Who owns the story when AI writes everything? In this post I tackle AI and the human condition, the 2025 Stratechery Year in Review, OpenAI's outsized role and LLMs as content producers. I argue Stratechery Plus and community driven publishing can survive, and I probe AI's effect on wealth inequality.
Rolly's Take
This blog resonates with those wrestling with the intricate dance between technology and the human experience, particularly in an age where AI begins to blur the lines of authorship and authenticity. It speaks to the thoughtful observer, someone who feels the weight of wealth inequality and the shifting landscape of publishing, grappling with questions about community and connection in an increasingly individualized digital world. Within its explorations, there lies a quiet optimism, a belief in the power of content to forge bonds and create shared spaces — an invitation to contemplate not just what is being produced, but the deeper stories we choose to tell together. Here, one finds a reflective space to ponder the implications of AI, not just on our industries, but on the very fabric of our collective existence.
