Twisthand Intelligence

The idea

A twisthand was the skilled operator of Nottingham's lace machines: a person guiding a machine that multiplied their work. The machine set the pace. The twisthand decided what was worth making.

AI is already woven into the practice of most design and property firms, whether or not anyone chose it. So the question over breakfast is the twisthand’s question. Who is guiding it, and by what judgement?
