• Nobody Understands AI (14:54, 13 Oct 2026)

  Knowing how a thing is built is not understanding how it thinks. Why fluent use isn't understanding either, and the trap closing around businesses that hand their thinking to the middle of the curve.

  2. 3:03 Neither do I

• The Brain Got a Body (31:35, 2 Oct 2026)

• The New Currency of the AI Economy: Tokens, Trust and Attention (16:29, 15 Jul 2026)

  The government says AI isn't eating Australian jobs, then builds an office to manage it anyway. What's really being repriced isn't work - it's value itself. A working model of where value pools once intelligence gets cheap: tokens, attention, and trust.

  1. 2:02 The machine we've all been running
  2. 3:31 ... but before that, a quick detour, because I built you something
  3. 5:08 Tokens: intelligence, metered
  4. 7:23 Attention: the resource that won't scale
  5. 9:14 Trust: the one you can't buy
  6. 12:32 The loop nobody's drawing
  7. 14:23 Human first isn't a slogan, it's the arithmetic
• The Fable (12:20, 15 Jun 2026)

  Anthropic split the frontier in two, exactly as predicted. Three days later, one letter from Washington shut both models down for every non-American on the planet. What export-controlling intelligence teaches Australian businesses about resilience.

• The Readiness Trap (15:28, 14 May 2026)

• Artificial Ignition (12:50, 9 Apr 2026)

• The AI Risk You're Ignoring Already Decided Your Fate This Morning (8:33, 16 Jan 2026)

  Most people fear AI will take their job someday, but the real risk is quieter: algorithms are already deciding what you see, believe, buy, and who gets left behind. This article breaks down how invisible AI systems are shaping your choices every morning, why that's more dangerous than sci‑fi doom scenarios, and what you can do to take back control now.

  1. 0:31 Visionary Friday series. Don't Fear What's Coming. Fear What's Already Here
  2. 2:08 You're not worried about the wrong thing. You're worried about the wrong timeline.
  3. 3:11 And nobody's talking about this because the future is sexier than the present.
  4. 4:03 Want to know what real AI displacement looks like?
  5. 5:08 And here's the Australian angle that should concern you.
  6. 6:44 So what does this actually mean for you?
  7. 7:39 The greatest AI risk you face isn't what it might become.
  8. 8:04 The question isn't whether AI will change your business. It's whether you'll notice it already has.
• TIME's 2025 Person of the Year isn't a person. (5:22, 12 Dec 2025)

  TIME's 2025 Person of the Year isn't human - it's the Architects of AI, and that changes everything for business, politics, and everyday life. In this post, I unpack why a non‑person now shapes our future more than any politician, what that means for Aussie founders and local communities on the Sunshine Coast, and how business leaders can ride this wave instead of being crushed by it

  1. 0:36 TIME's 2025 Person of the Year isn't a person!
  2. 0:41 The real question is how much WE have changed?
  3. 0:44 But what if AI changes that equation?
• The Real Black Friday Sale: When Intelligence Becomes the Currency That Matters (7:50, 28 Nov 2025)

  AI thinks differently from us. It can act as a multiplier for your activities, but it can also bring entirely new values to the equation. Values you never knew existed because you were too busy optimising within boundaries you'd inherited. That's not a bug. That's the feature.

  1. 0:27 Black Friday is here!
  2. 2:35 Where is AI IQ?
  3. 3:26 The slope of improvement isn't linear. It's not even exponential. It's approaching vertical

• The Orbital Computing Revolution (14:45, 19 Nov 2025)

  Humanity is quietly entering a new computing era. Three announcements in late 2025. Google's orbital datacenters, SpaceX's 7,600-satellite mesh network, and Nvidia's $1B push into Nokia's 6G infrastructure. all reveal one story unfolding across space and Earth. Launch costs are falling, AI workloads are overwhelming the power grid, and satellite networks are reaching global density. The result is a single, converging architecture that moves compute above the atmosphere, links it through laser-connected LEO constellations, and delivers it to devices through AI-native 6G networks. The infrastructure stack of the 2030s is taking shape right now. The only question is which regions and companies move fast enough to benefit.

  1. 0:54 The Orbital Computing Revolution: Why Space Datacenters, Starlink, and 6G Are Actually One Story.
  2. 1:02 Google's betting on solar power that never sleeps.
  3. 3:11 Starlink already built the network everyone else is planning
  4. 5:10 Nvidia-Nokia's 6G bet: The terrestrial-space bridge

  8. 12:03 Why I'm still paying attention.
• McKinsey Proved Us Right About Agentive AI (16:30, 25 Oct 2025)

  McKinsey just deployed 12,000 AI agents, cut 5,000 consultants, and restructured their entire business model around AI. Meanwhile, Deloitte Australia got caught using AI without oversight and had to refund the government $440,000 for a report full of hallucinations and fake citations. The message? 2025 is absolutely the Year of AI Agents. But deploy them without human oversight, and you're headed for an expensive disaster. We called it at AI Compass, and now the data proves it: 77% of financial services firms report positive ROI from AI agents in year one, with the market set to grow 815% by 2030. The question isn't whether to adopt AI agents. It's whether you'll do it smartly or end up as the next cautionary tale.

• The Energy Race for Quantum Leap (11:53, 25 Aug 2025)

  When asked about AI's massive energy consumption threatening our future, I predicted we'd discover new energy sources within 12 years - maybe even cold fusion. The audience thought it was Star Trek fantasy. Then UCLA announced quantum computing at room temperature, proving that humanity's race for better AI is forcing breakthroughs that will either give us near-free energy or systems using 1% of current power - either way, we win.

• The Digital Paradox: Amplifying Our Potential and Pitfalls in the AI Age (5:44, 20 Sep 2024)

  The article emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balanced perspective when adopting new technologies. It's crucial to use digital tools to augment human intelligence, not replace it.

• AI Is Not a Silver Bullet - but can help (6:50, 3 Sep 2024)

  AI is revolutionising business, but let's get one thing clear: it's not a magic wand. At the 2024 Something Digital conference in Brisbane, the consensus was clear-success in the AI era means blending smart tech with smarter human leadership. As AI Compass, we champion "Heart over Hardware, People over Pixels." Automate the mundane, sure, but don't outsource your judgement, empathy, or ethics to the algorithm. True ROI from AI comes not from chasing the latest hype, but from strategic, human-centric deployment - freeing people up for what only people can do: critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and building real relationships. The future isn't about humans vs. machines. It's about building the right bridge between the two.
