Punch Yourself in the Face with Reality to Win in the Age of AI

Punch Yourself in the Face with Reality

I argue that many founders use AI as an excuse to procrastinate, building endless features without talking to real users. While tools like Claude and ChatGPT speed up coding, they do not make the hard parts of entrepreneurship easier, such as taking risks or facing rejection. True success requires relentlessly chasing the truth and avoiding the trap of AI slop.

"I think in the AI era, the only delta left will be in relentlessly chasing the truth. And the only way to get it is to punch yourself in the face with reality again and again."
