Technology does not change habits of mind; it amplifies existing ones.

If you use AI to write without reframing what you write, you will produce more, weaker words.

If you use AI to supercharge productivity without looking at economies of attention or time, you will inevitably bankrupt both.

The only supercharge we can expect to happen in our career is intrinsic to our practice (the ways we think). Anything external will be limited by mental models, communication, and the ability to protect abstract (/creative) ideas before they’re clear.
