The older I get, the more I realize that optimism is a competitive advantage. Not blind positivity. The belief that problems can be solved. That things can improve. That your actions matter. People who believe a better future is possible are the ones who create it.
@ahmedshubber25 You might be right but with the right partner you aren’t just subsidizing their platform but leveraging things like their dealer network, sales, and experience. Not to mention existing customer base who want a trusted brand. Both are hard.
Maybe if parents had support, they'd have more kids.
Maybe AI agents can be a part of that support system.
Maybe AI uses computers so we can touch grass.
My wife this morning: "Wow! Building out an open claw agent. I called it Daphne. Getting it to build out a meal plan based on our Amazon grocery orders and [our favorite meal prepper's] sample menus." Look what you've done @jessegenet !
If my 12-year-old self could see me now: “Of course I’m still good at video games, drive a cool futuristic truck, and help make robots as my job.”

Honestly, this is the most accurate diagram I've seen.
Waterfall: You plan for 18 months and deliver exactly what nobody needs anymore.
Agile: You deliver something usable at every step, but the CEO keeps asking, "Where's the car?"
AI: You get the car on day one. It has six wheels, the doors are on backwards, and it has a rocket launcher. You spend more time making it yours than actually "building"; it's shaping. owning. verifying. That's what the best AI developers do now. They don't build. They shape and own.
