The principal resource is capital and only capital.

Linus is saying the quiet part out loud: AI-native projects are environments where the key ingredient is capital. Abstraction can be performed by a quiet appreciation. True automation can be disruptive.

AI-based architectures (again, assuming that the AI works reliably, which is a highly contingent proposition) translate all that stuff into capital flows. A "machine speed" project requires money to participate in, regardless of their complexity.
