Nick Perry explains Tesler's Law: complexity in software can't disappear, only move between developer and user. The best apps hide the hard work. Face ID succeeds because engineers absorbed the complexity, so users just look at their phone. Apps that do this in AI could capture the 80% of revenue that goes to the top 10% of companies.
There's a law the best app builders live by, and that's why some apps are so easy to use while others feel like you're starting a rocket. It's called Tesler's Law, named after the guy who invented copy and paste. See, it says you can never actually delete complexity, you can only decide who deals with it. So either the person building the app has to deal with it to make it easy to use, or the person using it has to deal with it to make it easier for the dev to build. Like Face ID is an example of where devs did the hard part, because you unlock your phone by just looking at it. So if you can use this rule to build your AI apps, it's literally going to be a multi-trillion dollar difference because it's what will put you in the top 10%. And in case you didn't know, the top 10% in every market get more than 80% of the money.
