# Like the Predator movies

## Quote

> "It's going to feel like the Predator movies where you have a different kind of technology and you can move invisibly and hunt whatever you want to hunt."

— [[entity-nate-b-jones]] (00:13:18)

### Context
Delivered to dramatize the **asymmetric advantage** held by startups using deep agentic workflows over slow incumbents who only adopt thin AI wrappers.

### Anchored concept
This quote anchors [[concept-power-law-of-adoption]] and the supporting [[claim-startups-ambush-incumbents]]. The metaphor captures three things at once: superior technology, invisibility (incumbents don't see the threat coming), and predatory selectivity (the ambushing startup picks targets at will).
