Post-RSI, tech differentiation asymptotes to zero: Silicon Valley's edge shifts to GTM and distribution
katieruthmishra · x · 2026-11-14
A contrarian industry take from X user katieruthmishra: once recursive self-improvement (RSI) arrives, technical differentiation asymptotes to zero, and competition shifts entirely to go-to-market — what she calls a "GTM girl renaissance." She predicts Silicon Valley will become a queendom built on creative events, spectacle distribution, and win-on-rizz sales motions. The underlying claim: when frontier capabilities are available to everyone, the deciding factors move from tech to distribution and sales.
