@dioscuri Congrats Henry. If @demishassabis is hiring a Philosopher, surely he will need a Therapist next. Someone has to help the AGI process its feelings. On a side note, I need @GoogleDeepMind to create a Chief Vibes Officer position and I am in.

Keith Rabois's most famous framework: barrels vs. ammunition. PayPal had 254 people, 12-17 barrels. Most companies have two. The framework is a decade old and was built for a world where execution was hard. AI is rewriting the ratio. 🧵

[Gaurav Singh @gsinghviews]

AI does the work. The barrel decides what work is worth doing. The question is not whether we will have enough barrels. It is whether they will aim at the problems that matter.

[Gaurav Singh @gsinghviews]

AI is not replacing workers. It is promoting ammunition into barrels.

That world is dying. Here is what changes:

Inspired by @rabois x @lennysan
