danshipper · x · 2026-11-10
Dan Shipper, editor-in-chief of Every, at Every Thesis 2027: "Anything the model can do is broadly distributed, so everyone has access to it, which means it's not that valuable. The valuable thing is how a human uses that."
His take on individual value in the AI era: once capabilities are commoditized, the moat lies in the user's judgment and application.
