, which they should, considering they pioneered this stuff. | 0 |
1624675847167782912 | @davegirouard "Bard"??Yeah, same thought. Worst naming in recent Google history. And that's saying something | 0 |
1624786558606770176 | @JimmyWinrar @davegirouard @theallinpod @chamath Once you have something for free, it is very hard to charge for it. Yes some will pay, but that number has to be significant enough to offset the cost of search going 10x. Given the financial engineering they have done on search monetization, I am sure they would have looked at⦠https://t.co/K9NE9Jw8Ps | 0 |
1624806484830715905 | @elayavalli @davegirouard @theallinpod @chamath It's an addition, not a replacement in full. | 0 |
1624809151200108544 | @JimmyWinrar @davegirouard @theallinpod @chamath Yes I get that. Still they will need to factor in the 10x cost associated with inference driven search. Problem for google is that when they release a new add on product with a potential reduction in overall margins, market would react negatively. Now they are forced to do it,β¦ https://t.co/p8De9e0vFW | 0 |
1624810489963225095 | @elayavalli @davegirouard @theallinpod @chamath Yep, under threat even if the threat itself is diverted. Exactly what Microsoft wants. | 0 |

1625900090136178713 | @davegirouard @benedictevans so far GOOG is 0-7 for successfully launching chat apps so I am not sure this will be that much different. | 5 |
1625677413207400449 | $UPST earnings report looks objectively bad in key aspects. Extra disappointing that CEO @davegirouard still took his time to have a side debate abt whether google CEO is "war time" leader or not while his own house been on fire for almost a year. Sad day as a shareholder https://t.co/Q9wXlwK3uq | 4 |

1624579387709325312 | @davegirouard @theallinpod Dave, the only thing you have to worry about is to present good ER to your share holders. Leave the other comments to people who studied for it. | 3 |

1624564112003936257 | @davegirouard @theallinpod As @chamath mentioned, it boils down to cost per search which will go up by 10x if google incorporates ChatGPT like feature with search. That is probably one reason why they did not come out with a product sooner. They will need something else to compensate for the margin loss,β¦ https://t.co/nVeQ6oehEe | 3 |
1624548098633777152 | @davegirouard @theallinpod Right. Same as Upstart - largely un-monetized today. | 2 |
1625550445983973377 | @davegirouard @om I wonder if no one has declared war on Upstart, because we seem pretty chill in the past few months with everything else going on | 2 |
