Intelligence Per Hour: The Next AI Pricing Model
The more intelligent the runtime becomes, the more expensive it will be to leave.
The more intelligent the runtime becomes, the more expensive it will be to leave.
They don’t give you an AI stack. They give you dependency.
Instead of full delegation, we are literally working harder, not smarter.
AI agents only create durable productivity when they remove humans from being the integration layer between systems.
It might be the most useful AI layer: watching the mess, extracting the work, and telling you what needs to happen next.
Jobs aren’t disappearing. They’re splitting. Every role is becoming a human+AI role.
An external vertical agent is not an internal agent. A platform that wraps your code and takes over the runtime is not really infrastructure.
A lot of “knowledge work” is now delegatable. The value shifts from doing the task to scoping it well.
Stop building for procurement. Start building for real autonomous transformation.
Autonomy without control is chaos. We don’t ship chaos. We ship infrastructure.
