This podcast from VC Andreeson Horowitz discusses how the tech world has evolved from "software eating the world" to "software programs the world", through distributed systems, such as cloud, SaaS, AI, machine learning, deep learning and quantum computing. Most importantly (for us) they talk about the implications for startups, including deep learning based on small data sets and how AI supercomputing chips in the cloud (AI as a Service) is allowing all startups to apply AI to their technologies at low cost.
