DOP 374: Does AI Make Companies More Productive?

October 28, 2026 · 56 min

Show notes

#374: Your company is paying for the AI licenses, and now there's a number attached. Two to three times the output, every day, or else. Can you hit it? If they're counting lines of code, sure.

But you aren't the company. If everyone on the team gets faster on their own and the handoffs between them stay exactly the same, does anything ship sooner? Most AI today is single player. Your company probably isn't.

In this episode, we speak with Tomasz Tunguz, founder of Theory Ventures, about why faster individuals don't add up to a faster company, and what that changes for startups and the people funding them.
