In the AI era, product-selling thinking needs to change

I recently heard something especially interesting. A hard-tech company building supersonic passenger aircraft was originally making planes, but because AI has created power shortages for compute centers, they actually started turning their aircraft engine technology into power generation equipment and selling it to data centers.

At first this sounds absurd: a plane maker selling generators? But when you think about it, this is exactly the trait of great entrepreneurs and managers. When the core business hits a funding bottleneck, or when the market environment changes dramatically, the ability to lower one’s stance and use existing technical reserves to solve current pain points becomes a measure of survival.

This is also a reminder for many companies in transition. The technology or resources in our hands may no longer run well on the original track, but under the larger backdrop of the AI boom, might they have other uses? Compute gaps, power gaps, and data gaps are all opportunities.

Do not cling to the original definition. Sometimes, to support the grand vision, you first have to bend down and earn some hard money or cross-industry money. In today’s highly uncertain environment, this kind of flexibility is more useful than any long-term strategy.
