Funny you say that, but the SPC website is still looking for candidates who have won Olympic gold medals. Oh, and that’s totally fine—I mean, who doesn’t want to trust a great person? But did I mention that women still get minimal attention despite having cool websites, great side projects, and a genuine love for building things? I bet they’d still lose to male candidates, even if they had the same Olympic gold medal. LOL
A person who hyper-maxes along the intelligence dimension will always eventually lose to computers, just as a person who hyper-maxes along the physical dimension will always eventually lose to machines.
Some wisdom paired with a little spark of curiosity goes a long way.
Code being a commodity now has also given rise to the generalists of the world. SME's and people with deep expertise in something were always sought after and the most "hireable." Where generalists who were never the best at one thing, but decent at many things, embodied that restlessness you mentioned, constantly. I believe they now have an upper-hand and can be empowered to do more because of their native agility/seeing patterns across the spectrum. I fear SME's and deep expertise are becoming commoditized; engineers and coding languages is just one of the first examples here.
beautifully put, Aditya. i am a writer/author and for the past few years, i've seen the erosion of human writing and a flood of AI text - including in myself. but i deeply believe that the more we collectively, as a human race, walk away from writing/coding/painting/making music to let AI take care of it, the more that we as individuals will run toward good art to appreciate its place in our lives.
Excellent article. I like your frankness and openness. To morph into something bigger and embrace adaptability in the age of AI, is a crucial mindset to have. Thanks for sharing.
