AFTER “AI-FIRST” COMES “AI-ONLY”
Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter
'AI-first' asks whether AI can do the work of the human pilot. 'AI-only' means extensive workflows in which no human sits inside the operating loop. Humans still set the goals, values, constraints, and conditions for escalation, but execution runs end-to-end on machines. This shifts humans from participating in workflows to being a steward of the system.
