Episode notes
Choose Teammates Who Amplify Your Edge
- AI makes solo work vastly more powerful, so teams shrink and selection changes from labor to amplification.
- Choose teammates who amplify your edge or whose company you genuinely enjoy, not merely replaceable labor.

- Human skills will either be automated away, become art, or become sport as AI advances.

- Expect slow shifts: jobs become more trade-like and interpersonal value grows.
