He saved OpenAI, invented the “Like” button, and built Google Maps: Bret Taylor (Sierra)

Bret Taylor, co-founder and CEO of Sierra and chairman of the board at OpenAI, discusses AI's impact on business and software development. He argues the AI market is moving towards AI agents and outcome-based pricing, emphasizing agents will drive productivity gains by autonomously accomplishing tasks. Taylor shares his experience with FriendFeed, noting their focus on product over marketing led to losing out to Twitter, highlighting the importance of external perspectives and advice. He also touches on the future of coding, suggesting a shift towards operating code-generating machines and the need for systems thinking.
