How to be more ambitious: A tutorial for humans with models

Rieseberg's tutorial reads as ambition advice, but every example that worked rested on a verifier. The crash-free app workflow needed crash-report access, version-to-commit mapping, and Windows, macOS and Linux machines to reproduce bugs, and his fourth prompt question asks what other than you or the model shows the result is right.

AI Is Cannibalizing Human Intelligence (Vivienne Ming, WSJ)

Ming's Polymarket experiment splits human-AI usage into three measurable patterns: oracle (use the answer), validator (use AI to confirm priors), cyborg (use AI as sparring partner). Validators perform worse than AI alone — sycophancy laundered as evidence — while the 5-10% of cyborgs match or beat prediction-market consensus. The unbuilt premium category is AI that disagrees with you on purpose; today's benchmarks measure what AI does alone, not whether the product is building human capacity or consuming it.
