Ah, yes, Jacquard: the programming language for when #AI writes code and humans pretend they're still in control 👩💻🤖. Because nothing says "trustworthy software" like outsourcing your job to a robot and then double-checking its work like a suspicious parent. A true #revolution in creating the illusion of #human #relevance in the age of #machine dominance! 🚀🤷♂️

For the first time since its inception, the ‘Biennale di Venezia’ has artistic relevance. No wonder those in charge are stepping down. They didn’t see this coming.

“You should never wait for the world to catch up to your obsolescence." - Futurist Jim Carroll
Here's a truth to consider: your gut feels the pivot long before your head admits it.
Sometimes we are forced into a career change or pivot. Other times, we need to make the decision on our own.
Either way, it's a gut-wrenching moment.
I know that when I was thinking about leaving the corporate world behind back in 1990, I was pretty miserable. My career track had changed due to a merger; my opportunities vanished; my successful path forward was now in doubt. And yet, I struggled mightily with the idea of moving from career certainty to becoming a self-employed unknown chasing a future that didn't yet exist.
But I went through with it, and it turned out to be the right thing to do.
Here's what I've learned in the decades since: when a pivot is forced on you, you go through something a lot like the stages of grief: shock, denial, anger, and eventually acceptance. When the pivot is your own choice, the same thing happens, just in slow motion. You sit in denial that things have to change. You get angry that they have to. And eventually, hopefully, you accept it.
As I wrote in my book Now What? Reinvention and the Role of Optimism in Finding Your New Future, the faster you get to acceptance, the quicker you can reinvent.
So how do you get to acceptance? You learn to recognize the signals. Some triggers will tell you when it's time:
The expiry of your relevance
The "soul-crushing" signal
The need for reinvention velocity
The "Sunday night" signal
Read about them in the full post.
And one trigger that sits apart from the rest: if you are drowning your career misery in substance abuse, the pivot question has already answered itself. The first move isn't a career change. It's getting help, from yourself or from someone trained to give it. The pivot comes after.
Here's the filter, though: not every bad week is a signal. Burnout, a difficult client, a rough quarter — those are weather, not climate. The triggers above only matter when they become persistent, structural, and patterned. If a vacation fixes it, it wasn't a pivot signal.
You should never find yourself thinking "I should have jumped sooner."
Because when you wonder if it's time to pivot, it probably already is.

The Atlantic, in a desperate attempt to stay relevant, announces that #AI might not be a #bubble after all. 🤔💸 Apparently, when you throw enough digital spaghetti at the wall, something finally sticks — or at least they hope. 🤷♂️📉

"Stop treating perishable expertise as permanent knowledge. - Futurist Jim Carroll
--
Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
--
When I walked out of the corporate world in 1990, I carried a set of skills I thought were permanent.
I was wrong.
I quickly realized that in the freelance economy, knowledge is the foundation, but expertise is an asset that quickly fades. I learned pretty quickly, when it comes to the art of the infinite pivot, that if you aren't actively enhancing and renewing your expertise, you aren't standing still- you're falling behind.
Think about that - knowledge is what you know. Expertise is how you apply it. And if core knowledge keeps changing, your expertise keeps becoming outdated. You need to rapidly and relentlessly pivot.
And core knowledge is certainly changing. In the 36 years since, I’ve watched the "half-life of knowledge" shrink from decades to months. Everything I was writing about, speaking about, and advising about was undergoing relentless change.
Today, we're witnessing even faster change with AI. What you know at this exact moment in time will probably be irrelevant tomorrow.
I carry this story with me all the time. I’ve spent three decades telling global audiences that wealth is no longer found in what you know, but in how fast you can learn. I live this idea - in my home office, curiosity isn't a hobby: it's a core business process. I can't afford to be a "specialist" in a world that keeps changing the specialties. That's why any time I have a bit of downtime, I spend a chunk of it learning new stuff. The last few weeks have seen me wildly immersed in the vast new sophistication of the Claude AI set of knowledge tools because something profound is happening here. I can't explain what I don't actively use.
What does this mean? Today, as AI moves at "ludicrous speed," this lesson is the only thing keeping nomadic workers relevant.
The Infinite Pivot requires you to treat your current skills as temporary tools.
Use them, master them, but never assume they are permanent.
The journey continues tomorrow.
Are you ready for the next pivot?

