AI · Access

AI and who gets to make things

A lot of creative people never get the chance to show what they can do. Not because they lack talent, but because they lack access to tools, technical skills, and the networks that put work in front of the right people. That gap has been consistent, and it has been especially visible for young Black and Brown creators.

AI, Finance, and the End of "Learning by Repetition"

A lot of early career roles in finance have always been built on repetition. Analysts spend hours building models, cleaning data, updating comps, and formatting decks. The work is not valuable because it is efficient. It is valuable because it forces exposure. Over time, that repetition is supposed to turn into intuition.
