…sometimes you're behind”

It's a famous line from ‘Wear Sunscreen’ by Baz Luhrmann.

In Nov 1998, I placed my first dental implant. I was so sure I was behind in a race to the top.

I wasn't.

4 years ago, I didn't jump straight into OpenAI.

I waited to see the direction and the risks and as many issues as I can.

We go now. Safer, better informed and strategic.

We are ahead and soon will be far ahead.

The urge to catch up is powerful. It's a driver.

Always better to think you are behind, even when you are not.

“The race is long, and in the end it's only with yourself”
