OM DENNE EPISODE
Are we hitting the ceiling of AI progress, or just restructuring for a massive leap? In this episode, we break down Jack Dorsey’s radical "Mini AGI" thesis and why companies like Block are nuking management layers to move at the speed of intelligence. We discuss the breakdown of scaling laws, the transition from "SaaS" to "Company as Intelligence," and why the traditional product roadmap is officially dead.
In the second half, we dive into a "cringe-worthy" freelance scenario: a developer charging a one-time fee of $200 for a project. We explain why that pricing is a race to the bottom and lay out a specific strategy to pivot into high-margin, recurring revenue that scales.
