I had similar takeaways to @satyanadella below after the @HumanXCo conference in my April 15 piece HumanX 2026 AI Conference Takeaways: The Gap Is Widening.
"There are now two types of companies in the world:
The first treats headcount AND agentic workflows + token usage/optimization as equally important inputs into how the business runs.
The second is still in discovery, without a real AI strategy. The gap between them is widening by the quarter."
@mignano I would say now more than ever - the crossover between enterprise and consumer are going to completely merge in a federated, but collaborative ecosystem.
Best practices for all, in the way individuals prefer to work, in environments enterprises will allow.
@Dan_Jeffries1@ylecun Does this mean AI will create more “necessity to work” to raise quality of life? Seems wrong.
We look at low unemployment as the ideal state when arguable it’s not.
This also assumes AI hits some plateau in digital and physical world…
Is it work? Or vibe-vocation?
No matter what kind of company you are...start making your internal company data legible to AI. Today.
As a founder, you are essentially building two versions of your company: the one humans work in and the digital twin that AI agents navigate to do the heavy lifting for you.
Important to note that some additional sound heard in the first video came from the escorting (and filming) helicopter.
Side note: learned that this heliport where Blade operates now has been here since 1956!
Reflecting on the @jobyaviation S4 EVTOL test flight yesterday… awesome to witness. Check my video to see POV.
Quieter w/ less vibration, no exhaust, better cabin layout will be amazing.
And for airport xfers? Blade takes less time than just getting into the Holland Tunnel.
@nbaschez Yes and…
the avg user (personal or enterprise) is not going to want to bop around Claude, codex, local and sovereign ai cloud.
Testing out a system that self optimizes (and tries its hardest) to ensure compliance + continuity of the latter 2.
Goal of “only” the latter 2.
A consumer software rule that has proven pretty true over the past decade:
The more slick the onboarding, the further from PMF
Why? More beautiful flow typically = more setup needed from the user
Consumers need to be able to pick up and use a product - they have no patience!
@wintonARK@BrunoMars Was thinking this very thing today as my agents begin to resource-maxx for themselves and for me.
Watching it operate makes me realize that things will have to change at massive scale to adopt to highly adaptable and agile agents that are resource efficient and token hungry.
This was an incredible moment for me because of what it taught me.
He showed me what looked like a chip schematic.
Me: “what chip is this?”
Elon: “this is not a chip. It’s the factory layout. It’s a machine that makes machines.”
I’ve taken that with me ever since.