"Consistency is only a virtue if the path is still relevant." - Futurist Jim Carroll
Here's something you already know: doing the same old thing puts you on the road to the same old destination.
Keeping that in mind, here are some simple rules to avoid consistency:
Don’t wait for clarity because speed is the only certainty (we don't know where we're going, but we're making great time)
Don’t fear the pivot because the straight path is extinct (volatility is the new normal!)
Don’t ignore the rebels because they see what you’re missing (think about that one - you know it's true!)
Don’t rely on your history because it won’t write your future (legacy is a death sentence)
Don’t prioritize your process because the world prioritizes your progress (be creatively disorganized)
Don’t mistake activity for achievement because movement isn't always forward (invest in free time)
Don’t wait for clarity because speed is the only certainty (jump without knowing!)
Don’t fear the pivot because the straight path is extinct (change yourself already!)
Don’t seek the 'perfect' plan because agility beats perfection every time (you can't plan in a fast future)
Don’t build for today because tomorrow is already here (live forward...)
Don’t settle for the comfortable because growth only happens in discomfort (comfort zone stuff)
How do you do that?
Abandon the roadmap - it was made for a different time
Abandon your assumptions - because they are already anchors
Abandon the tried and true for new things
Abandon perfection because mistakes are your new knowledge opportunities
Abandon yesterday’s logic since it is now basically tomorrow's illogical foundation
Abandon the status quo because it's already obsolete
Abandon what you know to find what you don't know
Abandon the safe plan for the risky unknown
Abandon the analysis and go with your gut
Abandon what you've already done to find what you need to do next
What's the phrase we often hear? I heard it in a song yesterday while driving: "Today is only yesterday's tomorrow.' It's from Uriah Heep, a great 70s band.
Rethink it: "Tomorrow is yesterday's missed opportunity" if you don't change things up!

Futurist Jim Carroll has seen many companies fail at innovation because consistency is central to their culture.

"In a world of big change, we are surrounded by some very small minds!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
There are still some people fighting the battles of 2024, the issues of 2022, the world of 2020, the realities of 2018.
It's 2026.
Everything has changed.
What happens in a time of big change is that the small minds refuse to let go of where they were, and find it impossible to go to where the rest of the world is going.
They struggle to comprehend the new order of the world because they are still raging about the old one.
They can't let go of their desire to go back to where they think we should be going, rather than going to where the rest of us are going.
They're a tiresome bunch, aren't they!

"Generative engine optimization: SEO was a popularity contest. GEO is an intelligence test." - Futurist Jim Carroll
We are moving from SEO to GEO, and it's happening incredibly fast!
**Maria Franzoni** had a post about that yesterday - just as the very moment I was optimizing my website for the AI got!
GEO? What's that? Rebuilding our websites so they feed the AI machine better, improving our chances of showing up in ChatGPT and other AI search results!
With this, I've turned off the minimal Google Ads I've been running and put in place the code to let "the AI machines" fully into my site.
They noticed right away! Visits began to explode.
All of this got me thinking in terms of spans of time. If 2015 was about Search Engine Optimisation. 2026 is about Generative Engine Optimisation.
How does it work? In simple terms, my site is now configured to do a different thing when an AI 'bot' appears, seeking to index my content.

"Are you a search engine?
Yes"
An AI bot?
Yes.
Oh, ok, here's a version of the content for this page, all nicely organized in the format you like so you can ingest it into your AI!"---
One thing most folks might ask at this point - isn't this my content? Do I want to feed it to AI? Shouldn't I tell them no? For a time, I did. Then, two weeks ago, I confirmed two speaking gigs that came directly to me from ChatGPT.
That woke me up! I decided to move fast.
Here's what I did.(Keep reading!)

"Inattention is a betrayal of the future. Be aware, or be history!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
I've always tried to avoid writing about politics in this series; on the other hand, I can't help but watch things and learn from them.
With that in mind, I'm always reminded by what I see that, whether in politics, business, or technology, the biggest risks we often face rarely come from external threats, but from a deliberate, internal choice: inattention.
Two recent political headlines served as a powerful reminder of this universal rule of disruption and not paying attention:
“Democrats have a curiosity problem, and it’s losing us elections.”
“Democratic Leaders Tried to Crush Zohran Mamdani. They Should Have Been Taking Notes.”If you watch or follow the news, you'll know there's a lot of political upheaval right now, and one thing that is happening is that many are complaining that the ('old') Democratic leadership is not listening to the disruptive ('younger') voices impacting their future.
That is exactly what happened with music companies, established retailers, automotive companies, and just about everyone else as ('young') upstarts came along and disrupted established ideas. And with that, these headlines give us some powerful insights into the universal challenge of change management. They describe a basic failure of leadership: ignoring new information, digging in against new ideas, and prioritizing comfort and control over the effort of exploring what’s next.
And that never works out well! This failure perfectly mirrors what happens in the business world when large, successful companies miss a massive economic shift—a seismic disruption. They essentially have an intellectual "curiosity problem" that makes them unwilling to "take notes" on the breakthrough ideas emerging from small startups or unusual sources.
That's why I would suggest that "Inattention is a betrayal of the future. Be aware, or be history." Because history has taught us this lesson, one and over!
Companies and people often make three major mistakes that continually sabotage success in a fast-changing world:Ignoring signals
Ignoring change
Losing timeTo successfully navigate disruption, you need to have developed a constant, active habit of scanning the economic landscape, embracing curiosity, and treating every unfamiliar or challenging idea as a chance to learn, rather than dismissing it.
Because the moment we stop paying attention to the subtle shifts of the present, we start becoming irrelevant in the future.

Futurist Jim Carroll has long believed that too many older incumbents don't listen to young upstarts as much as they need to.
