Einstein said that the five levels of cognitive prowess, in ascending order, were: smart, intelligent, brilliant, genius, and simple. AI may surpass us in computational genius, but human mastery lies in finding simplicity.As Packy McCormick notes later in this newsletter, progress is about making once-rare things common. Those who win spot what's becoming a commodity and what will remain precious. While certain human abilities may become commoditized by machines, humans themselves and our essential human qualities (creativity, judgment, empathy…) cannot. This edition explores what remains uniquely human as AI capabilities expand.
First principles: Designing websites for machines is called an API. Humans have a strange habit of liking things that are aesthetic. APIs are much more efficient, so even if agents can bypass them by simulating human clicks etc, their success rate will never be close to 100% (often humans can't even figure it out). As usual, a great newsletter - thanks for publishing.
