AI provides an incredibly opportunity for solopreneurs
not to automate a content process
not to more efficiently analyze reddit threads
not to optimize an agency
but to actually serve as a creative medium, pushing the frontier on what you want to see in the world.
feels like the age of the "editor" or regurgitator a la 90/9/1 lurker/editor/creator is on the decline
Right before AI, we had a type of creator that scanned the web with high-powered content teams, repackaged other peoples ideas and gained tremendous following from this move
It was an opportunity sitting in the open for years but mostly not exploiting because all the blog type creatives loved the next new idea more than the business of packaging content
With the explosion of the "creator economy" meme many super driven people entered the ecosystem. Many of the most successful repackagers have either shifted to agency businesses (more money), or podcasting. It's easier to play those in business mode
I suspect AI made this game seem kind of lame because the ratio is probably shifting to like 50/45/5 - with 45% editing privately with AI agents back and forth, no longer needing the regurgitator to package it nicely
The upshot of AI is that the cost to create is falling too. A lot of new people becoming that formerly rare 1% creator in the 90/9/1 - this is a great thing!
Downside is in the short term we get lots of slop
But slop is just the first crap anyone creates when you start out

@bentossell Case and Victor are all you need :) also tinkering with how to make content more interactive. A good way to get writers into vibeing interactions
I think AI agentic workflows will drive massive AI progress this year — perhaps even more than the next generation of foundation models. This is an important trend, and I urge everyone who works in AI to pay attention to it.
Today, we mostly use LLMs in zero-shot mode, prompting
I've been thinking about what he and @steipete mean by this.
Its not ralph/goal loops, that's old hat by now
Its probably some kind of continuous orchestration loop that oversees other threads/agents.
So you probably need to have some kind of long running goal for the agent.
