“Among my Knowledge Worker peers, I am hearing this more and more often: people who want to pick up pottery, painting, crochet or other old-timey analog hobbies.” by Aaron Horwath

"The leap from 'I built a thing' to 'therefore anyone can build a thing' misses the entire point of why you hire knowledgeable, experienced people in the first place."

"Large software projects have never been limited only by how quickly an individual can produce code. They are limited by how well people can coordinate their understanding of the system they are changing."

Forty Minutes for Four Seconds
The report that analyzes nothing. The strategy deck that averages every strategy deck ever made. The three-page email that took four seconds to produce and wants twenty minutes of your life. A new genre of document is loose in the workplace, and the interesting question isn't whether it's any good. It's who ends up paying for the effort that nobody put in, and what a company quietly stops knowing while its output goes up.https://branici.ro/2026/07/26/forty-minutes-for-four-seconds/

#Claude #Opus5 is a cost-effective model that outperforms its predecessor, Opus 4.8, in coding, knowledge work, and problem-solving tasks. It excels in #softwareengineering, #knowledgework, and #scientificresearch, and demonstrates improved performance in visual outputs. Early-access customers report that Opus 5 is more thorough, reliable, and capable of handling complex tasks with greater agency. https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-5?eicker.news #tech #media #news

"Small teams have coherence for free; the multiplier is uniformly positive there, which is why the loudest agent boosters tend to be small teams, and why they are mostly right about their own context."

A bit of behind-the-scenes honesty: I use AI (a licensed tier of Microsoft Copilot) on Sunday mornings to speed up my own publishing routine. What used to take two or three hours now takes about 30 minutes, and the SEO and social posts it helps produce are probably better than what I would have done alone. That is the productivity gain this post is about, and why I think knowledge workers are more exposed than we assumed. https://www.ctnet.co.uk/economics-exponential-age/

A question I keep coming back to while writing this series: if AI makes skilled knowledge work dramatically faster, where does that value actually go? History (the Industrial Revolution's Engels pause is a good example) suggests it does not automatically flow to workers. I explore this in my latest post. https://www.ctnet.co.uk/economics-exponential-age/ What has your experience been so far?

The Second Thinking Space
This article explains why I use artificial intelligence not as a substitute for thinking, but as a second thinking space. Based on the idea that complex structures are rarely understood from within a single perspective, AI serves as a means of exploration, pattern recognition, intellectual challenge, and perspective expansion. The goal is not automation, but deeper insight into the hidden structures that shape decisions, organisations, and human behaviour.https://ifabsthill.com/2026/06/19/the-second-thinking-space/

Will AI take our jobs? Cal Newport argues knowledge work is shifting towards "freestyle work" — where deep thinking beats fast processing. The winners won't be those who use AI most. They'll be those who know what to protect — judgment, creativity, and the capacity to think independently.

#Anthropic launched #Claude #Fable5, the first publicly available version of its #Mythos model, excelling in #softwareengineering, #knowledgework, and #vision. While Fable 5 is available to the public, it comes with safety limits, blocking responses in high-risk areas and deferring to a less powerful model. Anthropic is also deploying a new version of Mythos, called Mythos 5, to approved organisations. https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/09/anthropic-released-claude-fable-5-its-most-powerful-model-publicly-days-after-warning-ai-is-getting-too-dangerous/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

AI speeds up many forms of work, which changes more than delivery times. It also changes how people think. Quick summaries and fast conclusions create pressure to move on before ideas have been tested properly.
Depth usually comes from reflection, revision, disagreement, and time.
None of those processes move particularly fast.

AI is exceptional at speeding things up, but speed has side effects.
Quick summaries. Quick conclusions. Quick strategies. The danger isn’t only automation, but - perhaps more importantly - it’s the gradual normalisation of shallow thinking. 👉 https://www.martinkubler.com/the-ai-illusion-3/

AI makes it easier than ever to produce things quickly, but it also creates a subtle trap: confusing activity with progress.
More output doesn’t automatically mean better thinking.

What skill have you developed in the last five years?
Ask most knowledge workers what skills they've developed in the last five years, and the honest answer is "email, instant messaging, and meetings." Not exactly skills you can sell. And AI is making it worse.https://nathans.blog/2026/05/15/what-skill-have-you-developed-in-the-last-five-years/

"These workers are training AI to take their own jobs.
There’s a hidden workforce powering the rise of ChatGPT, and nearly 1 in 5 of them have fallen into homelessness.
We investigated America’s AI sweatshops, and found a new gig economy run by Big Tech."

Every project management tool descends from Frederick Taylor's factory floor — the guy who said the ideal worker should "more nearly resemble in his mental make-up the ox than any other type."
The interface got prettier. The assumption didn't change.
If you're moving cards across columns and updating status fields, that's not work.
