This relates to one of my biggest annoyances with AI Overview: often I’ll search for a phrase to find out whether, and if so when and how, people have actually used it, but instead Gemini will speculate on what it might mean if people were to use it

founder in residence seat, nyc on site

Hi Kevin,

This seat does not ask you to find the idea — the thesis is already validated.

An early-stage venture-backed startup in NYC has the thesis validated, the funding committed and B2B letters of intent in place. It is hiring the person to build that product. That seat is Technical Founder-in-Residence, and it carries the technical direction.

I think there’s some relevance to the fact that while we instinctively hate consuming the products of LLMs, the consumer of code is not humans but computers. Like If an LLM could write a song that somehow made my car run better and I didn’t have to listen to the song, that would be fine
