Episode #79: Networking Is Mostly Cope, AI Is Changing What Skills Matter, CEO AI Psychosis
This week on The Learning Corner, we open with an argument on why traditional networking culture is mostly negative selection and why broadcasting your work publicly is the stronger play. We then dig into why AI is making the "what" of your work more important than the "how," and which skills actually become load-bearing in that world. We close on a sobering piece about AI psychosis spreading through executive suites, the sycophancy loop baked into AI tools, and what it means when the feeling of running a massive organization is completely disconnected from what is actually shipping.
Key Points
- Networking on platforms like X can be more effective than traditional in-person events, but it's crucial to choose the right platform for your audience.
- In a world where building is cheap, the skills of taste, judgment, and planning become far more valuable than ever before.
- The allure of AI and agent workflows can create a false sense of productivity, making it essential to measure actual output and define clear objectives.
