TLDR

WHY I THINK AI TAKE-OFF IS RELATIVELY SLOW

A large part of the economy just won't adopt AI or use it effectively all that quickly. As AI becomes more productive, human bottlenecks will become more important. Not all bottlenecks will be regulatory: there will be slow adopters, people in the workplace who hate AI, energy constraints, and other factors. It is the worst performer who sets the overall level of productivity - soon, the worst performer will be humans. While AI could boost economic rates, that reality will still be a few decades out, if it happens.

THE PROFITABLE STARTUP

The thinking that startups should prioritize growth over everything else, even profitability, was always flawed - profitability isn't unambitious. It means not relying on investors for survival and being able to focus on an unaltered vision and mission. It's now easy to be profitable while also growing fast. The factor holding founders back is rarely team size - it's the clarity of their focus, skill, and ability to execute. Measure what matters, understand your risk profile, hire intentionally and slowly, and raise on your own terms.
