About Me
I'm a researcher, writer, teacher, advisor interested in one main question.
What do we do next?
What even is work?
Almost all of it splits in two.
Expectation
Hitting a target someone already set.
Intention
Working out what's even worth doing.
The balance won't hold.
What the work is made of is about to change.
Most of the work — for now.
Valuable, because there's so much of it.
Hard, because the tools are still primitive.
Give it a target we can test, and AI learns to pass.
The part that was always the point.
Hard to teach. Hard to test.
How do you get a thousand reps at it?
And yet — we learn it by living it.
How do we get ready for that world?
This isn't what we learned in school. It's hard to teach and hard to learn — but necessary.
There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.
Peter Drucker
My focus is on how we work with AI —using it to help us succeed at this second part.
Forming an intention clearly enough that something else could build it.
Pointing AI at the question, not the task — so it helps us work out what we wanted in the first place.
What am I working on now?
Lectures
Talks and workshops for people who feel the ground moving.
Working sessions
Rethinking what the tools are for, not just adopting them.
