Something I didn't realize when I was a kid: institutions can decay. Institutions seem so permanent, but it turns out to be very easy for them to drift from their original mission. The ACLU, the NYT, the Better Business Bureau, the ADL, NPR, none of them are what they were.
@Carnage4Life I worked at both. Meta is a great fit for entrepreneurial PMs who want to own the business outcomes, be accountable for both strategy and execution, and network/partner to get things done. Google was not like that at all. If you can deal with frequent reorgs, Meta is better IMO.

Rob, you quoted your 2016 post about AI Agents a year ago... Now, a year later, the idea of AI Agents is capturing everyone's imagination... Check out the recent posts by @levie Although, I believe you're describing consumer-agents and Aaron is describing business-agents 😎
In 2016, I wrote that AI would dramatically shrink the size of the advertising market over the next 20 years. With recent advances, I feel more strongly than ever about this assessment: robleathern.substack.com/p/ai-will-shri…

I’ve been enjoying the 3 Body Problem on Netflix and it’s cool to see so many Asian people in a science fiction story which actually mirrors the lived experience of anyone in tech. I did also appreciate the reminders of exactly how terrible communism was given how people forget.
