Don’t listen to advice. Including mine.
Experience is not the same as understanding. We often know what happened without knowing why, then turn it into universal wisdom.
In the age of AI, ask: what was actually doing the work?

Is Jude Bellingham the Next GOAT? An American Analysis
Bellingham’s World Cup is not a breakout. Every goal has a seven-year paper trail, and the math says the résumé is arriving exactly on schedule.

Honoured to see this featured by the World Economic Forum.
If you're working on AI, digital policy, or frontier markets, I’d love your thoughts — how do we shift from scarcity narratives to systems that actually work for the majority of the world?

1/ The West fears AI will take jobs. I believe it will finally create the millions of jobs the rest of the world has always needed. My vision for "Latent Jobs," featured in my talk with @SylvanaSinha for @Forbes. 🧵
forbes.com/sites/sylvanaqsin…
4/ "Latent Jobs" are the solution. They are the essential roles (health workers, surveyors, legal aides) unlocked by AI. This isn't science fiction; it’s about creating the workforce for a world of abundance, now. #LatentJobs
5/ This is a roadmap that requires entrepreneurs, corporations, and policymakers to act in concert. Huge thanks to Sylvana for helping me share this vision. Let's build this future. #AI #FutureOfWork #Africa

5 charts that prove what we're all feeling —
AI isn’t just powerful, it’s something else entirely.
The speed isn’t normal. It’s unprecedented. And dangerous.

Most AI startups are built on a lie.
It’s not about AGI, job losses, or sentient robots. It’s something much simpler, and it’s happening right now.
I call it The Autonomy Illusion. 🧵

The winners are taking a different path.
They're mastering a discipline I call Adoption Engineering—a hands-on, technical approach to ensure customers succeed.
They're not just selling software; they're building deep, unkillable partnerships.
4/4
This requires a strategic trade-off.
The survivors are willingly paying The Defensibility Tax—sacrificing short-term margin to build a deep, defensible moat.
While others chase hype, they build value.

You don’t need a PhD in ML to close this gap.
You need taste. Grit. And deep domain expertise.
That’s why the best founders I back right now are:
– Not AI evangelists
– Not prompt influencers
– But annoyed experts
9/
AI’s biggest opportunity isn’t to replace humans.
It’s to elevate human taste, speed, and insight — at scale.
The window is open.
The cracks are everywhere.
Fill them with gold.
