Quote - "I'm going to be direct with you because I think you deserve honesty more than comfort."
The person who walks into a meeting and says "I used AI to do this analysis in an hour instead of three days" is going to be the most valuable person in the room. Not eventually. Right now. Learn these tools. Get proficient. Demonstrate what's possible. If you're early enough, this is how you move up: by being the person who understands what's coming and can show others how to navigate it. That window won't stay open long. Once everyone figures it out, the advantage disappears."

If the tea leaves are right then the cost of knowledge is driven to low cost, which means we should be rewarding Results and not Effort.
That being said, the future of work means how much an individual contributes to Revenue generating Results, not hourly effort that might produce nothing. Similar to sales commissions, there might be a low base, but its about what you can kill and eat in the market, not about how hard you tried.
One of the major reasons why I love the Olympics so much is that you can tell people who developed a really strong sense of character in the face of adversity. Most people will just crumble when they're faced with so much pressure, few can bounce back.
You can always tell when someone's going to be a champion or really great at the work they do by how they respond to negative feedback. Either they do something about it to constantly improve themselves, or they just ignore it. Who do you think is the winner?
