📚 3 Good Articles for You

In Pursuit of a Better Book
by Matthew Guay (15 mins)
E-books have always felt like they're missing something, lacking the "bookiness" of physical books. However, the innovation of e-books has allowed for greater distribution, searchability, and interactivity. The first e-book was created in 1945, and Project Gutenberg was founded in 1971 to digitalize the world's libraries. Google Books aimed to make every written word searchable, and AI-powered e-books have become more navigable than physical books. While e-books may be a poor version of books, they are infinitely better stores of knowledge.

The Search Singularity: How to Win in the Era of Infinite Content
by Ryan Law (9 mins)
The rise of AI writing tools means that the cost of producing content is decreasing, leading to an influx of homogenous, copycat content. This is known as the search singularity. To stand out, companies should focus on "information gain" in their articles, diversify beyond search and invest in thought leadership, and create a unique experience for their audience. Quality will become a powerful differentiator, and companies should aim to create a vast gulf of quality between AI-generated content and their own.

The Criticality Of Timing
by Scott Belsky (3 mins)
Timing is crucial in business and investing, yet often overlooked. The right match, leadership style, and pacing are all important factors in achieving success. Incrementalism can limit market size and kill great ideas, while inflection points require full execution. Investing requires a deep understanding of present-day problems and tracking tail winds. The key to investing at the right time is whether the team is attempting to defy a likely outcome or make it happen in a better way.
