WHEN KNOWLEDGE IS CHEAP, INSIGHT IS EVERYTHING

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Cheap inputs explode demand for those inputs. In 1769, James Watt patented a more efficient steam engine and British coal use rose tenfold over the next century. That is the Jevons paradox. The same will happen with AI and knowledge work. As the cost of finding, translating, and synthesizing information collapses, the bottleneck moves to insight, taste, and producing something new from cheap material. The moat shifts from access to information to what you do with it.
