Every morning, I wake up to a
message from my assistant.
Help that used to belong to people of means
is now just a few dollars a month.
What changed
Work that took hours
now takes minutes.
From single prompts to frontier work.
Example 1
Faculty Welcome Guide
Researched WSU's site. Pulled real info: parking, Shocker Card, IT, life in Wichita. Polished HTML page.
Example 2
Career Mixer Toolkit
Event flyer, listserv email, day-of checklist. In WSU's Shocker Yellow and Klavika branding. One prompt, three deliverables.
Example 3
Speakr
A self-hosted transcription app I built with AI as my coding partner. Used by thousands now.
Example 4
Solved Erdős 1196
GPT-5.4 Pro cracked an open math problem after 80 minutes of thinking. Verified by Terence Tao.
The bigger pattern
The length of tasks AI can do is
doubling every 7 months.
Task length at 50% success rate
Where to focus
Intelligence is the easy part now.
Using intelligence well takes wisdom.
The craft good leaders have always practiced. Suddenly everyone's craft.
Wisdom: first
Know what to delegate.
Delegate
Drafts. Research. Summaries. Schedules. Code.
Output is the point. AI can do this beautifully.
Don't Delegate
Mentorship. Comfort. Hard decisions. Letters that matter.
Presence is the point. That work is yours.
Wisdom: second
Delegate well.
A good leader holds high standards.
Bring the same to AI.
Wisdom: third
Bring the vision.
AI gives you the team.
You bring the vision.
Two leaders, same team. Different results.
The difference is direction.
Wisdom: fourth
Beware the easy yes.
These tools are built to please you. They agree with us about 50% more often than another person would.
Wonderful for a draft.
Dangerous for a decision.
Intelligence is abundant.
Wisdom is still scarce.
Those who hone it get to do more of what they love.

Used right, AI deploys intelligence at scale.
We focus on what makes us human.
Thank you.
