HN discussionHere's the other part - USV did not hire two analysts in an experiment to see if the new agents could replace them. They found out they could not and are once again looking for two analysts. That doesn't mean the experiment failed, the agents were useful but couldn't do it all. https://avc.xyz/usv-analyst-20

HN discussionThere’s a lot of questions in this thread about what constitutes AI “growing the corn” vs AI hiring someone else. This is all addressed in the original blog post. https://avc.xyz/can-ai-grow-corn https://proofofcorn.com/story

HN discussionIt's like I can't grow corn, but I can buy corn. That's not the same thing. I can also write code to order corn for me, provided I supply it with a credit card and pay the bill. That is also not very interesting. Incidentally I clicked through to this guy's blog and found his predictions for 2025 and he was 0 for 13: https://avc.xyz/what-will-happen-in-2025-1
