What Lee Is Doing With AI Right Now
As of April 2026, notes from a 71-minute phone call with Mom while out walking: I'm taking on AI-based development contracts — so many keep coming in that I can pick and choose — by designing everything up front and then feeding it to the AI to produce the deliverable.
Duration: about 71 minutes. Participants: Mom ↔ Son. Situation: the son is out walking the streets, Mom is at home.
Hyundai: forge ahead no matter what — enterprising.
Daewoo: if Hyundai moves, follow — a follower type, joins in after sizing things up.
Samsung: tap even a stone bridge before crossing it — pile up all the technology first, then move cautiously.
When you picture a corporation as a "building with its eyes open":
Corporation (joint-stock company)
├── CEO — agonizes over how to put the tied-up money to good use
├── Executives — surviving for a long time and drawing a big salary is what's best
├── Shareholders (investors) — want big dividends and a rising stock price
├── Creditors — just need to get their own money back
├── Customers — good service/products
└── Government — wants it to stay out of trouble and contribute to the economy
Government: taxes, police power, military power
Big Tech: platform dominance, capital, talent
Mode of regulation
Government: needs legislative approval → slow
Big Tech: deny App Store approval → fast
Character
Government: stable, legacy
Big Tech: muscle still growing
Computer
Mom bought it for me back in college for 3–4 million won
→ the foundation of my business today
Weather
Very nice; out walking the streets
