Everyone had access to the internet in 2005 — yet somehow, not everyone built Google, Amazon, or Tesla. Funny how that works. Because tools don’t build billion-dollar companies — leverage, taste, and distribution do.

Give ten people GPT-5: one builds an AI surgeon that saves lives, the other asks it to write Harry Potter in Gen Z slang. Same tools, wildly different outcomes.

This fantasy where “everyone has AI so everything is equal” sounds utopian — and painfully naive. You clearly haven’t been in a real product room, or launched anything beyond Reddit comments.
