Such SeXy Writing! 💫🥸✨

What an analytical mind, the way you slice everything up and serve it to us in bite-sized pieces, easy to read & understand, the workings and the possibilities of a catapulting & complex world problem.

A sexy new world . . . NOT!

***photo is trippy-cool though***

No human designing AI could ever

duplicate the creative mind of

The Creator.

O h ~ but they will keep trying.

Oh, so, Luciferian.

Those are my thoughts❣️

THANK YOU for the write, Wright!

It's so great to see you writing here my guy! The timing and physical resource constraints are the piece that will create the nuance between the actual disruption, fear, panic, and future and I wrote about some of those constraints through the lense of what is investable and probable in the coming years or decades here to add some more fodder to this important conversation https://www.wealthmatterstome.com/p/why-small-human-centric-business

Thank you for the “fodder” reminder for the vocabulary bank, Chris.

Thank you, Travis—your reality-check lands close to home for me.

For 25 years I’ve watched enterprise tech cycles from inside CSC, SAP & Porsche, where I now run our Business Engineering Commons. We’re 120 human Business Engineers (and an ever-growing “agentic” task-force of AI Business Engineers) who re-wire value streams for resilience.

The productivity curves you describe are real—we feel them daily. No fun, seeing entire industries collapsing.

But the deeper questions keep me up at night: if efficiency outstrips ecological capacity, what new livelihoods emerge? Who owns the autonomous production stack—and who decides we even want this?

My commons project cloudsters has wrestled with that for two decades: As a Commons Incubator, we help individuals and communities to care for joined resources, yet the speed of this AI wave is the biggest trigger for structural change I’ve ever seen. It is important to understand, that quality in life can grow from very different streams. Advanced thinking today, but badly needed reality in the forseeable future.

Your piece is a welcome nudge to keep pairing technical acceleration with commons-based stewardship—before we optimise ourselves into a jobless, over-producing corner. Grateful for the balanced perspective; please keep the dialogue alive.
