this is what people miss. if you are building for this market, you need to solve for time to an output a person would feel comfortable being accountable to
The simple reason AI will not destroy jobs is because you can outsource work to AI, but you cannot outsource accountability It is also the same reason why CEOs and CFOs continue to hire consultants, despite them adding minimal value from an operational perspective When things go wrong, the C suite needs to be able to point fingers at someone who was accountable for the mistake No Board of Directors or shareholders will take a CEO seriously if they simply point fingers at their Claude model You need a real person driving behind the wheel who can make final decisions, and are then held responsible for the outcome of those decisions

if the long term monetisation model is amex-ish what does a $30bn val imply they get to in GMV? at what take rate?
Instinct is currently raising @ $30b. $100M → $500M → $2.5B → $10B → ~$30B in sub 1y. If you're still not inside the private market this should be a good signal to pivot aggressively. Wealth creation is going to be heavily skewed toward private investors over the coming decade.
