The Signal Layer: What to Build When Anything Can Be Built — Lena Hall, Akamai
Lena Hall from Akamai argues that as AI tools become available to everyone, average work becomes worthless—all users get the same answers from models.
What survives is not taste but something narrower: judgment about problems that haven't yet occurred and relationships the model has never encountered. She contends that agents (automated AI systems) gave everyone a tool to attack any possible problem, so the rare skill became choosing which problems actually deserve a solution. She also warns how companies often lose sight of the real customer question along the path from founder to organization.
