- What needed 10 employees → now needs 1
- What needed $1M to build → now needs $100/month
- What served "too small" markets → now

There were many “bad ideas’ from 5 or 10 years ago that weren’t necessarily “bad ideas,” they were only too early. Economics has literally been flipped overnight with AI bringing some of these older ideas back to life.
