AI Is Making One-Person Million-Dollar Companies More Common

AI isn’t just changing jobs — it’s changing the risk/reward calculus of building companies, as new data shows solo business formation and revenue growth accelerating in AI-exposed sectors. NLW explores why startups, student founders, and one-person companies may be the clearest early signal of how AI is reshaping work. In the headlines: Palantir’s Alex Karp makes the case for open-weight models in government, Nvidia backstops neocloud demand, and Tesla imposes token spending limits.
