Premium web and AI builds for service businesses. Writing about what the Caribbean should skip in the next decade."

1/ The AI leapfrog era is starting.
Most developing nations are about to make the same 10 mistakes the mobile era taught us not to repeat.
I write about what to build and what to skip.

@1Umairshaikh the cold cake thing is pretty cool

5/ But this requires admitting the current celebration is happening at the wrong moment in the cycle.
We're cheering coal jobs in 2010.
The window to pivot is now, while the enterprise contracts still exist. After AI displaces the call, there's no industry left to upskill.

1/ Jamaica's BPO industry now employs ~62,000 people and generates $1B in annual revenue.
The government celebrated this last year. The industry projects 100,000 jobs by 2027.
This is going to be Jamaica's biggest economic mistake of the decade.

4/ The right move isn't to fight automation. It's to skip ahead.
Train those 62,000 workers as AI operators, not voice agents. The skill is prompt design, escalation handling, system supervision, quality review.
Wage potential: $8-15/hr instead of $2.50. Fewer seats. More value per seat. Same industry, but it survives.

#11 — just shipped this for a hotel client. Same dynamic across service businesses: handful of repeat questions, 24/7 coverage cost regardless. This gets adopted faster in emerging markets too — when the legacy professional baseline is thinner, AI ends up being the default rather than a layer added on top of one. Different rollout, different economics

[Bevsan @bevonjamesking]

@emollick Co-Intelligence works really well for Western enterprise. I'm working through what it looks like in emerging markets where AI is the first sophisticated professional toolset, not a layer on top of one. Different rollout entirely.

5/ I write from the Caribbean. The lens is operator-level, not academic. Real budgets, named institutions, specific blueprints.
Follow if you're building.
Argue with me if I'm wrong.
I'm here for both.

4/ Some are uncomfortable:
— Sovereign LLMs are a vanity tax — Call center jobs are about to evaporate — Digital nomad visas are gentrification dressed as policy — Smart cities are political theater

@KyleKulinski Let’s do a quick poll, who do you think is smarter? I’m pretty sure Sam Harris lost almost all credibility after Covid but let’s see.

[Bevsan @bevonjamesking]

@ptremblay @PeterDiamandis I think you’re wrong, but not for the reason you always hear. Regulations can never really get in the way of moonshot innovations. If you were right, we would see companies breaking the most horrific rules and just paying for it on the back end, except this almost never happens.

[Bevsan @bevonjamesking]

@DwayneSamuels @worldnetwork Because not even Americans are dumb enough to go along with this

[Bevsan @bevonjamesking]

@tariqnasheed I disagree with you on almost everything but clips like this make me understand where you’re coming from

[Bevsan @bevonjamesking]

@dvassallo Maybe perhaps consider making a better product
