Product marketer. AI practitioner. Writer.
Building a point of view on how cheap intelligence reshapes infrastructure, incentives, and capital allocation.
What This Site Is For
dougantin.ai is where I develop and test a point of view on what happens when intelligence becomes abundant and cheap, and how that reshapes work, software, and capital allocation.
I use it to turn observations into frameworks, exploratory work into conclusions, and conclusions into artifacts that can be monitored over time. The site is a constant work in progress and everything here is in motion.
