She's looking for a product genius who can build an AI product with social DNA: status, network effects, and multiplayer dynamics. That'll enable users of ChatGPT and other models to learn from how others use AI and level up.\nOn this week’s AI & I, Dan Shipper revisits his conversation with Sarah.
