1000x Software

• LLMs will 100x the number of programmers and 10x their productivity
• What does software creation look like as programming gets commoditized by LLMs?
• What does the software stack of the future look like?
• What happens to SaaS when software becomes effectively “ephemeral”?

New Data Economies

• Data from web 2.0 and cloud era has largely been siloed into proprietary SaaS and consumer data models, that is not portable nor interoperable
• LLMs need data to train, but we need new data licensing models to incentivize existing and new data creators to open data to model training
• How data is interpreted & standardized and the new protocols for how agents and models consume and leverage data needs to be reconsidered completely

Agents over Interfaces

• Jobs to be done are more important than app experiences
• AI agents allow for higher levels of abstractions to achieve goals instead of complete tasks
• What do APIs look like in world of agents instead of human developers?
• How can cryptographic protocols enhance agent workflows?

AI-Enhanced Accountability

• Humans need social pressure to be held accountable to improving themselves
• Therapists, tutors, coaches all follow playbooks and there’s very little personalization
• AI will replace personal trainers, tutors, coaches and the anthropomorphic nature of virtual avatars will provide enough social pressure for maximum effect and minimal cost
• What is the right agent model for each traditionally human-centric teaching or coaching modality?

Energy Management Systems

• Energy demand will accelerate w/ AI, not just GPUs but per capita global consumption
• What software stack does the average person or company need to better optimize energy consumption?
• What hardware + software can significantly improve efficiency at home (solar + smart panels, heat pumps, passive house architecture, construction materials)?

Stablecoin Driven Finance

• Stablecoins are the gateway to a world of powerful financial products
• Stablecoin focused neobanks and payment networks will take over majority of financial transactions by 2040
• Focus on non-US countries with volatile currencies, less regulation
• What is the optimal consumer banking experience of the future?

DOGE

• US government budget is $13T, yet we do not have universal healthcare, free university, good infrastructure, etc…
• How can we build software to make the delivery of social services more efficient?
• How can we get better transparency & accountability into our tax dollars and over gov’t spending?
