When you read Exponential View 🔮 every Sunday, you spot the trends before they become the hype. Azeem Azhar wrote exactly this a month ago!

AI’s productivity paradox: how it might unfold more slowly than we think - my experience concurs with the view that larger organisations find it much harder to achieve real benefits with this new technology than one might think via Exponential View 🔮 buff.ly/038JCMa

"Autonomous AIs that act as co-workers and handle routine tasks can allow top professionals to focus on complex problem-solving, significantly boosting their performance and their firms’ profits." Emerging evidence suggests that AI could drive automation and wage depreciation at

Artificial competitive edge. Teams using AI are around three times more likely to produce top-tier solutions than teams without AI, while traditional specialist advantages fade when AI assistance becomes universal. Azeem Azhar exponentialview.co/p/data-to-star…

Hundreds of hours of hands‑on AI building in seven lessons: 1️⃣ Automate any task done 5×/mo 2️⃣ Modular workflows 3️⃣ LLM = foreman, code = bricklayer 4️⃣ Docs must live—let AI update 5️⃣ Research + context → better prompts 6️⃣ Time compression: trust fast output 7️⃣ Humans stay

"The AI consciousness illusion, and the dream (nightmare?) of sentient machines." Prompted by Kevin Roose's recent piece in The New York Times I wrote a short essay for Azeem Azhar's essential Exponential View 🔮 exponentialview.co/p/the-ai-consc…

What does Spain's blackout tell us about the future of the energy transition? I spoke with Octopus Energy founder and CEO Greg Jackson

China’s catching up with the US in AI capabilities… But it doesn't matter. I spoke with Lennart Heim to discuss America's big advantage and the geopolitics of compute:

Grateful to join Exponential View 🔮. My argument is a bit more nuanced—China's AI progress does matter, but it's only part of the story. The bigger picture is about compute scale, where the US maintains critical advantages. Thanks for having me, Azeem Azhar!
