Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Up in Alberta, researchers are flipping old classrooms around
Generative AI building learning activities from the ground
Not just automating answers — crafting authentic tasks that stick
The kind of education where the understanding clicks
Databricks stepping back to ask the fundamental thing
What even IS this artificial intelligence we're wielding

[Chorus]
The algorithms are accelerating, cities feel the shake
San Francisco real estate climbing fast in OpenAI's wake
Anthropic lining up for IPOs, the valuations soar
The Bay is being rewired from the basement to the floor
This is June nineteen, read the ticker, feel the shift
AI is not a metaphor — it's moving plate tectonics, swift

[Verse 2]
The World Economic Forum says meta-skills are the key
Not memorizing outputs but adapting fluidly
Critical thinking wrapped around the tools that we deploy
Teams that bend don't fracture when the models get redeployed
Canada's national strategy calling AI for all
A policy that tries to keep the benefits from skewing small

[Chorus]
The algorithms are accelerating, cities feel the shake
San Francisco real estate climbing fast in OpenAI's wake
Anthropic lining up for IPOs, the valuations soar
The Bay is being rewired from the basement to the floor
This is June nineteen, read the ticker, feel the shift
AI is not a metaphor — it's moving plate tectonics, swift

[Verse 3]
The hospital networks running models through the triage door
Radiology and diagnosis finding patterns missed before
Legal firms are drafting briefs with copilots in the chair
The paralegals learning fast that augment means prepare
No profession is an island standing distant from the tide
Every workflow getting tested, every process scrutinized

[Bridge]
Google's superstar researcher just packed their desk and crossed the street
Alphabet's stock barely blinked — the market shrugged, composed, discreet
Meanwhile pharmacy conventions deep in McKesson's annual hall
Are teaching AI to the people counting capsules down the hall
Every sector, every classroom, every city block
The calendar says June but every industry's in shock

[Chorus]
The algorithms are accelerating, cities feel the shake
San Francisco real estate climbing fast in OpenAI's wake
Anthropic lining up for IPOs, the valuations soar
The Bay is being rewired from the basement to the floor
This is June nineteen, read the ticker, feel the shift
AI is not a metaphor — it's moving plate tectonics, swift

[Outro]
Twenty-twenty-six, the headlines stack like sediment on stone
Generative learning, national strategies, an industry full-grown
The question isn't whether AI arrives — it already did
The question now is who gets shaped by it, adult or kid
