The Startup Ideas Podcast

The best businesses are built at the intersection of emerging technology, community, and real human needs.

Back to Mental Models

Embrace Technological Speed or Become Irrelevant

The pace of AI advancement requires immediate adoption and experimentation; hesitation or skepticism leads to being left behind permanently

Decision Rule

When new AI capabilities emerge, default to experimentation and adoption rather than analysis and skepticism

How It Works

Technology compounds exponentially; early adopters gain experience advantages that become insurmountable for late adopters

Failure Modes

Adopting every new tool without strategic thinking

Ignoring legitimate safety and security concerns

Burning out from constant technology churn

Example Decision

Start using AI agents for customer support immediately even if imperfect, rather than waiting for tools to mature or analyzing ROI extensively
