How a futurist reads AI news. (Hint: ignore most of it.)

The author argues that much of the current AI news cycle is mere noise and that a futurist's true role is to narrow the "cone of uncertainty" by identifying the most likely future paths. By adopting advanced AI workflows ahead of the mainstream, individuals can "live the future" to gain practical foresight and focus their strategy on the fundamental "invariants"—the security, governance, and data protections that will remain constant regardless of technological shifts.
