THE GREAT FLATTENING

The backlog is becoming less of a capacity problem and more of a choice as intelligence costs drop. AI allows people to execute a hundred ideas for the cost of one, allowing founders to build them all and find out which ones matter. The constraint shifts from 'can we build it?' to 'can we identify what to build, and can we sell it?' The companies that see this are already flat by design: fewer engineers, larger token spend, faster shipping, and a direct line from a customer's sentence to merged code.

READING BETWEEN THE APPLE V. OPENAI LAWSUIT LINES

OpenAI was hoping that its hardware would be a key differentiator against other frontier labs. Apple's lawsuit against OpenAI may cause it to rethink its hardware plans. The case will bog down OpenAI's resources for the next several months, or potentially years, and make some would-be partners question their decisions. It may send OpenAI back to the drawing board to ensure any hardware isn't touching anything close to the IP that Apple controls.
