Replit founding engineer Gian Segato joins us to talk about his viral new essay, Agency Is Eating the World, and the shift toward high-agency individuals building and scaling software alone. He explains why today’s AI “agents” aren’t truly agentic, why taste is downstream of iteration, and how generalists are now empowered to compete with specialists across industries.
We also discuss the end of credentialism, how AI collapses years of specialization into days of effort, and why this is only the beginning of a larger economic shift — one that stretches from barbershops writing code to billion-dollar solo startups.
We also covered ChatGPT Search's rapid EU growth and looming regulatory status, YC-backed Theseus and its GPS-free drone tech for Special Operations, OpenAI’s massive spend on making ChatGPT more polite, and Slate Auto’s $25K EV that can change shape ahead of its public reveal.
