There's a big presentation you give in a room about some sort of topic, and people grill you about it, and you're judged based on that.
It may literally be like the kinds of tests that you do for certification in the US for insurance certification or CPA certification, where you have to take some sort of professional test.
It might be carving out the kind of thing we talked about before.
We're incentivizing people to have some non-AI time, and we're judging them based on the quality of their non-AI time rather than AI output.
There's a general problem, which is if we incentivize productivity as the only goal, we end up in a really bad place with AI quite quickly.
So this is back to the organizational design problem.
If you incentivize productivity, you are incentivizing work slop.
You don't want 100 times more PowerPoint.
That's what productivity looks like.
Let's just do more of the thing.
Even in coding, we're having this big problem right now.
Agile was a technique developed, I think, in 2002.
And it's a lot of how software development works.
It's not waterfall-based.
Everyone's doing this.
And now you have this element of the Agile experience that is 100 times or 10 times more productive.
What do you do with that?
Unless you change every other part of the process, you don't gain out of having somebody stand up in every agile meeting and say, Claude did my work today.
It'll do my work tomorrow.
No blockers and sit down.
