I think there's a great book that came out a few years ago, but it's called Subtract, The Untapped Science of Less. And it's by Leidy Klotz. And it's about the most powerful innovations often come from removing complexity rather than adding features. And that principle, I think, is even more important in the age of AI, where it's easy to become overwhelmed with complexity.

all that we could be bombarded with with AI. So that sort of notion of subtracting and gaining more from less, I think is super important.

I think by 2028, the most valuable skill in business will not be prompt engineering or coding. I think it will be defining meaningful problems for AI to solve. We're moving from an era where technical implementation was the bottleneck to one where human integration and imagination evolved. is the limiting factor. And, you know, I started a Substack recently, benarnon.substack.com.

I'm talking a lot about this, about the power of interdisciplinary thinking, the power of that integrative model and orchestration. And so, yeah, I think that that's where it's at. And that's my bold prediction.

I'd say try this experiment this week. So next time you're planning to see a movie, notice all the friction points in your decision process. Like when are the show times? Which theater? What's the right price point for you? Then imagine if an AI already knew your preferences and had optimized all these variables.

And that gap between your current experience and what's possible is exactly what we're addressing. So for those building in the AI space, for instance, look for those similar disconnects in traditional industries and those places where static systems are trying to serve dynamic human needs.

And I believe that that's where AI can create not just incremental improvements, but the transformative new possibilities. And we're approaching the summer season, lots of blockbusters that people love to go to. So lots of movie going experiences. So I'd say run through that experiment.
