AI expands the market for work, but value flows to platforms and capital layers above the algorithm â not to workers below it.
IDSD is proposed as an iterative alternative to Spec-Driven Development, arguing that upfront specs make AI agents guess less but still fail to deliver real outcomes.
Anthropic acquired Stainless, a startup that automates SDK creation and maintenance, pulling a key infrastructure tool away from rivals like OpenAI and Google.
Visual AI is shifting from generating pixel outputs to producing editable code artifacts that enable iterative, closed-loop visual refinement.
AI agent benchmark progress is largely misleading driven by drastically higher spending, not genuine performance-per-dollar improvements.
AI agents bypass software UIs entirely so defensibility shifts from interface muscle-memory to data, operational logic, compliance, and real-world execution.

Contracted ARR The reason many AI startups are crushing revenue records is because they are using a dishonest metric The biggest funds in the world are supporting this and misleading journalists for PR coverage.
Frontier AI was financed as a monopoly. Open-source destroyed the moat. Now capital will use policy to rebuild it.
