A colleague asked me today whether using AI to draft a project text counts as cheating. I didn't have an answer. I don't think anyone has actually decided what the rule is. We're all just picking one and not mentioning it.

In 2010, starting a business meant renting an office, hiring people, paying agencies, and somehow scraping together enough capital to get going. In 2026 it’s a laptop, an internet connection, and knowing how to use the tools.

Before the printing press, the hard part was making books. After it, anyone could print one. People worried writing would lose value. It didn't. The value moved from production to ideas. AI is doing the same thing to knowledge work. Making things is getting easy. Knowing what's worth making isn't.
