Long AI Short AGI

While Silicon Valley pushes the narrative that AGI will capture all future value, the author argues that AI models are rapidly commoditizing. Historical parallels show that infrastructure providers capture pennies on the dollar, while application-layer companies like Stripe and Shopify become the defining winners. The most important AI companies may not even be founded yet, and success will come from owning customer relationships and proprietary workflows, not marginally better models.

Key points

  • AI models are commoditizing fast, with costs dropping dramatically in two years.
  • Infrastructure providers like railroads and AWS capture only a fraction of the value; application-layer companies win.
  • The most impactful AI companies likely haven't been founded yet and will focus on specific niche problems.
  • Betting on applications (Long AI) rather than AGI hype (Short AGI) is the smarter strategy.
