"The future will be almost all startups. The average size of companies is going to shrink. We're going to see more and more billion-dollar companies built by 4 or 5 people and it's going to stay at that" This is a strong and provocative prediction by Naval Ravikant, do you agree with him?

With generative AI? Hands down. Small nimble teams will be able to produce outputs that can beat major corporations. If we just look at the content industry, a creator and his rag tag production team can compete with marvel movies now, and that's pre-AI. I'm sure this model will spread to many other industries where AI can level the playing field.
Really interesting PoV. Not sure I entirely agree but its directionally correct. There are important aspects such as brand and trust - customers want to buy from brands they can trust in. Many budget holders don't want take the risk of endorsing a supplier that proves to be perceived as a poor choice by their internal stakeholders - an extension of the 'no one is fired for buying IBM' mantra. What is true is that the leverage that can be gained by AI and the 'as-a-service' economy will rebaseline our understanding of what can be achevied with a far smaller workforce. Dramatically.

Rubén D. sam Altman also predicted this. Whose ideas is this ? I personally agree
He has no idea how capitalism and aggregation of power and money works. But it's a cute romantic bedtime story.

2wIt doesn’t matter if he or Sam Altman said first. The origin is less of an issue here. What matters more is that when people like them with access to capital, technology and talents make these so called predictions, they are already lining up something in the pipeline to create that kind of scenario. This means, this kind of new norm will happen more likely than not. As and when it actually happens, people call them futurists or visionaries who predict perfectly well about the future. These people don’t predict; they want it and make it happen within their powers and resources. That said, i do not discredit their ability to see the future. Rather, I believe in this future version of the world. And I am working hard towards it everyday.
