Eric Siu argues that community and in-person events will only get stronger as AI advances. While AI can create virtual companions and digital versions of creators, real human connection remains irreplaceable. Companies built on community will become more valuable over the next 5-10 years.
Sam Altman did this interview and he talked about this one thing that's going to get much stronger in the next 5 to 10 years and AI will not be able to touch it. What is it? Community. In-person events, those are going to get stronger and stronger in a world where there's virtual girlfriends, there's virtual— like there's a Chinese-speaking Neil Patel, there's a Hindi-speaking, you know, Eric Siu, right? But community is not going to go away. So he's betting that community-based companies are going to become more valuable. And I thought that was an interesting thought.
