Elon Musk’s Grokipedia is one of many experiments designed to replace human-generated writing with LLMs. But Ryan McGrady says its defining feature is its use of technological power to re-exert top-down authority over information and knowledge. Who is Grokipedia for, he asks, other than its owner?

AI is not just a theoretical disruptor. It's already here—subtly augmenting some roles, quietly automating others, and rapidly altering the calculus of employment, wages and urban economic resilience.
One path leverages AI to build a fairer, smarter workforce, while the other allows silent displacement to undercut economic inclusion and dignity of work.
