Long read: the AI race isn't optimizing human coordination, it's eliminating it entirely

A provocative long post arguing human coordination is becoming 'the only job': management is less about orders than delivering undiluted streams of ground-truth data, and culture reduces friction in those pathways. The AI race's goal, the author contends, is to eliminate coordination entirely by removing humans from processes — and humans are fighting back by deliberately introducing friction, with midterm results signaling a period of trying to slow the wheels of production. Advice for leaders: adjust your worldview or you're getting bad info; lead with the carrot, not the stick.
