100x Faster Than the Internet.
Technical revolutions have a shape. We've seen it before. But this one has direct applicability for non-technical people from day one—because you can just talk to it.
The Shape of Revolutions
The Internet Goes Public
Netscape launches. Most businesses can't see why they'd need a website. The skeptics are loud. The early adopters are quiet—and building.
The Dot-Com Crash
Hype collapses. But the infrastructure survives. The companies that were building real value—Amazon, Google—emerge stronger. The technology was never the problem.
AWS and the Cloud
Computing becomes a utility. Startups can now build what only enterprises could afford. The cost of experimentation drops to near zero.
The iPhone
A computer in every pocket. Software moves from desktops to palms. The interface revolution: touch replaces click.
AI—Right Now
Intelligence becomes a utility. The interface revolution: conversation replaces everything. And it's moving 100x faster than the internet did.
What Makes This One Different
Every previous revolution required technical literacy to participate. This one doesn't. The Star Trek computer is here—you talk to it and get back what you need. Non-technical people can reach solution spaces immediately, without consulting an expert.
In 20 years since the cloud and the smartphone, we've seen an explosion of value, convenience, and productivity per economic unit. AI is that same explosion—compressed into years instead of decades.
The Intelligence Curve
Here in 2026, these models are becoming smarter all the time. Claude Opus reached an inflection point with 4.6 in early February—it went from smart and good to truly amazing.
The next revision, expected before mid-summer, will probably make this one seem modest. We're on an ever-increasing intelligence curve that improves significantly on a quarterly basis.
Some problems you can't solve today. A model in six months may handle them trivially. Executives need to be on the train so they can judge: "this is solvable now" vs. "wait two quarters and it's trivial."
This Is Not Something You Can Delegate
Because the tools are so powerful, you need the feel of them. You need to be able to directly judge whether a solution might work and how much effort it will actually take.
This is not a revolution you can phone in or hope to ride using consultants and vendors. The understanding has to live in your leadership team—because the decisions about where to apply this power are strategic decisions.

Get on the train now. Not because the current models are perfect, but because the experience of understanding what's possible—and what's coming—is the competitive advantage. Every quarter you wait is a quarter your competitors don't.
