I lay awake at 2:47 AM. Of course I did. Couldn’t sleep. Plus, that's when the best ideas arrive—when normal people sleep and ENTPs lie awake connecting dots that shouldn't connect.
Sam Altman had just published "The Gentle Singularity," and buried in one of the last paragraphs was a line that made me sit upright:
"For a long time, technical people in the startup industry have made fun of 'the idea guys'... It now looks to me like they are about to have their day in the sun." - Sam Altman
I laughed. Not a polite chuckle, but the kind of maniacal cackle that would make Heath Ledger's Joker proud. Because after years of being told my ideas were worthless without a CS degree, after countless "learn to code" evangelists explaining why vision without execution was just expensive daydreaming, the universe had finally delivered its punchline.
The ENTP Predicament: Too Many Ideas, Not Enough Hands
Here's what they don't tell you about being an ENTP: We're idea machines running on rocket fuel and spite. We see connections where others see chaos. We debate not because we're argumentative (okay, we are), but because every argument is a puzzle and every puzzle has seventeen solutions we haven't tried yet.
Leonardo da Vinci didn't just paint—he designed helicopters 400 years before humans could build them. Tesla didn't just invent—he imagined wireless power transmission while everyone else was still figuring out wires. Franklin didn't just write—he flew kites in thunderstorms because why not test a theory with your life on the line?
But here's the cruel joke of the pre-AI era: Every ENTP has a graveyard of ideas that died on the altar of "can you code it yourself?" We're the people with 47 half-finished projects, 182 domain names we'll "definitely use someday," and business plans that would work brilliantly if only we could clone ourselves sixteen times.
The Great Inversion: When Chaos Engineers Get Their Tools
What Altman is describing isn't just a shift—it's a complete inversion of power dynamics. For two decades, Silicon Valley operated on a simple hierarchy: those who could code sat at the top, and everyone else begged for scraps. "Ideas are cheap, execution is everything" became the mantra that crushed a thousand dreams.
But here's what's happening now: AI isn't just democratizing coding—it's commoditizing it. When "intelligence becomes too cheap to meter," as Altman puts it, the bottleneck shifts from execution to imagination. And who's been training for this moment their entire lives? The chaos engineers. The idea generators. The ENTPs who've been told to sit down and shut up unless they could ship code.
I’ve been building CoinResearch.ai for the last year… with a team of developers with X amount of hours each week. It’s a great project. We’ve just moved SLOW. Bootstrapped from the start. And now it predicts price movements in crypto in the 95%+ in accuracy. And we are about to do a WeFunder.
And now with AI, I’m over here executing like a MOFO.
Tools I’ve built in the last 6 weeks.
First I built a podcast listening experience with Manus.im. It wasn’t scalable, but it was cool. It wasn’t really listening to me, and it got frustrating.
Next, I realized most people don’t know how to prompt engineer effectively, so I’ve built PromptDaddy.ai with Pickaxe.co. PromptDaddy is your cheeky sidekick for whipping up high-impact AI prompts without the trial, error, or existential dread. Whether you’re a newbie or a nerd, we make you sound like a genius—just with way better jokes. It gained some traction, so I got a dev team to help me level it up. It’s almost finished. Launch in late June.
I’ve also always wanted a Sudoku game built around baseball. Baseball has 9 positions and so does sudoku… so I built BaseballSudoku. And it’s really fun. I showed it to a few friends and they said they played it from 45 minutes to an hour. So, now I got a dev team working on making it ready for the app store.
Next project I’ve built was CryptoAi.News. This is a site the curates all of the important news in Ai and Crypto, so I can easily read it and find what’s most important for me to know and to share on Bad Crypto, my podcast with Joel Comm. And for sharing on CoinResearch. And for gathering news for Ai Agent Economy here.
Next I’m working on a Choose your Own ai book reading platform. Where you can create your own novel idea… and readers can pick their path along the way using Ai and images. This could be pretty cool. It’s difficult to vibe code this one, for sure!

The New Reality: Every ENTP's Playground
Consider what's actually happening here. In 2025, AI agents can write production-ready code. By 2026, Altman predicts they'll generate novel insights. By 2027, robots will execute real-world tasks. This isn't incremental change—this is giving every idea person their own implementation army.
I've already started experimenting. Last week, I had an idea for a Chrome extension at 3 AM (because when else?). Pre-AI, this would have joined my idea graveyard. The gap between conception and creation has collapsed from months to hours.
The implications are staggering. Every ENTP characteristic that was a liability is becoming an asset:
Our inability to focus on one thing? Now we can pursue parallel projects
Our love of theoretical connections? AI can test them instantly
Our debate addiction? We can argue with AI until we refine ideas to perfection
Our chaos? It's becoming the raw material for innovation
The Sweet, Sweet Vindication
There's a particular satisfaction in watching the tables turn. All those technical founders who sneered at "idea guys"? They're now scrambling to figure out what makes a good idea, because their moat is evaporating. The YC partners who preached "strong technical co-founder or death"? They're quietly updating their criteria.
But here's the ENTP twist: We're not here for revenge. We're here because finally, FINALLY, we can build all the things. Every wild connection, every 3 AM epiphany, every "what if we combined X with Y but made it do Z?"—it's all possible now.
The Idea Guy’s Symbiosis
What makes this moment particularly delicious is how perfectly AI complements our cognitive style. We generate ideas faster than we can evaluate them. AI can evaluate them faster than we can generate them. We see patterns across disparate fields. AI can test those patterns instantly. We love intellectual sparring. AI never gets tired of our debates.
It's like giving Tony Stark an arc reactor, or handing da Vinci modern materials. The bottleneck was never imagination—it was implementation bandwidth. And that bottleneck just exploded.
The New Game: May the Best Ideas Win
Altman's prediction isn't just about vindication—it's about transformation. When intelligence is abundant and cheap, the scarce resource becomes genuine creativity. Not the "move fast and break things" pseudo-creativity of the last era, but real, chaotic, Idea Guy-style "what if reality worked differently?" creativity.
The entrepreneurs who'll win aren't those who can code fastest or raise the most money. They're the ones who can imagine what doesn't exist yet. The ones who can connect quantum physics to social networks, or see how blockchain could revolutionize some new industry.
The idea guy engineers have been training for this moment without knowing it.
Conclusion: Welcome to Our Timeline
So here we are, fellow Idea Guys.
After years of being told our ideas were worthless without implementation skills, the universe has handed us the ultimate implementation partner. AI doesn't judge our 3 AM ramblings. It doesn't roll its eyes when we pivot for the fifteenth time. It just builds.
The "idea guys" aren't just having their day in the sun—we're inheriting the whole solar system. And somewhere, Leonardo da Vinci is smiling, because he always knew this day would come. He just had to wait 500 years for the rest of the world to catch up.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have seventeen new projects to start. Because I can.
Because we all can.
Because the age of the “Idea Guys” has finally arrived, and chaos has never been more productive.
Mwhahaha, indeed.
Hey, I just got an idea. If you are a paid subscriber for annual or a founding member, you will get access to CrytpoAi.News and PromptDaddy.ai. So for $99 you can get access to these tools that work really well. Or you could just build your own.
This offer won’t last long. I’m testing it out. Once I get to 100 subscribers and 10 paid, this will change to only FOUNDER Members… now it’s annual+. :-)
