"Man is the lowest-cost, 150-pound, nonlinear, all-purpose computer system which can be mass-produced by unskilled labor." (NASA, 1965)
Every job is an OODA loop. AI doesn't replace the loop, but unbundles it into sub-functions.
The most valuable ones are irreducibly human, and the smart companies are building for rather than against the 150-pound computer.
