everyone assumed ai would flatten the talent distribution.. turns out it amplifies the hell out of it. it used to be: can you build it. now it’s: do you know what’s worth building, & can you feel when it’s wrong. that’s ~unteachable & ~unautomatable right now. models can generate 100 variants of anything but they still can’t tell you which one matters. amazing talent is roughly priceless in the ai era because with ai it’s leverage++++++.
