The technologies that transformed the world didn't disappear because they failed. They disappeared because they became infrastructure. Invisible. Expected. Indispensable. Every revolution follows a familiar path....

For decades, technology itself was the constraint on innovation. Organizations had ideas they could not yet build, because computing power was expensive, data was hard to collect and harder to process, and artificial intelligence largely lived in research labs. Building a sophisticated digital product took serious engineering and expertise that few could afford, and the problem came down to something simple: the technology was not ready. That constraint has now disappeared. Advanced AI models...

Intelligence used to feel free. The infrastructure under it never was. For most of the digital era, intelligence felt abundant. A search cost almost nothing. An email was free. Copying text or code could be done endlessly using a micro amount of physical resource. The internet taught a generation that information was also free and lived outside economics. AI ends that illusion. Every prompt sent to a large language model starts a chain of physical events. Data centers allocate compute....
