AI has inverted product development: capability first, problem second, says signulll

signulll observes that AI has inverted product development for many people: instead of going from problem to solution using technology, the flow is now technology/capability first — "what problem can I solve with this?"
He argues this is why OpenAI and many others are effectively doing a kind of X-driven product development: capability-led exploration rather than demand-driven building.
