   The Migration of Scarcity And The shift in competitive concentration (opens the original)

   Episode notes

   Read excerpt

   In this essay, Momen Ghazouani argues that while artificial intelligence drastically reduces the cost of technical execution, it does not provide an automatic competitive advantage. Because these tools are available to everyone, speed becomes a new baseline rather than a unique strength, causing scarcity to migrate from execution to judgment. As the ability to generate options becomes nearly free, the primary bottleneck becomes the human capacity to decide which paths are worth pursuing. Strateg

   Structural disorder sensitivity: expertise, responsibility, and the threshold of detection (opens the original)

   Episode notes

   Read excerpt

   This episode discusses an article by Momen Ghazouani, Founder & CEO of Setaleur, introducing Structural Disorder Sensitivity (SDS), a theoretical framework that explains why experts notice system deviations that novices overlook.Rather than viewing SDS as a general personality trait, the article defines it as a domain-specific capacity to detect irregularities that affect a system’s functional integrity. This heightened sensitivity is linked to refined internal models and predictive processing,
