Your loss, then. There is a reason that "shoot the messenger" attacks are referred to as ad hominem fallacies.
There may be loads I don't like about a16z, but this article contained lots of interesting insights and actual data. You don't have to agree with their conclusions to get tons of value out of the information they present.
Maybe it's the fact that we've seen VCs and a16 specifically push for highly overhyped things that didn't really come true like WeWork, Crypto?
If we go beyond a16, the last decade has shown us VCs pushing for insane valuations for companies that went under after hiring sprees. We've seen Mark Zuckerberg sing similar odes to Metaverse.
At some point you stop believing the next big thing from a certain crowd.
This doesn't mean I am not exploring how to use AI and even have something I am working on in terms of an idea, it's just that caution is advised.
In general, it’s unwise to take corporate comms at face value. Think about what Andreessen Horowitz would like investors and founders to believe and how it would like them to behave. Then consider the post as if it were an attempt instil those beliefs and elicit those behaviours.
