Expert Lens
Founder
Think like a founder: what user pain, distribution channel, pricing, and retention loop does this AI capability unlock?
Systems
Think like a first-principles systems builder: separate demos from durable products, and measure the bottleneck the model actually removes.
Infrastructure
Think like an AI infrastructure leader: account for data, latency, cost, reliability, evaluation, and deployment constraints before scaling.
Objectives
- Understand AI's real development trajectory
- Position for emerging opportunities early
- Evaluate frontier capabilities with intellectual honesty
- Build an AI career that compounds over a decade
Capstone
AI Future Thesis
Write and publish a personal AI futures document: trajectory view, industry impact, and your strategic response.
A published thought leadership piece establishing your AI perspective publicly.
Real Examples
- Track frontier-model capability changes and translate them into product, labor, and infrastructure implications.
- Separate hype cycles from durable platform shifts by watching cost curves, developer adoption, and deployment bottlenecks.
Mastery Checks
- Explain the core concept without buzzwords.
- Build a small working artifact, not just a note or prompt.
- Define an evaluation rubric and test against at least five edge cases.
- Estimate operational cost, failure modes, and human review requirements.
