There Are No Experts Here
Digital intelligence has no final authority yet. That can feel like danger, or it can become permission to begin.
The Harness Takes Further Shape
Most people are still using digital intelligence as an optimization layer. Faster knowledge work. Faster ops. Faster drafts. That is useful, but it feels like the least interesting edge of the thing.
