- Top padding 8rem → 12rem
- 'Convenience is not capability' → blockquote callout (amber border, cream bg)
- Added h2 section headers: The Third Extraction Wave, The Decision Loop
- Added blockquote, h2, lead-question, and mobile breakpoint styles
- Same visual rhythm as ai-brain-fry post
1. 'Convenience is not capability' pulled into its own lead-question
callout (matches other blog post pattern)
2. Closer reframed: 'Are your capabilities compounding, or are you
being extracted from?' — sharper, matches content
3. Blog card excerpt: replaced redundant question with context +
shorter question
Lead question now frames the article: Are you compounding your own
capability, or someone else's? Repeated at the close. The question
matches the content — it's about compounding, not about whose agent
you're using.
The metaphor made something clear feel obscure. Removed all faction/NPC/
tech-tree/playstyle language. The point (THEIR capability, not yours)
is sharp enough without decoration.
- Closer: What class are you playing? (not whose faction)
- NPC = class no one chooses, not wrong team
- tech tree / build / playstyle throughout, not faction
- Blog card and meta description updated to match
- Title: You're Already in the Agentic Wars (not a spectator)
- Lead: Big Tech compounds THEIR capability (bolded)
- RPG metaphor: faction wars, tech trees, NPC grinding
- Reader is on the battlefield, not watching from the sidelines
- Closer: Whose faction are you grinding for?
Based on feedback: the original was convoluted, covered too many topics,
and ended with a weak engagement question. Revised to one thread:
Big Tech agents compound platform capability, not yours. Everything
else — extraction pattern, decision loops, open-source alternative —
follows from that single concern. Ends with a question worth answering.
