The AI Ecosystem Deconstructed
AI in 2025 is defined by a central paradox: while experimentation is ubiquitous, true enterprise-level transformation is scarce. This essay argues that the primary bottleneck is not the technology itself but a critical "last mile" human failure—a massive talent shortage combined with a systemic failure of leadership to execute the difficult organizational changes required for full integration.
Persistent Memory: Forging a New Moat
OpenAI's launch of persistent memory is analyzed as a strategic move to create a new, defensible "economic moat." This moat is built primarily on high switching costs, as users become locked into an AI trained on their personal history. The true long-term advantage will be determined by who best navigates the immense technical, privacy, and ethical challenges of managing this data.
Install What Works: A Founder's Toolkit
The most-recommended business books form a "shared mental infrastructure," revealing a consistent set of principles for success. This essay synthesizes recurring themes—systems, accountability, culture, and purpose—translating abstract theory into an actionable "operating system" for leaders to build and scale their companies.
