If I'm inside a behemoth like I'm inside Amazon and Amazon has a product in our category, do you think the employees working on this are worried if they will have a job in six months if they don't ship a great product.

Back in the pre-AI era, it was really hard to come up with good new startup ideas because the idea space had been picked over for like 20 years.
