Agency > Intelligence I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are

Lately my brain feels more like an orchestrator - directing a network of external AI brains, deciding who does what, what context to share, and what stays in my head. Less solo thinking, more conducting distributed intelligence. Feels like a glimpse into the future of knowledge

AI is insanely good at giving you a starting point. But when it comes to taste—getting something that feels polished, intentional, and well-designed—it still struggles. I’m not sure if it’s a prompting problem, a data problem, or if “taste” is just fundamentally a human trait.

Wow, GPT-o3 is mind-blowing! I gave it a random forest photo from 2016—with metadata stripped—to see if it could identify the location. Not only did it nail it on the second try, but it even spotted a hidden temple I missed when taking the photo! It zoomed in, analyzed

“AI agents” is a misleading term. AI doesn’t have agency. It doesn’t decide goals—it just executes instructions. What we’re building isn’t agents. It’s contextualized AI—models running with memory, tools, and a narrow objective window.

Incumbents rushing to slap AI onto legacy products is like sticking a Ferrari engine on a horseless carriage. How many times do you click on a simple search bar only to get ambushed by an unwanted AI chatbot? AI-native products win because they’re designed with intention, not
