AI SaaS Replacement is the Fire of Fires

Added to my reminders this week:

• Cancel Zapier
• Cancel Resend
• Cancel Figma
• Cancel Canva
• Cancel Browserbase
• Cancel Supabase

Recreated all this in my own PAI harness w/ various repos, my own Skills/Workflows/CLIs and CC.

Such a fun and freeing feeling.

The interesting thing here is asking the question of what tools/services I'll keep.

Today, next week, next year.

I have my own offerings. What makes them good? Are people able to do what I just did and build their own in a few hours?

The answer is no, and I know why, but it's an important question to keep asking.

So many existing companies have no good answer to this replacement question. Like a massive percentage.

Are you an interface? Are you a database? Are you data? What are you? What makes you, you? What makes you hard to copy?

Everyone better figure this out real quick.

It's not that AI will destroy everything. It's more like a massive evolutionary selection event.

Companies used to be able to survive by being extremely mediocre, copyable, and wasteful. Just because it was so hard to create and run a company at all.

The pressure on all companies increases massively as the ease of creating and running a company goes up.

And that is multiplied many times by the fact that you can now paste a URL into your AI harness, and say, "Replace this company's functionality inside of our code. Use this instead."

The term "creative destruction" comes to mind. And perhaps the wildfire is a good analogy as well.

Just imagine that the current legion of millions of companies, and the VC space, and the PE space…they're all full of mostly dead and extremely brittle trees.

And this is the fire of fires.

And the green that shoots up afterwards will be like nothing we've ever seen in speed and diversity and quality.
