Investor Elad Gil argues that company outcomes today are 10x bigger than a decade ago and 100x bigger than the 1990s. He notes that Cursor's spiritual equivalent sold for $500M and was considered a huge deal at the time, saying this scale shift has significant downstream implications for how big AI-era outcomes can get.
