Exactly. Imagine all those ideas and domains that have been sitting in drawers for years. The interesting shift is that people are no longer opening PowerPoint to bring an idea to life. They’re building it directly in HTML.
That, to me, is the biggest challenge of all. How far can we bend before we break?
"which means we need to upgrade our expectations at an equally relentless pace. Our brains weren’t wired for this, and our organisational change management processes certainly weren’t either"
It’s almost incomprehensible how wide the distance is between someone who’s working at the frontier with AI and basically everyone else right now.
The crazy thing is these lines are not converging, but only growing farther apart. If the curve of AI progress had leveled off, it would certainly have given most people and companies time to catch up or implement their workflows in a standardized way. The technology would have neutralized competitive advantage because everyone would be using it the same way.
But what’s happened is the opposite. The curve of AI progress is basically going vertical right now, which means if you had codified your processes 3-6 months ago you’re likely already behind again. Now imagine most companies that kicked into gear a year ago and thought that they were done. Even further behind now.
I’ve never seen a technology in my life and career that improves at this rate, which consequently means you need to upgrade your expectations at a similar rate. Our brains weren’t wired for this, and our organizational change management processes certainly weren’t either.
With any form of recursive self improvement, things just get wilder. It’s a time when you will need to be constantly reevaluating the things that didn’t work just a couple months ago to see if they now can be solved. AI native companies certainly have a strong advantage due to this right now, so now it comes down to can the bigger companies keep up. Wild times.
We’re probably not in much of a position to give this kind of advice, given Greece’s own competitiveness challenges, today and ahead. But have to admit, this article...

Sad but true, especially when visiting big cities. Think people should seek out more authentic experiences, like visiting more rural areas where real life happens, or remote places with unique landscapes, nature, and a genuine sense of place.
modern travel is increasingly flying 10 hours to experience a slightly different version of the same globally optimized lifestyle.
same third wave coffee. same natural wine bar. same brutalist menu. same sourdough. same beige hotel. same tasteful ceramics. same instagram lighting.
what a ridiculous convergence.
Pretty much
The AI ponzi scheme goes like this:
Everyone is generating all these long ass docs and then passing them off for others to read
Then the person receiving is like, wtf this is way too long, and hands that into an AI to read and summarize
Then they are generating a long ass response back
and this cycle goes like that forever. and we call this work now 😅
The token lords watch this from their towers nodding and grinning.
