If you're an outlier, high in compassion, creativity, abstract thinking, courage, or standard of quality, you will feel rejected, unloved, and misunderstood. There is no significant history of people like this having easy lives. Keep going anyhow.

Skill creates hope. Design creates the hope that they’ll get it. Influence creates the hope they’ll do it. Clearer thinking creates the hope of a better it. What kind of hope do you need to expand most?

This "last mile" is where 90% of the clarity actually comes from, and it takes some real courage and intelligence to admit that you might be missing it.
Aaron Levie@levie

CEOs are uniquely prone to AI psychosis because they’re sufficiently distant from the last mile of work that still has to happen to generate most value with AI. So when they play with AI, they see the happy path results, often not considering the next 10 or 20 things that have to happen to get sustainable results from agents. “Look I made this awesome product prototype”. Yes but you didn’t have to review the code before it went into production and fix a bunch of issues. “Look I generated a contract”. Yes but you didn’t verify all the terms before it goes out to the counterparty and didn’t have to wire up all the past contracts to work with. The best thing you can do as a CEO is to use AI a *ton* to figure out the real implications of agents in the enterprise, and come out the other side with an appreciation for both the upside and the real work that goes into them.

This coming Friday, I’ll be teaching a mini course on logical thinking. Literally how to think more logically. How to be smarter 100% of the time. I’m super pumped about sharing the research, concepts, and tools I have discovered.

Highly-logical thinkers do 4 things incredibly well: 1. They connect the dots and resolve systems 2. They can translate seamlessly between principles and tactics 3. They can think in Monte Carlo and probabilistic terms 4. They use causal reasoning in a better way

Test your brain’s logic by seeing if you can translate those 6 words into what they imply. What must be done and known. What it means for culture. And more. Those 6 words are a galaxy. To the normal mind, they look like 6 words. To the logical mind they look like 600,000.

So the exercise is this: This is an example of principles / tactics exchange, #2 above. 6 words can write 20+ books: Right things, right way, right order

@hnshah Isn’t that the truth. And since stray thoughts have a home, there seems to be a lot more stray thinking.

Stream of consciousness has turned into streams of content. Every stray thought has somewhere to land now.

It’s a little weird to talk about such a general and deep skill. I get it. But when you learn the deepest skills of things like logic, creativity, and how to form relationships, you have the toolkit to do pretty much everything better, and help others do the same.

@NaithanJones There should be a section in the left nav of twitter for "What the smart people think"

Very high IQ high perception conclusion and execution. This is exactly what should be happening
Dan Shipper 📧@danshipper

We’ve automated every single thing we can @every with AI agents. And yet there’s way more human work to do than ever. We’ve gone from 4 -> 30 human employees since GPT-3. I wrote a report on the structural reasons: how AI makes expert competence cheap, why that drives up demand for experts, and why the dynamic only intensifies as we approach AGI. After Automation: every.to/p/after-automa…

@typesfast You are forgetting that they have the 'image enhancement' technology which allows them to recover your car plate from the reflection of a tea spoon recorded by a gas station CCTV. Everyone who's seen CSI knows this.

The irony: Winning comes from the team being in the best mindset. The best mindset isn’t winning. It’s helping. When the mindset is on winning, people are shockingly unhelpful.
