This Is the Cheapest AI Will Ever Be
AI right now is your $1.50 Uber ride. Today's AI companies are running the same playbook. They're spending hundreds of millions to train frontier models and offering you API access at prices that don't cover the cost. The goal isn't your monthly invoice. It's the workflows you build on top of it. The integrations. The automations. The internal tools your team can't live without. At the same time every business will be incentivized to hollow out their internal expertise, their talent development pipelines. Soon AI won't be a luxury, it will be a necessity.

The moment you edit your campaign numbers directly, you’ve broken something important
It's a Tuesday. Finance sends you a message asking if you can move 30% of last quarter’s campaign spend from one category to another. The budget was approved under one initiative, but the actual work crossed over. Makes sense, right? What happens six months later when you try to figure out why the marketing team spent $50,000 dollars on a goal that no longer exists? Who watches the watchers for your essential data?
