Language is constantly evolving. As our world changes, so too can the meaning of words. From mice to mobiles, we use existing words to help explain new technologies.

Which is the more common profession – blacksmith or tyre technician? Without even looking at the data or asking your AI research agent for guidance, I suspect you already know the answer.

How likely is your job to disappear? The numbers are in – but the truth may be very different than your job’s result suggests.

Who’s reading this update first – you or your AI coworker? If your answer is yourself, quite likely that’s not the case. Your hard‑working AI colleagues have already done their job.

It’s all too easy to get overwhelmed by the fast pace of change. Until you shift your perspective and realise that fast change happens slowly.

People don’t like change. Or so it’s often said. In a way that implies this is an indisputable fact. Often said by people trying to preserve the status quo. I can prove that the reverse is true.

Adapting to changing conditions requires being comfortable with new ideas that do not make sense. At first.
