Proof that the singularity has passed will start becoming more evident.

If you notice that some people seem to be getting more and more productive.

Posting more and more.

Showing up more and more...

And if you’re wondering "how does she do it!?" the answer is increasingly “AI”.

Two productivity classes will emerge, those on board, and those not. It’s not a judgment. It’s just what’s happening.

The trick for all of us is to know where to use AI, and where to be human.

(Hint: None of these posts are written with AI.)

Today’s AI is generative. We know that. But like “agentic” or even “AI” itself, these words have already lost all meaning.

A couple years ago, "we marveled at our own magnificence as we gave birth to AI." (Yes, that was Morpheus).

Unlike the clunky chatbots of the AOL days, today’s models can easily pass the Turing Test.

And what makes them special is their ability to generate—to

synthesize.

But as we collectively ask ourselves what human value will soon be, after Sam Altman’s first million humanoid robots start building themselves, the easiest question to ask ourselves right now is: Am *I* generative?

Am I creating things that add value to the world? Or am I just observing it?

As every procrastinator knows well, there’s a huge gap between being able to generate, and generating.

Don’t let AI be the only generative one in the room.

Alt title: “Survival of the fittest” doesn’t mean what you think it does.

We see it all around us in spaces lovingly referred to as the Manosphere, that many continue to believe that sigma/alpha/beta males and females are a thing.

That victory goes to the strongest. The loudest. The angriest. The one with the fullest beard and most chiseled jawline. The one who downs 16 raw eggs for breakfast then runs up and down Philadelphia. Basically, Rocky meets Gaston from Beauty and the Beast.

But evolution does not necessarily reward such things. Plenty of loud, angry, and exceptionally strong beings are now extinct—beings much stronger and angrier and more aggressive than even our most dominant alpha-bro.

And yet the Grand Canyon remains. Forged by a river quietly doing its unassuming thing for ages.

Darwin saw that evolution didn’t necessarily favor the strongest, but the most adaptable.

We are living in a time of rapid evolution, perhaps the most rapid in the history of our species.

It’s the most adaptable among us that will survive and thrive.

And I know it’s not 1991 anymore, but spoiler alert: Gaston didn’t get the girl.

Yes:

• Creative thought
• Problem solving
• Making each other feel real things
• Better articulating big questions
• Exploring our pale blue dot

‍

No:

• Creating images, exporting images, AirDropping them to our phone, opening them on our phone, pasting them into Instagram, posting a single carousel on Instagram…Where did my morning go!?
• Formatting our ideas to appease different platforms
• Clicking the same combination of buttons over and over again
• Getting repetitive stress disorders from banging away, hunched over at the keys for 12 hours a day

…to pump out generic crap that isn’t yours, passing it off as something you made, because it’s easier.

Or, you can use it to augment who you truly are.

You can use it to free you up to care about the things you’re supposed to care about, or you can use it to be just like everyone else.
