"Everything's getting cheaper, easier, and more accessible, except judgment" is the line that sticks.
I align to this general thesis and am placing my bets on a couple projects. One is an MCP-first collaboration platform. The thesis is that AI-exchanged domain knowledge raises the bar on judgment rather than lowers it. Curious if you're seeing a similar approach with your founders? I also have a side media project with Guidesof.ai pushing to enable the people who aren't the most technical but they're the ones who know where their judgment lives.
What we must realize is human insights, based on lived experiences, coupled with AI, is the moat.
AI does not (as yet) have our ability of using our 6 senses (6th being intuition, or insight)
Without our sense elements, intelligence becomes a commodity as we are seeing now.
As a 50-year-old who worked in Oil and Gas, and made a mistake that could have been disastrous, AI by itself would not have been able to solve that problem because, it never lived it.
Neil, honestly fascinated by the Oil & Gas sector. So much margin where tech adoption has been forced, but they are so far behind right now it feels ripe for disruption. What's the perspective of AI for people in the later stages of their career in Oil & Gas?
Hey Elijah, honestly they're quite skeptical of it. Many have been burned by “tech revolutions”
As a regulated safety-critical industry, new solution providers must start with the problem not the tech.
There are soooo many problems to solve in this industry. While AI will enable some solutions, AI by itself will not.
As a bp Manager said to me 1 year ago, “Digitization made pencil-whipping easier”
We cannot use the same software only approach that we use in the office (slack/salesforce etc) to solve problems in an industry that deals with physical equipment and people.
Interesting. Do you see an opportunity for AI adoption in this industry? I guess I wonder if anyone has the technical acumen to be able to correctly assess where they could implement it. And the technology is changing rapidly by the day
Oh yes absolutely. That's what I'm doing but in small doses. Prove value first then show the bigger picture.
There's a major problem recognied by the industry that I'm working on- where Work as Imagined does not always follow Work as Done. - Basically, where processes and procedures aren't followed by field workers.
This was my problem. I call this problem the execution gap.

This was a refreshing read.
