Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  1. People with knowledge of “the better way” will run circles around their colleagues and bosses.
  2. The technology and models that ultimately elevate the craft will get lasting traction in Hollywood, while the prompt-based slop tools will focus more on social and content creator use-cases.
  3. “That’s fake” will become a default reaction as we become increasingly unimpressed by attention-grabbing content.
  4. Hardware becomes a more popular moat (amid a surge of hardware startups).
  5. Graphs, portable memory, and real-time data are the new proprietary data moats.
  6. Ambient listening and summarization will go mainstream.
  7. The power in consumer AI will shift to tightly coupled hardware and operating system providers.
  8. The lack of change management becomes the ultimate advantage.
  9. Change management is human rewiring, not technical. Change in a company never happens naturally.
