Operatorship

Technopreneurship was never a theory of value. It was a description of an arbitrage: capability, distribution and coordination were all scarce, and the person who had learned them held a moat priced in years. Superintelligence — capability at expert breadth, rented by the token — repriced all three at once, and what became scarce was everything that used to be free because a human was carrying it implicitly: trust, attention, taste, and the willingness to be answerable. This book does the autopsy in five parts — the word, the breakfast, the name, the curriculum and the risk — then names the successor and defines it in one sentence: operatorship is the practice of owning the consequences of machine work you did not perform. It ends with a replacement syllabus, an exam that cannot be answered by a generated document, and five falsifiable predictions — plus seventeen activities, six figures, a teacher's pack, a glossary, an index and a typeset PDF.
