Thought from the week

AI is stressing me out. We’re f*cked.

That’s it. That’s the post. Happy Friday!
​
​

…Okay fine, I’m (mostly) kidding.

But I do wish I wasn’t so worried about it.

AI is moving so fast it feels like I’m watching an avalanche, and my brain won’t stop spinning:

• What will college even look like for my daughter?
• How should I invest when AI might reshape entire industries?
• Will enterprise SaaS even be a thing, or will it just be ChatGPT hooked up to Stripe?
• My brother’s a developer. Does he have three years from now?
• What about all those lawyers buried in student debt for a career AI might replace?

Yeah, I know. Buzzkill energy today. “Thanks, Ben.”

But here’s the thing, I hate doomer talk.

I’m a default optimist, so I'm going to use the my newsletter for some self therapy and zoom out:

• Humans always adapt. We panic first, then build the future. It's happened time and time again.
• AI is our creation. It’s the biggest force multiplier ever.
• Breakthroughs are happening faster. Medicine, energy, productivity. So much good is happening right now!
• And let’s be real, scary AI content gets clicks. Fear is profitable, but reality is usually less dramatic.

So yeah, AI is wild. But I believe in good people.

We’ve figured out fire, the internet, and how to make Doritos Locos Tacos. This won’t break us.

Anyways, just a weird brain dump. If you wanna talk AI, I’m in.

Interesting find/tool of the week

Nothing groundbreaking to report this week.

Unless… you wanna check out The Catchy. A tray that catches food under a baby’s high chair.

What a stupid product. Stupidly simple. Stupidly high margins. Stupidly genius.

Sometimes, the best businesses are the ones that make you say, “Wait… that’s a thing? And it prints money?”

Stupid.

Image from my life

What a cutie! I'm talking about my wife of course ;)

See you all next week!
