Summary

There is growing resentment of “AI” as a category. Some of that resentment is understandable. People are tired of hype. They are tired of slop. They are tired of executives replacing careful work with buzzwords. They are tired of low-quality synthetic content flooding every surface. They are tired of being told that every product needs a chatbot stapled onto it. Fair enough. But there is another layer of resentment that is less noble. Some people are angry because they can feel the influence vectors shifting. They can feel that new tools are changing who and what gets leverage. They can tell that people who learn to build with AI are moving faster. That’s only likely to accelerate as cognition goes from mostly siloed environments to network-friendly. https://intersignal.org | https://x.com/intersignal_ai Get full access to David Seaman's Deep at davidseaman.substack.com/subscribe
