Description
Episode 3 - The week of April 13, 2026 illustrates a change of kind - not degree.
AI is no longer installing itself in dedicated tools you choose to open. It's installing itself in tools you use without thinking. And when a technology becomes invisible, the rules of the game change.
Three signals this week. The first rests on a cost projection that sounds exaggerated - until you understand what it actually implies for the teams building on top of it. The second shows how quickly tools you already know well have changed their fundamental nature. The third raises a simple question that nobody has a satisfying answer to yet.
Who is actually in control when AI is enabled by default inside the software everyone uses every day?
That's not a rhetorical question. It's a governance question - and it's already urgent.
