Interesting. Who knows. it’s possible. I will not discard something like that.
If you ask me about a big number, I will guess 100k. 10k could be a more reasonable range.
According with a basic search:
"As of 2024, there are approximately 70,000 AI companies worldwide.
- About 1 in 4 AI companies are based in the US
- Over 115 million companies currently use AI
- About 2 in 5 (42%) companies are exploring the use of AI
- Global AI funding grew by 7x between 2015 and 2019
- In 2021, AI global funding doubled to $66.8 billion
- A record 65 AI companies reached $1B+ valuations in 2021"
A million new ideas (applications) for openAI converge2 or just a thousand (as the previous comment), probably are out the range in my opinion.
Only 12-15 slots available. Pretty sure that more than 100 excellent ideas/proposals are on the table from whatever is the number of applications.
Good luck to everyone, including our team.
