THE MAP IS NOT THE TERRITORY

VCs treat the power law like a selection tool when it's actually just a description of what happens after the dust settles. They look at seed-stage startups and ask, "Is this a power law company?" - but that's a category error. Uber looked like a black car service for rich people. Airbnb was for travelers who couldn't afford hotels. Both got passed because investors couldn't model a $10B outcome. The irony is that power law returns almost always come from market creation, not capturing predictable share of existing markets.

Employ rate limiting and circuit breakers to manage resource usage effectively and mitigate unexpected costs or abuse in AI systems.
