GOOD PEOPLE QUOTE

Building product is not about having a large team to manage. It is about having a small team with the right people on it.

🔥Deep Dive Pt. 2: AI vs AI: The Zero-Cost Attack Era and Outtake's Defensive Revolution

Keep an eye on your inbox for part two of my deep dive into Outtake.ai – the startup building AI-powered defense systems against the explosion of AI-generated scams and impersonations.

When creating fake websites, deepfakes, and phishing campaigns becomes virtually free, what happens to digital trust? How do you protect your brand when anyone can impersonate it for pennies?

In this analysis, I explore how the "cost of violence" theory is playing out in cyberspace, why traditional security approaches are failing, and how one Palantir alum is building autonomous AI agents that can hunt down and eliminate threats in real-time.

It's a fascinating look at one of the most significant power shifts happening in technology today – don't miss it!
