The power of infrastructure is it allows you to skip the boring parts at the bottom and focus on the innovation at the top.

Infrastructure creates its strategic leverage fundamentally by implementing a boring lower-level piece of functionality once, but allowing it to be shared by multiple users that otherwise would have had to implement it themselves, reducing the overall cost in the system.

LLMs can take the most boring bottom parts of tasks for humans, giving us leverage not unlike infrastructure.

But now that the boring parts are taken care of, you have to decide to innovate.

One option is to say, "Great, the computer already thought for me, I don't have to think. I wonder what was added on TikTok since the last time I checked it 30 seconds ago?"

A more passive stance.

Another option is to say, "Great, now that I don't have to waste mental capacity on the boring parts, what new heights can I reach? How can I think harder and further than before?"
