Share the idea that's still hazy in your head. Turning it into words makes your understanding firmer. Distill it to the core, and it may become easier for someone else to consume—so they can work on new ideas.

AI may restructure a market before it restructures the company inside it — AI-native entrants start from a lower interface and move value from vendor to customer.

@JackEllis I’m glad you did that (I’m a fathom customer) but it doesn’t answer my question of who you trust.

[Ray Deck @ statechange.ai @ray_deck]

@JackEllis Interesting! What's the size of the smallest cohort of companies you trues that meet that criteria?

@jamonholmgren Who talks on the phone anymore?

If AI had been writing and reviewing its own code for the past few decades, and humans had only recently started looking into what it was up to and discovered an ever-growing list of CVEs, we would reasonably conclude that AI hadn’t been good at coding all along and that we should just start over.

Except it’s the other way around.

Humans have been the ones writing and reviewing each other’s code for decades. Very diligently, if I may add.

If we’re being intellectually honest and holding ourselves to the same bar we hold AI to, we’d have to admit that we haven’t been all that good at it either.

@jamonholmgren My "AI Voice" pushback is from when I sound like I'm _talking to_ AI

Someone who works with a lot of Fortune 500 CEOs says their most common question about AI isn't strategic — it's "when do I get to retire?"

CEOs aren't just cutting costs — they're handing headcount to AI. The honest answer to "when do I get to retire?" turns out to be: reduce headcount, and let AI carry the load.

Frontier AI models are becoming interchangeable gears in a larger machine — the practical move is choosing the right model-plus-harness fit per job, not loyalty to one model, since new frontier leaders keep displacing the last favorite.

“The token efficiency is much better — token cost seems to be lower because it's more efficient.”

“It's actually the thing that surprised me the most about it is how fast it is.”

Where does value survive when AI models get commoditized?

Specialist data, regulated context, or proprietary process — otherwise you become an invisible extension of someone else's prompt.

“Unreal Engine creates bigger unlocks when working with models, which then increases the value of Unreal Engine as more people are able to make more extraordinary stuff with a whole lot less labor.”

“The differential for me comes from specialist knowledge or regulatory environment — where it's not as easy to just do a straight substitution.”

AI subscription pricing will pass through three phases before it settles: generous today, expensive and metered next, then cheap once infrastructure matures — the same arc that took phone plans from per-minute billing to unlimited data.

40 billable hours x 50 weeks is a way to think about billing. Make the hours more valuable: feed delivery with study and selling, then bring expertise and trust to the work. The client can get a better deal while you can capture a higher rate.

@htormey @GroundControl Ben Hardy and Dan Sullivan have some banger books - both those written together and separately
