a16z(@a16z):Ben Horowitz on the two skills that will matter more than ever before in an AI world: creativity and relationships. "I think those are things that are hard to get out of today's AI in a very good way. So if you don't have instincts around those things, I don't know if all the AI in the world could help you. Whereas the grind-them-out tasks, AI is already really good at." "Do you have original ideas? Can you establish and maintain very high quality, high fidelity relationships with people off the rip? I think people don't think about that enough." "One big advantage I think that we have is we really look for that. Many just ignore that whole thing, like it's not a thing... It's a thing." @bhorowitz w/ @Tocelot
