Lex Sokolin: in 2026, co-think with AI agents instead of using them as hallucination search engines

Investor Lex Sokolin argues that by 2026 the right way to use AI is to co-think with agents rather than treat them as a "hallucination search engine." He says today's frontier models (like Astra) can complete tasks that would take a person hours or days. After talking with hundreds of Fintech and DeFi founders, his advice: (1) personalize your LLM/agent to think from your perspective, (2) navigate it to the right task and expand its capabilities, (3) relax enough to break the rules and bypass old assumptions. He urges ignoring the noise about NVIDIA's stock, AI bubbles, and data centers—and suggests the "financial singularity" may arrive sooner than anyone thinks.
