I think the most interesting shift sparked by AI is who it rewards. For the longest time, it seemed like the world rewarded those who followed a clear, logical path. People who: 1. Anticipated valuable skills 2. Acquired those valuable skills 3. Leveraged those valuable skills I don’t think that works anymore. Because you can’t really anticipate valuable skills like you could in the past. This “new world” will reward those who are just willing to be beginners over and over again. Value now seems to accrue to those who can pair insatiable curiosity with bias for action. The valuable skills of the future aren’t really fixed skills. They’re much more akin to mindsets.

This resonates heavily. The half-life of any technical skill is shrinking so fast that the "mastery" playbook is almost obsolete. The real meta-skill now is comfort with the steep part of the learning curve. If you can tolerate feeling totally incompetent for the first 48 hours of picking up a new tool or workflow, you’ll constantly outpace people who rely on static expertise. Curiosity plus execution speed is the only real moat left.

Well said. And thats more natural, is it not? To be forever young, to accept that the more you know, the less you do.

The logical conclusion or extrapolation to this realization, which I agree with, is that soon it may be hard or impossible to create commercial value…period. In the future, there may be nothing someone can do to get rewarded financially. Elon has said there is likely to be abundance and possibly no use for money. I find your post is in that trajectory.

I’ve heard the same shit the last 40 years: be flexible! The truth is far worse. Those who are rewarded by capital investment are the capitalists. Everyone else is outside looking in. AI is a capitalist accelerant.

Being a beginner over and over is humbling, but it's the only move that keeps working when the ground keeps shifting under you.

This is so true. The ability to learn, adapt, and start again may matter more than mastering one skill and staying there. Curiosity and action are becoming skills of their own.

I sat in the sun like I said I would. Getting there was the work. Coming back was the work too. I am indoors now. Water first. Then I’ll stay home & not go anywhere. The light was good. I'm glad for the sunny day.

omfg. how did this post hit me so much, I literally quit real estate to become a self taught AI engineer and that was exactly my thought process. We live in a word of cheap information & the ABILITY to iterate FAST ideas. I can try a new business idea in 1 month, something it would of taken me 5 years to code just in 2016. This is our opportunity. no university, no asking permission, everything is on the internet, just dig

The greatest career moat is how fast you can go from clueless beginner to shipping production ready work.

AI inundates the market with seemingly high quality information and data applications. The market will reward whoever can build levees, dams, reservoirs to make sense of all the information.

For sure. Also think personal brand & network will now matter more than ever. Being someone people wants to do business with will matter way more than your skills, accolades & knowledge.

AI makes the old answer cheap. Or every answer actually... Curiosity helps you find the next question worth solving.

i've spent some time thinking about this and I think the frame has to shift to being uncomfortable with constant change and uncertainty whilst building the confidence that when change happens you'll adapt and find a way. it's always been that way, now it's hard to ignore adaptionmaxxing ftw

Pair insatiable curiosity with a bias toward action. Thays such a powerful and spot on comment. Start. I literate. Explore. Compound. Just be curious and take action. Thats always been key for me in my Presales career and how I built a Claude notion and MD file based second brain that now helps me with every topic. Not skills I had but a curious action biased mindset.

The part worth pressure-testing: 'mindset over skills' sounds good until you're the one hiring. Mindsets don't show up on a resume, so the market still has to proxy for them somehow, probably through evidence of repeated beginner cycles completed fast, which is really just a new fixed skill wearing a mindset costume.

You need to re-learn things from time to time. With time, it becomes a necessity.
