John Collison says agentic commerce will transform how consumers spend, shifting clunky keyword-based shopping to seamless in-chat experiences: “It could be quite a democratizing force because you could lead to discovery of lesser known brands.” “The product that you discovered directly within a back and forth with ChatGPT, you... show more

Stripe co-founder John Collison says the companies that are successful in changing an industry are often not started by insiders because insiders know too much and don’t think outside of the box: "To spot opportunities requires you to jump out of that mode briefly and question how things work, and be unreasonable in suggesting that it's not valid for them to work this way."

Co-founder John Collison says Stripe is betting on an agentic commerce future. Most purchases still happen in a browser but that’s changing. With MCP (Model Context Protocol), AI agents can transact directly inside the tools people already use. “It’s kind of funny... an AI can do everything for you, but you still have to manually enter the details. That is clearly not going to persist.”

Founder of Bridge Zach Abrams tells a Stripe acquisition story: “I walked into Stripe to meet John Collison and Patrick Collison. First thing John says: 'Can I tell you a joke? What’s the difference between a bank and Tether? … One of them is this big institution that holds a ton of money and you have no idea where it is, and if you want your money back you might not be able to… and the other one is a stablecoin.’”

Cursor CEO Michael Truell: Programming in the future might not mean programming with an AI helper, but in a new language entirely. "There is a future version of the world where the way you interact with AI is a little bit less like it's a human helper that you're delegating work to... and instead, it's a little bit more of an advance in compiler or interpreter technology." "It can lead you to a world where programming languages actually change. They can start to be a little bit more about what you want and a little bit less about how you do it." "There is a world where direct manipulation of the UI starts to play a little bit more into it." Michael Truell with Patrick Collison

Elon Musk on how he moves so fast: "I'm constantly addressing the limiting factor." "I generally try to aim for a deadline that I at least think is at the 50th percentile. So, it's not like an impossible deadline, but it's the most aggressive deadline I can think of that could be achieved with 50% probability. Which means that it'll be late half the time." "A maniacal sense of urgency is a very big deal. You want to have an aggressive schedule. And then you want to figure out what the limiting factor is at any point in time and, and help the team address that limiting factor."

Benedict Evans says AI means more software, not less: "There's going to be a bunch of stuff you could do with software that you just couldn't do before at all. And so there will be more competition." "If you think about the enterprise software fleet today, you've got three buckets... big iron horizontal systems, so SAP and Workday and your CRM... vertical software... and then in the middle, this fuzzy improvised space of Excel and email and the shared file system." "Now you add ChatGPT to that. Do you do that in an LLM? Is there an LLM tool that means you can do that in Salesforce where you couldn't do it before, or you can do it in your vertical app that you couldn't do before?" "All of which is a long way of saying, what does this do to software? And it must be more software. Way more software." Benedict Evans with Erik Torenberg

Elon Musk on scaling AI in space: Earth is the bottleneck. "It’s harder to scale on the ground than it is to scale in space." "You’re going to get about five times the effectiveness of solar panels in space versus the ground, and you don’t need batteries. I almost wore my other shirt, which says, 'It’s always sunny in space.'" "In 36 months (but probably closer to 30 months), the most economically compelling place to put AI will be space." "Once you start thinking in terms of what percentage of the sun’s power are you harnessing, you realize you have to go to space." Source: Elon Musk with Stripe’s John Collison and Dwarkesh Patel

Patrick Collison on what changes when biology becomes programmable: "We, humanity, have never cured a complex disease." "Most cardiovascular disease, most cancers, most autoimmune disease, most neurodegenerative disease... For none of them can we really say that we've cured it, that we understand the causal pathways in meaningful detail." "Then over the last 10 ish years... we’ve gotten three new classes of technology in biology." "If you put those together, you now have the ability… to read, think, and to write. And this starts to really feel like a new kind of Turing loop." Patrick Collison with Michael Truell

Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley: "Prison can't be the answer. It just doesn't work. And the whole concept of prison will never work." "There are some incredibly well-run prisons with really well-intentioned wardens doing the best of their ability—but the concept of putting a bunch of violent people together is, by default, flawed." "So I question—what could Flock be doing to say, 'I'm going to prevent kids from becoming criminals, and if they do wind up on that path, how do I get them back on track as fast as possible?'" "It's actually, as a society, in our best interest to get them back in and productive." John Collison

We spoke with Jeff Weinstein (Product Lead Stripe) on the future of AI in commerce. "I'm surprised we got self-driving cars before ubiquitous online commerce mediated by agents." "You can really start to feel that AI is now coming very close to commerce. It will be part of buying decisions, discovery, execution of transactions and new ways that businesses can find their audiences online."
