Episode notes
Ant Group As A Rare Platform Revolution
- Ant Group combines many digital strengths into a single massive move that could reshape finance.
- Jeff Towson argues this is rare and potentially revolutionary because Alibaba excels at platform strategy.
Designed For Zero-Human Operations
- Ant was built from day one to be a machine-learning-first, near zero-human-operations finance company.
- Their motto '3-1-0' signals three minutes to apply, one second to decision, zero humans involved.
Combinatorial Digital Superpowers
- Jeff uses six digital superpowers to judge new tools; Ant hits nearly all of them at once.
- That combinatorial effect is why Ant's move matters far beyond payments alone.
