About this listen
We are living through a moment of acceleration that feels almost mythic. In this episode of AnthroIntelligence: Culture, Cognition, and Code, I use the image of the Fire Horse to make sense of the speed, volatility, and momentum of the AI era—where technological change now moves faster than our institutions, cultures, and cognitive habits can easily absorb.
Drawing from recent discussions at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, I unpack how figures like Dario Amodei, Demis Hassabis, and Elon Musk describe the curve ahead: not whether AI will transform society, but how violently that curve will bend. This episode explores recursion, self-improvement loops, energy constraints, and the growing gap between technological velocity and social adaptation.
The Fire Horse is already running. The question is no longer whether change is coming, but whether we learn to ride—or get trampled by the speed of it.
