Reacts: Smarter AI & The Future of Work | OpenAI o1 | Zuckerberg’s New Swagger

Is AI getting smarter, and what does that mean for the future of work? Plus, how is Zuckerberg's new public persona shaking things up at Meta?

In this week’s Reacts episode, Chris Saad is joined by Jordan Crook, former deputy editor at TechCrunch and current partner at Betaworks, along with Amir Shevat, a seasoned tech executive and investor.

Together, they break down the latest tech and business trends:

• OpenAI O1: The Smartest AI Ever?: OpenAI’s groundbreaking new O1 model is changing the landscape for developers and startups. Is this the smartest AI ever created, or just another step in AI’s evolution?

• The Future of Work: 1 Billion, 3 Employees. AI is transforming how companies scale, with some earning $1 billion with just 3 employees. The discussion unpacks synthetic employees and how AI is redefining the workforce of tomorrow.

• Zuckerberg’s New Swagger: Mark Zuckerberg is done apologizing and has adopted a bold new attitude. How is this shift impacting Meta and the tech leadership landscape, especially in the Elon Musk era?

EDU: Conviction - The Essential Ingredient For Focus & Scale 

In the brutal world of startups, conviction is your greatest weapon. It fuels momentum, sharpens decisions, and separates thriving startups from those that fade away.

Conviction isn’t blind faith or passion. It’s clarity of purpose and commitment to a path, even when challenges arise. Without it, you risk losing focus and becoming a "technology-backed services company" or, worse, facing a slow startup death.

In this episode, Chris Saad and Yaniv Bernstein explore why conviction is vital for startup survival and how founders can build, sustain, and spread it within their teams.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• Why conviction is more than just passion—and how they differ.

• The 7 essential elements of conviction, from vision and constraints to intuition and leadership.

• Why startups must move fast and how conviction fuels speed and momentum.

• How failing fast with conviction is better than drifting in "zombie mode."

• How faith in your team and your ability to execute is crucial to maintaining conviction.

• How smart constraints sharpen your focus and make your startup a "sharp knife" that can cut through the noise.

• Why conviction helps you ignore distractions, push against short-sighted advice, and stay true to your original vision.
