ADDICTIVE SLOP VS. AUTONOMOUS STRATEGY
This post is about our first group workshop, Autonomous Strategy, which is coming up soon. More information and sign up link is here. If you’ve already signed up, thank you so much! We are absolutely stoked to share our work with you. Paid subscribers get a discount on the workshop.
A couple of weeks ago, we reached out to our community to find out what people were thinking about AI, and asked specifically what their biggest worries and concerns were.
The responses reflected the following major themes:
Job functions being replaced by AI or earning power being radically reduced
Culture being increasingly diluted by slop and/or information overload
The way AI will distort power structures, or worsen things politically
People having warped concepts about what AI is good for and clients being led further astray
Getting lost in this transition
The dominant narrative dictates that technological unemployment that has started with mechanical and entry-level knowledge work will swiftly make it way across increasingly senior and capable professionals with each new model rollout. Who will be left at the top is a very interesting question to ponder. It’s also a world in which any type of strategy won’t be top of mind, because almost everyone will be fucked :)
But we actually think the likelier scenarios are messier. Perhaps one where we will have dangerously addictive slop, but no major AI-powered scientific or artistic breakthroughs; essentially a world in which there’s a a bifurcation of agency between those who are dependent on AI vs. those who orchestrate new models to their own, intentional ends. We think a situation is very possible in which maintaining a healthy attention span and connection to your own intelligence is the ultimate edge.
To this end, we realized it’s the best possible time to get down to the core of what strategy is and can be under volatile conditions. To examine how best to maintain – and increase – personal agency. To review how to stay confident in navigating an uncertain, constantly shifting environment. To think through how to get access to the right tools, and the right approach for using them.
So this is why we decided to create our first group workshop, Autonomous Strategy, to think through how we want to produce, assemble, and consume knowledge at the cusp of AGI – if that’s actually what it is, or something even stranger.
A really amazing group of people has already signed up, and we would love if you joined us!
