    Our readingIdeas matter little compared to the agency of the people executing them.

    Their wordsI can’t stress enough how little an idea matters compared to the agency of the people executing the idea.

    Our readingCheap intelligence does not make agency cheap, and these tools may mostly compound the advantage of people who already have the skill, taste, money and time.

    Their wordsmaking intelligence cheap does not automatically make “agency” cheap. people are constrained by time, money, confidence, health, education, institutions, family, geography; a model does not magic any of that away. there’s a perfectly believable future where these tools mostly compound the advantage of people who already have the skill, taste, money and the spare time to use them well.

    Our readingGreat ideas are not all taken: many multi-billion-dollar businesses were buildable years earlier and nobody built them for no reason other than that nobody did.

    Their wordsThere are many many unsolved problems in the world, many great ideas hiding in plain sight that were actually solvable that could have been multi-billion or multi-t trillion dollar businesses a while ago, but nobody's building them and not for any reason other than nobody went and did it.

    Our readingAI has equalised everyone: coding, building and execution are no longer a differentiator.

    Their wordsSo AI has made everybody just as capable as everyone else, it equalized everyone in the world, as in everyone can make everything (software, music, images, art etc) now and everyone is equal, at least in the digital realm now

    Jeff Kaplan quoted

    Our readingIdeas are infinite and worthless; vision is the ability to shepherd one into existence, and Titan had an idea with no path to reality.

    Their wordsWhat I call vision is the ability to not only take a great idea, but shepherd it into existence, and you’re doing that through inspiration first and foremost.

    Ted Chiang quoted

    Our readingThe small choices made while executing a work matter as much as the big idea behind it, so inspiration cannot be separated from the labour.

    Their wordsWhat I’m saying is that art requires making choices at every scale; the countless small-scale choices made during implementation are just as important to the final product as the few large-scale choices made during the conception.

    Our readingThinking inspiration outweighs execution is a sign of not knowing the medium.

    Their wordsBelieving that inspiration outweighs everything else is, I suspect, a sign that someone is unfamiliar with the medium.

    Our readingThere are no bad ideas among qualified people starting technology companies; there is only timing and execution.

    Their wordsI no longer think there are any bad ideas. I I no longer think there are any qualified people starting tech companies that actually have bad ideas. I think all the ideas are good ideas. Um, I think it's just a I think it's just a question of timing and execution.
