Currently on pause and loving it.

But this only works if YOU decide what gets automated and what stays in human hands.

Not your vendor. Not your AI provider. You.

The best AI implementation isn't the one that removes the most people. It's the one that makes the remaining decisions more powerful.

"Algorithms can predict, but only human beings can decide, and that is a crucial distinction." Jonathan Sacks, Morality

Every AI conversation right now is about what the technology can do for your business.

Instead, ask what it should do and who gets to make that call. 🧵

[James Kane @JamoKane]

AI should amplify your decisions, not replace them.

The goal:
Every person operating at 150% capacity
Without the burnout
Software supercharging humans, not substituting for them

[James Kane @JamoKane]

Jobs aren’t disappearing overnight, they’re being submerged.

As the “AI can just do this” line rises,
more of the role falls below it.

Call it reshaping if you want,
but the surface area is shrinking.

AI will reshape how Americans work —but not in the way many expect.

The BCG Henderson Institute estimates that 50–55% of US jobs will be altered by AI in the next 2–3 years, while 10–15% face elimination over a longer horizon.

Why?

Two factors will determine this outcome: how AI substitutes human work and how it increases demand. When jobs can be augmented by AI, organizations may quickly need more people in new and evolving roles. But full job replacement will happen more gradually.

The catch: you need to implement this safely and securely.

That's hard. But the productivity improvements on the other side are extraordinary.

The businesses that figure this out first won't just be more efficient, they'll be structurally different from their competitors.

[James Kane @JamoKane]

In the 19th century, electric motors were expensive. So businesses had one central motor powering everything: fans, sewing machines, meat grinders.

As costs dropped, each device got its own built-in motor.

That's exactly what's happening with software engineering right now. 🧵

[James Kane @JamoKane]

You don't need a centralised engineering team powering every business function anymore.

AI lets you embed engineering capability directly into each function.

Your sales expert builds software to improve GTM. Your finance team builds software to improve their workflows.

I love the #VisionPro eye and hand tracking. I do not like having a screen attached to my face.

My wish: a much lighter form factor that just contains the eye/hand tracking and connects to my #macbook via Bluetooth.

Please please @tim_cook

@susie_dent My grandmother used to say she’d ‘had it up to pussy’s bow’, meaning she was sick of something.

The key to driving in Athens is to not look in the direction the danger is coming from. That way the danger knows it needs to take care of itself.

@matttburke And obviously free speech means we’d have both sides represented at ANZAC day celebrations.
