Disruptors and curious minds! Today we unpack Packy McCormick's "Not Boring" newsletter and his Memorandum On Human Strategy. For that pesky A.I world YOU now can't escape.

We think the big question is: Will AI commoditize creativity? And if it can, what can you do to stay ahead, remain relevant and thrive when everyone else loses. Can human ingenuity really stay ahead?

Spoiler: Yes.

How? Move beyond fear. Use AI as a complement, not a competitor. Harness AI creativity, update your inputs. Embrace polymath thinking, and build the "next layer up" in your work. Abstraction.

Is the memorandum a strategy for staying relevant? A call to arms? A punch in the face? All of these? All I know is tech leaders, creators, and innovators who want to future-proof their skills while navigating the challenges of the attention economy need to sit the hell up and pay attention.

And if not for you, do it for your kids.

PLUS: In TOP News we look at the $500 billion Stargate project and the UKs 'little in comparison' AI project.

In Hot Buttons we ask: Is humanity one, or infinite. Stay curious, embrace disruption, and keep Thinking on Paper in the age of AI.
