Sean Brennan offers a startup mantra: "make something so good it will be regulated later," citing Uber, Airbnb, Coinbase, Lime, Tesla showrooms, and Polymarket as examples. He argues the next iteration is "make something agents want" — building for the emerging AI agent ecosystem. The post quotes Jason's skepticism about OpenAI letting agents run unsupervised, framing agent platforms as the next build-first, regulate-later frontier.
