In 1999, armed with curiosity and a two-inch stack of slides, I stood at the threshold of Web 1.0 and saw commerce rewritten by browsers and bytes. Instinct said the future belonged to data flowing free and software sold as service. I trusted it, shared it, and saw it bloom.
Over two decades, instinct has been my compass—guiding through dot-com bursts, cloud revolutions, and the silent upheaval of SaaS. I’ve called the turns early, sometimes to skepticism, always to eventual clarity.
Today, that instinct tells me we’re at a new inflection: AI not merely as automation, but as abundant, exponential labor. It’s crystallized in what I call the Three Laws of VE Economics:
- Infinite Scale: AI labor expands boundlessly, unconstrained by human limitations.
- Cognitive Commoditization: Intelligence becomes universally accessible, transforming business at its core.
- Exponential Learning: Every iteration fuels faster, deeper insights—accelerating economic transformation.
These laws aren’t guesses—they’re convictions, earned by decades of careful watching, analyzing, and anticipating.
Now, through this renewed Keenan Vision, I invite you to trust instinct again. To lean forward, glimpse the horizon, and shape the future before it shapes us.
Let’s build what comes next, together.
