"Information is becoming cheaper and more accessible, and this paradigm will only accelerate with advances in technology." [accelerate with advances in technology]
The quote directly states that technology acceleration is making information cheaper and more accessible, which is the core mechanism eliminating informational edges. This supports the signal's claim about democratization eroding proprietary advantage.
Reasoning from this article
The article cites a 25-year-old observation that has only intensified: as information becomes universally available (satellite data, credit-card history, earnings models), the competitive advantage shifts from access to interpretation. The author argues AI hasn't changed this fundamental dynamic—it has only accelerated it. This generalizes to any knowledge-work domain where tools become commoditized: the value moves from having information to processing it without bias.
