I find it significant that the most AI-pilled people I know use AI for basically everything…except for writing
It’s remarkably consistent. Why? Because to write is to think. And outsourcing your critical thinking to AI is intellectual suicide

Unpopular opinion: AI basically became useful for enterprise use early this year with agentic AI acceleration. Everything before was basically consumer and hobbyist. 2026 is year 0 for AI enterprise use. So why would anyone have expected measurable productivity increase already.

Outside of passing judgement, there are 2 types of white-collar labour:
1. technical (does stuff)
2. relationship (interacts w/ people)
It's now obvious that, thanks to AI, we are (or will be) massively oversupplied with 1.
This means that 2 becomes a bottleneck because this type of labour can't scale drastically. It's just how humans are wired (see Dunbar's number).
People who can build and maintain strong relationships will be highly sought after and valued. This has always been true, but it will be even more true in an AI world.
If you don't consider yourself a "relationship person" and haven't put much effort into it, think critically about this. Relying on technical ability alone feels more fragile than ever.

Three years ago, I earned $500k/year in tech.
Today, I’m homeless, living in my car.
28 years of experience. Three technical books. AI engineer since the 1990s.
And I can’t find a job.
My story is a warning about the future of work.

Quick thread on AI and productivity:
Lots of people say this chart shows AI is now showing up in the productivity data.
But I made this chart to argue the opposite: a trend that pre-dates AI and only shows up in the US doesn’t look like AI.
Here’s how I’m thinking about the data and underlying dynamics:
