Felix Rieseberg, an engineering lead on Claude at Anthropic, published a tutorial on how to actually follow the advice of 'being more ambitious' with AI. He frames ambition in four types: Speed (same work in less time — AI's established economic baseline), Altitude (abstracting up to outcomes rather than individual tasks), Depth (approaching a task the way a field-leading expert would, touching underlying data and tools), and Range (drawing on multiple fields beyond what the task surface requires). The tutorial focuses on cultivating the latter three.
