Back in 1995, as the commercial internet was still embryonic, Bill Gates sent a confidential note internally at Microsoft called <\/span>The Internet Tidal Wave.<\/em><\/p>\n

Back then, a player like Netscape became the most popular browser, quickly eating up Internet traffic market shares, which raised a red flag at Microsoft; it was a wake-up call. <\/p>\n

Since then, through a bunch of boom and burst, the Internet has become the latest critical tech cycles of the last 30 years. <\/p>\n

If Bill Gates had been around as a business executive, he might have called the piece The AI Tidal Wave.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s where we are today!<\/p>\n

And yet, as I\u2019ve explained in\u00a0<\/span>The “Horizontal Enabling Layer,”<\/a> the current AI paradigm might be fundamentally different from the web one. <\/span><\/p>\n

We always want to ask three core questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    What\u2019s the shape of the underlying technology that connects the value prop to its product?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    What\u2019s the shape of the underlying business that connects the value prop to its distribution?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    How does the business survive in the short term while it sticks to its long-term vision via transitional business modeling market dynamics?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These non-linear analyses aim to isolate the short-term buzz and noise, find the signal, and ensure you can reconcile the short with the long term!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
