A fundamentally new multi-trillion-dollar mega disruption is incoming within 5 years that the entire world is sleeping on. Discovered this earlier this year with @tonyseba and @rethink_x. Nobody else seems to have put the pieces together yet. The knowledge is massively…

Baumol's cost disease is a function of high marginal cost of labor. AI+robotics sends the marginal cost of labor plunging toward zero... 🤔

So my full Gemini chat history on my laptop is not visible on my phone… Gemini 2.5 Pro says “this is a frequently reported bug”. There is a ~25-step process for changing security and activity settings that *might* fix it. Yeah, no. Seriously, @Google?

Just a reminder to everyone who’s read @bradd_libby’s amazing new book, be sure to rate it on Amazon and Good Reads, and leave a review too! It’s important in order for the algorithms to know it’s worth recommending.

18 years since the iPhone launched with autocorrect, and @apple still “corrects” i.e. to I.e. … 🙄
A key challenge over the next 15-20 years, once AI + robots begin to disrupt human labor in earnest, will be progressively reducing the retirement age from ~67, eventually to 18. Our ultimate goal with AI+robots must be to shrink the gap between childhood and retirement to zero.
Very excited to announce #AutonomyStellar — a new macro-based systems transformation #fund I’ve co-founded with @robertgibbins14. We invest in systemic drivers and implications of price-based tech disruption, and apply our proven framework to capture #PhaseChange opportunities.…
Property tax is a form of wealth tax. A little property tax is probably OK, but given Americans' opposition to wealth tax, I'm surprised there isn't more opposition to egregiously dysfunctional property tax. For example, adding solar panels and/or batteries to your house where I…

Our team at @rethink_x has been thinking a lot about AI, and robots, and @tonyseba and I have written about the enormous disruption from artificial labor that is now imminent. More to come on this in the months ahead, but this recent article in @guardian gives a small taste -…

Sadly, I'm not having much luck with @xai's Grok 4 so far. I've been asking for background research on a topic, and it's unable to exceed what I would call a high school level so far. Depth, thoroughness, and thoughtfulness are all coming up badly short compared to other frontier…
Someone recently asked my what were the hardest ideas to come up with in my science fiction novel. Funnily enough, the answer is the names of the fictional companies! It's really hard to come up with a cool new name for a business that nobody else has thought of yet. In the…
New interview of mine in @guardian about AI, robots, and the disruption of human labor - perils and promise both: theguardian.com/technology/202…
"Technology has a new target in its crosshairs – and that’s us. That’s our labour.” Great to see our Director of Research @adam_dorr, featured in the @guardian discussing the inevitable rise of robots & AI! 🤖 This isn't science fiction; it's the future of work. Our research at…
