Your Next Colleague Won’t Have a Pulse

This is why the AI era feels less like a gadget launch and more like a class reshuffle. It will reward people who can frame problems, spot nonsense and make decisions when the data gets slippery. In other words, character is becoming a technical skill. The pub argument version is simple: the machine won’t replace men; it will expose them. Strip away the theatre of busyness and what remains is the thing that has always mattered but rarely got measured — taste under pressure, clarity amid noise, and the guts to own a call when the algorithm shrugs. That’s not science fiction. That’s tomorrow morning.
