Dangerous AI Is Here. You Have Been Warned
April 10, 2026
For years AI doomers have preached that this technology would do more harm than good and this week we got a glimpse of the new world they're warning about.
Today, we’re talking about false economies at your startup.
Staying lean and keeping your burn low is an essential part of building a startup and investors love to see it. But don’t be fooled into wasting tons of your time for comparatively small costs.
Before COVID, I would often catch founders wrestling with an ancient laptop or a budget cell phone — wasting hours every day and adding a lot of stress for themselves and others. Nowadays the most common issue is founders refusing to upgrade their internet service at home — despite our new world of WFH requirements. This is not saving money — this is costing the company money through the time wasted and bad communications you have with others.
If you have a little money in the bank, these kinds of upgrades will save you and your team a lot of time. Making the team significantly more efficient is a good use of capital.
