Episode #79: Networking Is Mostly Cope, AI Is Changing What Skills Matter, CEO AI Psychosis
About this episode
The episode discusses the drawbacks of traditional networking, the evolving importance of skills in the age of AI, and the phenomenon of AI psychosis among executives.
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.
