Caught up with two friends and realized how slow most of the professional world moves. 

For context, they're both very successful in trad careers. One is a lawyer and one works in private equity.

Neither of them uses AI. Ever. They don't understand why or even how they'd use it. "I just google things" 

One of them has never heard of Stripe. The other couldn't explain the difference between Stripe and Shopify. 

Neither of them own Bitcoin (though they do feel like it's finally derisked enough to consider buying some). 

Neither of them has heard of stablecoins.

I asked if they would know how to launch a basic website and they said they'd go hire a developer.

If you're reading this, I promise you, you are still so so early.

Much the same with the music industry, buddy of mine (27) works for one of the majors, I said "vibe coding" and he thought I was speaking double dutch

A day later he's got his first replit, prefers to use Claude and even tried his hand at v0, hosting on vercel etc 

We might be early but the barrier is so fucking low

A lawyer skilled in AI is like a super power. I can only imagine how that will change that world. Good bye law clerks researching case law.
