INSIGHT

AI Reshapes The System Of Work

  • AI changes the entire system of work, not just individual tasks.
  • Sangeet compares this to how radio-enabled Blitzkrieg changed warfare and made France's Maginot Line obsolete.
ANECDOTE

Containerization Made Ports And Jobs Obsolete

  • Containerization made ports and many middlemen irrelevant by standardizing freight into liftable packets.
  • Sangeet uses container shipping to show a second-order effect: collapsed freight costs enabled global supply chains and unbundled manufacturing.

  • Evaluate tasks by intrinsic, economic, and contextual value.
  • Sangeet warns intrinsic human value alone won't pay the bills; contextual value shifts when organizational workflows or customer journeys change.
