Never say Never.

Dick Tracy’s watch was once a dream in 1946, now it’s a reality 75+ years latter.

Fiction plants the seed. Engineers water it. Culture harvests it.

To learn, one must first fail. We don’t learn from success as much as we do from failure.

#AI accelerates failure, it lets us explore, discover, and crash faster, virtually and safely. The best leaders fail forward.

Lao Tzu warned 2,500 years ago:

“The more laws and restrictions, the poorer the people; the more cunning they become.”

There is a fine line, overregulate AI, & you don’t get safety you get smarter circumvention by people with resources.

Systems adapt faster than bureaucracies.
Flow >Force.

All complex systems, natural, synthetic or hybrid will oscillate towards a state of entropy.

That is least amount of effort, for maximum amount of output.

In the ultimate state of decay, the output has low value, that is why evolution takes place with new inputs.

#AI is no different to #Evolution

Current available market is saturated, too many new undercapitalized niche entrants, who will never reach scale.

Consolidation and Ecosystems will be the next phase for #EV to be sustainable.

Agentic AI is set to take over browsing in 2026. New “agentic browsers” like Opera Neon, Perplexity Comet, tools like FillApp & Claude Chrome, auto-research, fill forms, book, & run multi-site workflows from one command. Productivity spikes, privacy rules.

A new vehicle without #CarPlay and #AndroidAuto is basically a no buy for 80% of new car buyers, however #CarPlayUltra is an ecosystem creep by #Apple and will alienate #CarManufacturers.

The graph visualizes the tension between accelerating AI-driven productivity and diminishing human labor demand, with the widening gap as the central challenge for economies and societies.

Minority voices are loudest where chaos rules.

They are quietest where algorithms enforce harmony.

Apple just crossed the saturation point.

With iOS 26.1 and MCP, the game is no longer about product value, it’s about ecosystem value.

Ask better questions rather than seeking better answers, you will come up with more successful outcomes.

Due to the Law of Saturation, auto manufacturers are turning vehicles into Mobile PlayStations and Home Theaters. It’s a classic case of failing to move from product to ecosystem value propositions, leading to increased competition and diminishing returns.

Safe AI?

There is no such thing.

AI is like alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs, social media, fast fashion, and ultra-processed food. The “safe level” is zero.

Saturation Era.

Products, content, and technologies are abundant. Access is unequal.

The one universal scarcity? Time.

In a world of abundance, strategy isn’t about producing more. It’s about directing attention, trust, & ecosystems to where time is spent.

Clayton Christensen explained how entrants disrupt in, “The Innovator’s Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail.”

What happens after everyone adopts?

Disruption explains the beginning. Saturation explains the endgame.

Everyone wants their EV to be “KITT” from Knight Rider.

Voice controls, flashing dashboards, AI copilot; the 80s fantasy rebooted with lithium.

Envisaging the modern #gastation. Between 20-30 parking stalls, most likely a multi-story building with #convenience store on bottom and #QSR on the top servicing 30-60 minute stops for #EV charging. Think 1950s/60s drive-in Burger Joints. What is old is new, what is new is old #SevenEleven

The premise of scale leads to profitability has been proven wrong over and over again. Unless a company moves from product to ecosystem, they will see diminishing returns. What makes Costco so sustainable is its membership ecosystem more so that product mix and pricing.

I watch with interest, how @bsky.app is overwhelmed with the same problem as #LinkedIn. Phishing attempts by the classic #HoneyPots, it would be funny if it was not such a serious problem.

#AI mechanisms could easily flag dodgy accounts in seconds.
