Product teams now face a bottleneck in strategic selection rather than engineering output, as organizations like Dazzle AI report that 90% to 100% of code is generated by AI. To prevent the production of unneeded noise, Kevin Payne advises teams to adopt a four-decision sequence—target, destination, support, and distribution—before commissioning any AI-generated asset. By defining the specific buyer, the demand, and the evidence supporting a feature first, teams ensure that AI production serves a validated business goal. This transition requires product managers to act as value maximizers who challenge AI-generated briefs, as seen when Stefania…

Local voters and new majorities force a pivot on industrial and data infrastructure
Voters and incoming legislative majorities are shifting the political landscape for industrial and data infrastructure, moving away from federal-led permitting toward local control. While the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 seeks…
Voters and incoming legislative majorities are shifting the political landscape for industrial and data infrastructure, moving away from federal-led permitting toward local control. While the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 seeks to streamline interstate power lines and energy projects, public resistance to data centers has intensified, with 40 out of 41 local ballot measures rejecting their construction (d@w's Substack). This populist backlash has forced politicians to pivot from broad job-creation rhetoric toward stricter regulation, transparency, and potential AI-related fees, as companies face higher political risks when they are perceived to externalize energy costs or labor displacement (AI Governance, Ethics and Leadership).
