Kumar Garg launched Tacit Knowledge, a podcast about the skill that will stay scarce in the AI era: working on problems where the next step is unclear.
- His thesis: startup and lab paths are legible, but moving bureaucracies or building public goods involves tacit knowledge—convincing others to bet on you, recruiting, spotting hidden incentives—that can't be checklist-ed
- He'll interview fund leaders, fellows, and funders to unpack the turning points and decisions behind their accomplishments
- AI makes many things easier, but tackling bottlenecks remains a deeply human endeavor of sense-making and persuasion
