Solving the AI Productivity Paradox
"Rework Tax" explains why AI makes us feel faster while work takes longer. Why optimising nodes breaks the network - and how Shared State restores the physics of production.

A personal reflection, passing the ten-year mark of being deeply inside the problem, building the solution.
We’ve moved past the "wow" phase of AI. Now we have the data on how work is actually changing. A recent survey of PMs, engineers, and founders reveals a fascinating divergence.
Outbreaks move faster than systems. PathGen is being built to close this gap by combining genomics, context, and accountable AI so countries can act earlier, with greater confidence, and without giving up their sovereignty.
If agents are going to act for us, their decisions must be visible, justified, and verifiable.
Not just electricity. It burns cognitive attention, developer time, capital, and ultimately the trust people place in the systems we’re building.
