mapping the crazy AI world

the real impact of AI comes not from how it performs a task,

but from how it restructures the entire system around that task.

Before you can use AI to maximize the meaning in your work and life, you’ll need to be able to articulate what you draw meaning from.

Much like cold chain logistics removed seafood scarcity, AI changes the scarcity associated with certain types of knowledge work. But in doing so, it will expose new bottlenecks and constraints. These are points in the system where trust, context, and interpretation become the new scarcities.

While AI is most effective at automating narrow, repetitive tasks, it’s less capable of stitching those tasks together into a coherent whole. A full-stack professional knows how to orchestrate —they use AI to handle discrete components, while maintaining oversight and strategic control across the entire workflow.
