Ask HN: Are Anthropic, OpenAI the last software startups?

There is an ongoing discourse that the model labs will commoditise software to a point every business will build their custom internal software instead of paying a subscription fee to a third party vendor. Apparently SaaS is dead or maybe SaaS margins are dead.Are there real signs of this outside of the wall street sentiment?

The way we educate our kids hasn't changed a lot in centuries. MOOCs are great but completion rate is a real and yet unsolved problem.

I believe the biggest advancement in the field of education is going to come with VR. With VR, we can dramatically reduce the cost of "learning while doing", which should be the only way of learning. With AI, we can provide highly personalised paths for learners.

VR and AI technologies are finally coming to a point where together they can provide a breakthrough in industries which are mostly untouched since decades.

Is there a common place on the internet for such discussions? A site where people can share ideas and find people to work together.

Re:Ask HN: How do you discover new music? on Monday December 22, 2014 @02:38AM (#8782360)
I also feel that algorithm based recommendation services are not going to be better than humans at least for a long time. Algorithms can recommend related stuff well(?) but that's not enough as our tastes keep changing and as you said they don't take risk.

I am thinking of building a radio like service where the playlist is curated by people listening to it. Do you think it's worth building? Any other inputs you'd like to add?

Ask HN: How do you discover new music?

I am planning to build an app for music discovery through curation of youtube videos. Although it can extend into discovery of videos but currently I am planning to go with music only.Is music discovery still a problem? What's wrong with the current available solutions(if anything)?
