A common trait of high-agency people is that they take accountability for achieving a goal, not just doing some work.
I think of finding high-leverage work as having two interrelated components:
Agency: i.e. some combination of the initiative/proactiveness to try to make things happen, and relentlessness and resourcefulness to make sure you’ll succeed.
Taste: you need a good intuition for what things will and won’t work well to try. Taste is important both “in the large” (picking important problems) and “in the small” (picking approaches to solving those problems that will work well); I usually see people first become great at the latter, then the former.
AI feels like cheating only until we accomplish something that was never possible before—then it simply becomes progress.
as AI tools become as ordinary and essential as spell-check or smartphone cameras, spamming “AI generated” disclosures everywhere makes them meaningless. Individuals bear the responsibility of whatever they create, regardless of how they create it.
