From building culture as a product to tech-powered parenting, Dharmesh shares insights into why he’s still betting on humans,  even in the age of powerful AI tools. Cam’s notes on Substack: promptedwithcam.substack.com Key Quotes:  “Culture is the product you build for your team.” “I think of an AI agent as a very adept intern… But when they show up for their first day of work, they don’t know about your business, they don’t know about your policies, they don’t know about their teammates. They don’t know anything other than all the external training that they’ve had.” “In a way, creativity is combining primitives that already exist in novel and unique ways… AI is good at connecting the dots ” “Money is still on the humans.

It can do volume and it can do it really quick and can give you all the different options, but taste will allow you to know what to ask from it.” “We’re on the sidelines looking at the robot surf and saying like, no, you’re doing the surfing wrong, but the robot is doing the surfing. It’s the fun part, you know?” “I wish sometimes that LLMs…potentially have a slider or something that’s the friction slider…at the moment, it feels like it’s all the way up and it’s always…just like a yes man, and it’s always saying, yes, you’re the best.” “Taste is a skill that you have to develop.
