Fireside Alpha(@firesidealpha):Meta's AI chief Alexandr Wang says building a startup used to be David versus Goliath when he started Scale ten years ago, but agents have now enabled it to be Goliath versus Goliath. "When I started Scale 10 years ago, if you started a company, you had to be, it was like David versus Goliath." "And you had to be clever and you had to find an angle into the market and you had to figure out a way to compete even though you had much fewer resources." "And now I actually think with the power of agents and AI, broadly speaking, it's much closer to Goliath versus Goliath."
