Is AI a meteor headed for impact—or just a distant sun that hasn’t warmed things up yet?

This week we cut through the doomsday noise to talk about what AI is actually doing to jobs and wealth: hollowing out junior roles, wiping out B-and-below performers, and rewarding AI-fluent “super users” and capital owners.

We dig into why averages don’t matter as much as medians, why judgment and real creativity still look stubbornly human, and why the smart move is to become either a deep specialist or a wide “orchestrator” - but not stuck in the middle.

We also cover open source as the new apprenticeship, failing fast as a competitive advantage, and the rise of the AI-powered solopreneur.


Piketty was wrong about the past. He’s probably right about the future.
