The contest over models is real. A second contest, over where capability and judgement live, is still open.

Task capability is not role substitutability. Reliability is not authority. And keeping the outputs is not keeping the capability.

When cognition becomes cheap, what remains scarce?

Digitisation taught humans to translate intent into systems. AI is beginning to make that translation happen in real time. That may force us to rethink not only jobs, but applications, management, education, organisational knowledge and the skills we choose to build next.
Digitisation taught people to translate human intent into systems, applications and specialised processes. AI is beginning to collapse that translation layer. What does that mean for jobs, skills, management, education and institutional capability?
