AI in 2025
When it comes to AI, we need to aim higher than the question: “What if you could press a button to generate an essay?” AI can produce infinite amounts of content; quantity is its game. Quality, intention, taste, originality, vision—that’s where we come in.

I am seeing in real time people who have no idea how to pull their feelings out of them...and to have a tool help them connect these hard-to-see dots in their life and perhaps even make sense of some of their madness.

You know, so many of us in tech, we tend to see the world through the lens of technological determinism, where we believe the course of history will play out according to what is technologically possible.
But the most exciting breakthroughs won’t come from technology. They’ll come from how these new tools reshape our understanding of ourselves and o... See more

And I think more and more, this dynamic is going to show up outside of art.
Things will appear simple or easily replicable on the surface.
You’ll hear people say:
“Anyone could’ve made that with ChatGPT.”
But the more and better access everyone has to tools, the clearer it becomes that the final bottleneck to great work is not knowledge or information.... See more

we could all become dangerous in days. the lapse between effort and result gets shorter?
The key thing to take away from this is that the real expertise here isn’t doing the work. It’s knowing how to guide the work. How to evaluate the work. It’s knowing what is worth prompting — which is really just another way of saying: knowing what’s worth doing.

LLMs may soon do many things we once thought only humans could.
But we’ll keep moving up the stack.
We’ll take those outputs as inputs—and dream bigger.
Some human skills will be commoditized.

Technology doesn’t just make old tasks easier —it creates entirely new standards.
Before washing machines, families washed clothes maybe twice a year.
After that, weekly laundry became the norm.
Technology doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
We respond to technology.
I’ve personally felt this shift.

I used to fear that AI would trap each of us into our own universe. Now I’m imagining a future that’s far more mundane. It’s one where I use AI to write you a thing. Then you have your AI summarize it. Then you have your AI write back. And then my AI summarizes it. Why wasn’t it all just summarized in the first place? Does anyone need to have a ful... See more
If you use AI to write me that note, don’t expect me to read it
