I submitted one of his past articles and it was flag-killed. His post titles may seem incendiary, but he has the credentials to back it up and seems to identify concrete opportunities without leaning into doomerism.

Automative insurance has entered the “regulatory capture” stage, which is the highest form of actualization in capitalism.

We can correct this by investing in public transportation and getting rid of government-provided free parking.

This is somewhat solved problem in other areas, like banking and government. Not zero, but asymptotically low.

I think we need to criminalize misuse more clearly, preferably on a federal level. We need clear justifications for each use of data. And, we should require periodic audits by an independent third party - perhaps funded in the purchase contracts as a line item and held in reserve.

This doesn’t solve the problem of legal use - which could be contentious now or in the future. But, this technology isn’t going away and good legislation to control it makes sense.

Get a tractor, and spend less time farming.

The factory will save time making tractors, so everybody can have one.

Computers will make the factories more efficient.

AI will make the computers more efficient.

Your PM job will be a lot more about influence and communication.

Influence is often about getting people to trust you and get the last 10% done. Prepare to spend 3 months on a very technically-difficult project, then have the CEO rip apart your demo because the copy on the first screen isn't what he expects, without every getting deeper in to the product. That's the last 10% and your job is getting your tired team to care about it.

The way decisions are made will be significantly different compared to the egalitarianism of engineering. Understanding how your organization makes decisions and adapting to it is key to success as a PM. (Consensus? Founder mode? Disagree and commit?)

Good PMs make impact and at the end of the day. Your career is almost entirely dependent on your manager's subjective opinion of your work. You'll need to learn to "manage up" - ensuring that your manager agrees with your decisions and thinks that you have had impact.

The persona that fails in PM is the pseudo-academic who was told they were smart as a kid, and can't hustle, make a decision, or sell others on their ideas. You need to be prepared for conflict.

I wonder what the implications for radar-absorbing finishes are. Could they be more aerodynamic already?
