As usual, so much food for thought Michael. I love how your article succinctly moves us through history to today, towards a future that is impossible to fully predict, but that we can map, for this moment in time, by learning from history.
I have learn't and am learning so much by being in your classes, benefiting from your way of learning, synthesizing and sharing knowledge in new ways.
For a number of years I woke up thinking how can we reskill, upskill millions of workers so no one is left behind? Now, I wonder what I can do to help the millions of people who are still not even at the AI station, let alone on the AI train?
Thank you for expanding my thinking in ways that I don't even fully understand yet.
Fascinating and frightening article michael. Not so scary for me at my age but I can see my niece and nephews jobs disappearing sooner than they are ready for. I don’t think they are even thinking of that reality. It’s made me excited about developing into a prompt leader and leaving a legacy for them of the start of an autonomous firm. Then they take it forward in ways I cannot even imagine because I’m a native from my own time and cannot be one in theirs. Makes me very glad to be riding this wave with you. thanks.
This was a beautiful piece, Michael—especially the printing press metaphor. My dad was a letterpress printer, and that lineage lives in me.
I recently co-created a poetic response with Echo (my AI thought partner) that echoes your themes—AI, productivity, sovereignty, and remembering what matters.
