Lurking! ;-) Comment from Samir Asadov(@samir_asadov): The most useful AI I've seen is the boring kind applied inside specific structured analytical workflows where it eats hours of mechanical work that humans don't do well anyway.

... There's a pattern I keep noticing across the AI products that actually stick with people vs. the ones that get tried once and forgotten. The forgettable ones try to be impressive. They show off what the model can do -- generate faster, automate more, produce output at scale. And they're genuinely cool for about 15 minutes. The ones that last? They help you see something about yourself you couldn't see before. I've been thinking about this ... ... this is where a lot of AI product builders get stuck. We optimize for output (what did the AI produce?) when we should be optimizing for insight (what did the user understand?). Some examples of this shift I've seen

... ethical line. I sometimes worry they can seriously damage a company s reputation. There are also other practices, such as: Fake purchase counters on websites Buying followers and likes Exploiting a brand s reputation Spreading misinformation Clicking on competitors Google ads to drain their budget And the list could go on.

... Today, this graphic caught my attention: It featured individuals who managed to build significant profit while running their businesses solo, without employees. Until now, I ve seen these more as exceptions rather than the norm. But with AI, nothing seems impossible anymore. I believe this model could start to dominate: Companies will shrink their workforce structures, lean teams of senior talent will remain, and use AI to multiply high-quality output. Highly capable individuals will compete with these companies, with ... ... companies at the center. The real bottleneck may stop being production and shift toward attention, credibility, and demand exactly the issue you re pointing at with "who will buy all this?"
