Thought into Things || how to navigate AI acceleration

Everything starts as a thought…

I remember hearing Philip Rosedale, the founder of Second Life, talk about how reducing latency in VR make virtual experiences feel as real as everyday life. The idea stuck with me—lower the delay between an action and its response, and suddenly, a digital world starts to feel like reality.

But now, we’re talking about something even bigger.

It’s not just about lowering latency in VR; it’s about lowering the time between what we think and what we create in the real world.

A few years ago, I’d have an idea for a project—a coding experiment, a creative design, a story to be told—and it would take weeks, and months, to turn into something tangible. I’d lose interest, lose the moment. Ideas were left as sketches, ‘half done’s’, —trapped by the limitations of time, resources, or the sheer effort required to heave them into life. Then AI tools started creeping in, cutting those wait times down to days, then hours, now often seconds.

Yesterday when I woke up, I had an idea for an app, I gave one prompt to Replit and watched it unravel an entire executable codebase ready to deploy and use in under an hour. It feels surreal.

To be honest, it’s overwhelming. I wanted to start this as a journey of documenting what might take a year or two, or maybe a few more, observing the rapid pace of AI reducing the latency between our thought into split second creative tangible results. And the realisation reflecting on this brings to myself and humanity.

And that’s what fascinates me the most about this AI revolution. It’s collapsing the space between thought and reality. It’s making it impossible to ignore how the world around us is rooted in thought as the foremost basic property.

As AI evolves—from GPT-powered text to voice cloning to real-time video generation—I can’t help but wonder: What does this mean for how we think?

If every thought can become something tangible almost instantly, does that change how we see the mind itself? Maybe we’re on the edge of a renaissance—not just in technology, but in how we understand the relationship between thought and reality. And maybe, just maybe, that’s the real revolution happening right now.

What I’ll try to cover:

• AI Creative Tools: The latest in AI writing, design, image and video tools. - I’ll share hands on examples of what I’m working on in this field.

• AI Workflow: Examples of people using AI in their daily life.

• AI Coding: All the AI tools that help us to say ‘You can just make things’

• Anything on the road to AGI: All things AI acceleration.

Likely as we go, these areas will merge.
