Navigating AI for Human Wealth
I spent 16 hours over the last 2 weeks prompting and distilling the hell out of this topic. I’ve distilled it down into 12 paragraphs (also my win this week). Sharing in case anything resonates for you. “ Here’s the distillation that cuts through everything — the 5-year playbook you can’t afford to miss:… 1. The ground has shifted - The 9–5 collapses into agentic, portfolio work. - The new middle class are micro-operators commanding 5–10 agent stacks. - “Human in the loop” becomes a premium feature, not a default job. - Every repeatable task becomes an API call between two AIs; your edge is taste, trust, and timing. 2. Distribution beats invention - Owning the interface (audience, inbox, UI) is worth more than owning the backend. - Distribution now self-optimises: AI agents test headlines, thumbnails, CTAs nonstop. - The winners are not inventors — they’re distributors with feedback loops. - The faster you test, the faster you compound. - The best product loses to the best-distributed one. Always. 3. Narrative is the new moat - Storytelling, taste, and proof-of-human become economic assets. - “Authenticity” will trade like currency — brands, creators, and buyers will pay for verified humanity. - If AI can write it, say it, or show it — your story is the only differentiator left. - Learn to design narrative systems, not just posts. 4. Scale = leverage × compounding × restraint - Billionaire math = scale + focus + compounding luck. - Delete more than feels safe. Concentration outperforms diversification. - Incentives are the real operating system — set them before you scale. - Iterate weekly, plan in decades. - In a world of abundance, restraint compounds faster than growth. 5. Agents create leverage, but data keeps it - The first autonomous startups arrive soon — no staff, no meetings, no sleep. - Agent-to-agent commerce, agent insurance, and agent distribution are near-term plays. - Whoever owns verified niche datasets controls the next decade’s supply chain. - Every Scaler should be quietly building a proprietary dataset from their daily work.
