What if the “AI revolution” is actually… stuck in the messy middle? In this episode, Benedict Evans returns to tackle the big question we left hanging a year ago: Is AI a true paradigm shift, or just another tech platform shift like mobile or cloud? One year later, the answer is more complicated — and more revealing — than anyone expected.Benedict pulls back the curtain on why, despite all the hype and model upgrades, the core LLMs are starting to look like commodities. We dig into the real battlegrounds: distribution, brand, and the race to build sticky applications. Why is ChatGPT still topping the App Store charts while Perplexity and Claude barely register outside Silicon Valley? Why did OpenAI just hire a CEO of Applications, and what does that signal about the future of AI products?We go deep on the “probabilistic” nature of LLMs, why error rates are still the elephant in the room, the future of consumer AI (is there a killer app beyond chatbots and image generators?), the impact of generative content on e-commerce and advertising, and whether “AI agents” are the next big thing — or just another overhyped demo.And, we ask: What happened to AI doomerism? Why did the existential risk debate suddenly vanish, and what risks should we actually care about?Benedict EvansLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/benedictevansThreads - https://www.threads.net/@benedictevansFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) Intro (01:47) Is AI a Platform Shift or a Paradigm Shift?

Welcome back! Today, we're joined by one of the most insightful voices in tech - Benedict Evans, former Andreessen Horowitz partner and founder of Benedict's Newsletter. Over the last ten years, Benedict has independently predicted huge waves in tech, often before others. If you've followed the evolution of technology, it's likely you've read his work. Benedict has spent 20 years analysing media and technology, and worked across equity research, strategy, consulting and venture capital. He's now an independent analyst.His newsletter now attracts around 200,000 subscribers, he writes essays, creates annual presentations and writes a weekly column analysing the new questions and ideas shaping society and technology. In his newsletter he asks the questions: what matters in tech? What does it mean? And what will happen next? And that's what we will talk about with him today - especially regarding AI, product strategy, and who is actually using which AI tools. Plus, we find out what led him to his career and what the parallels are between the emergence of the web and this new wave of technology.Building a purpose driven company?

How can we tell, and how can it improve (or does it need to)?Start with a simple concept - AI gives us unlimited interns - how can you extrapolate that? How would this have been extrapolated for the original internet (create content, translate language, write code, etc.)Use cases are still not easy to see beyond Chatbots (and variants), Coding AssistantsConsulting revenue from GenAI is bigger than technology - and still most/many projects still in trials. Technology can take a long time to adopt - Cloud still only has 30% of workloads (15yrs old)66% of CEO's don't expect their first GenAI app in production until sometime in 2025, 50% at least 2H of 2025.[Shadow AI] SaaS AI will accelerate adoption, if it follows Cloud pattern - external forces are more motivated to attack business “change” than internal teams[Build vs. Ecosystem] Do the LLM vendors become the application vendors?
