The New Rich

For most of human history, the gap between idea and execution was enormous. You had the vision, but you needed capital to hire the builders. You needed technical expertise, or access to people who possessed it. You needed time — months, years — to move from concept to product. The gap between the person who could imagine something and the person who could build something was so wide that most ideas died quietly in the space between them. AI has collapsed that gap. Not eliminated it — but collapsed it. Reduced it from an impassable canyon to a bridge that anyone willing to learn the crossing can walk across. I am not telling you this as theory. I am telling you this as testimony.
