When AI Makes Skills Free, What is the Human Edge?
r0ck3t23 · x · 2026-07-18
Drawing on Larry Ellison's remark that "intelligence will become free," the author explores the competitive logic of the AGI era.
- Democratization of Capability: AI will erase the barriers to knowledge acquisition and professional skills (like surgery or engineering), leveling the playing field of human competition previously based on "knowledge scarcity."
- Shift in Competitive Advantage: Once everyone possesses equal depth of thought, the leverage of competition will shift from "knowledge and skills" to "vision, taste, and decision-making."
- Core Moats: What will truly be scarce in the future is the ability to identify problems absent from datasets, the conviction to act decisively without evidence, and the judgment to determine what is actually worth doing.
