Over 50% of startups fail (and that number goes up to 75% for venture backed startups).

We are moving from value-in-exchange to value-in-use. You don’t want to buy a car, you want to buy mobility.

Years ago, Johnny Cochrane convinced a jury that OJ Simpson was not guilty of murdering Nichole Simpson. While there were undoubtedly many factors that led to the acquittal, one of the biggest factors was the gloves. When OJ tried on the gloves in the witness stand, the gloves did not seem to fit his hands. Cochrane then uttered the famous line in his closing: if the gloves do not fit you must acquit.

At the same time, we want to control and be able to predict future events and maintain our old self-concepts.

It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
