In the agent economy, taste and judgment are the final skills
A decade ago, knowing how to craft a careful Google search query with site:r*dditdotcom and discover hidden info put you years ahead
Now info is trivial, there's too much of it. Chatbots offer syncophancy-on-demand. They'll convincingly argue any position you ask it to, then do the same for its opposite.
The modern skill is teasing out which questions to ask, and how to weight chatbot outputs versus your own intuition and experience
Writing essays is easy, choosing a correct thesis is hard
Code is commoditized, product is premium
The difference between a premium product and vibe slop is taste, careful selection of which features to elevate and which to omit. Do everything and you end up with nothing. Another word for taste is a thesis, a belief about the world that's not widely held or understood yet.
So what does this look like when applied to finance?
Historically in crypto, edge came from willingness to do the manual actions yourself - execution. Be a user, do the bridge, try the broken UIs, make the swap. Agents now/soon make this easy. So what's left for humans?
The human edge remains taste and judgment. All the execution in the world doesn't matter if you choose the wrong thesis. Understanding that NFTs, or memecoins, or perps, or prediction markets, or whatever comes next - are going to be hot, and putting your own money up to make this bet.
Humans pick the thesis, and agents execute.
