ChatGPT just destroys Chegg

On the earnings call Dan Rosensweig the CEO Chegg said "Chatbot is affecting subscriber growth" shares fell by almost 50%.

I think we are about to see a lot more news like this in the next few months.

🧵 Let's see what the hive says
As Tanay mentions here, stock price down 40%... no bueno.

We can see that just a little bit later the price had plummeted further. Down ~50%

Ben Parr also states how crazy this is, given Chegg being a public company.

Also shows that this is not a fad, the disruption of AI and LLM's in particular is real. Very real.

Then we got Joe thats also pointing out the obvious

My take on all this is that we have seen nothing yet. Absolutely nothing. At the rate of which new players are entering the market, finding customers fast, and changing entire dynamics and workflows, we will see a lot more sacrifices made. Many companies will fall.
I wonder what industries or verticals are less safe from AI disruptions than others? Let me know in the replies.
I hope you've found this thread insightful.

Breaking, meet HeyPi 🤖

Let's have a look at this. This is what $225M in funding gets you in AI land...

First impressions, feels kinda of slow, throttled almost. I also get slightly dizzy from the conversation animations.

🧵 Let's check it out

While I like the UX, the slowness makes it feel less premium. Maybe thats because in AI apps we have grown to connect slow with free and fast with premium.

The text fading in on the conversations adds to the slowness of the experience, and also makes me less engaged.
I understand that they are going for a gentle and human vibe, but when there is added friction for me to participate in the conversation, it feels less human, and more fake. IMO.

I feel less engaged in general with slow experiences.
Damn you fluid UI and Apple iOS 🤣

If the future of cars are autonomous. We don't need a front or back. Not even a windshield.

We could essentially make RV like vehicles that move while we sleep, is more of a living room on wheels than a car.

If we re-imagined the car today, what would it look like? ImageImageImage
Could our "cars" be more what we need them to be? ImageImage
If we look at the driverless innovation on the truck side, we got stuff like Einride. That completely is removing the driver, and the place for the driver. ImageImageImage

My kids will never be allowed to drive

It will be illegal for my two daughters to drive on most roads by the time they turn 20.

I’ve said this since before Sky Lou was born, people just scoffed at me.

@olivercameron just convinced me further

I should add that the opinions are mine, and does not reflect cruise. I’m the one thinking it will be illegal or extremely expensive for my kids to get human driving insurance in 20 years time.
It’s crazy that so many people think this is so far off…
