THE FIELD
A practitioner's view from the front line of AI and human readiness.
Essays Q1; 2026



01
Human OS for AI
$300 billion spent on AI. 75% of programs fail. The bottleneck isn't technology. It's human readiness. A practitioner's framework for the five dimensions that determine whether people absorb change or reject it. What it takes to make the investment land.
02
Our Third Option
The frame that both doom and utopia miss. A dad used AI to build a research network for his dying son from a kitchen table at 2 AM. That's neither frame. It's what a renaissance looks like before anyone names it.
03
The Authorship Watch
What AI does to the person holding the pen. Somewhere around draft three, I stopped being the person writing this. Two archetypes emerge from what happened next.
