This is such a sharp distillation of what makes generalists uniquely suited for the AI era.

I've always tried to frame my own path like this: not about being “anti-specialist,” but about stacking skills, zooming out, and staying responsive to complexity. In a world of narrow models and fixed roles, curiosity and cross-functionality are superpowers.

Stay wide, stay weird, stay useful!

Some education systems also try to specialise you, but having a wider pool of knowledge will help us more in the long run.

Yeap. A lot of systems are still stuck in the old ways. The motivation to learn and generalized is largely up to you.

I like the practical advice for staying adaptable!

Jobs, Roles, You, Me - we're all products now. Start automating yourselves and finding new forms of value that you can spin up for your counterparties/colleagues .... 🤝
