Agency may matter more than intelligence — but it’s downstream of capacity.
Most “low-agency” behavior isn’t laziness or passivity; it’s nervous-system overload or low tolerance for consequence.
Intelligence is cheap now. You don’t train agency directly. Expand capacity, and agency appears.
I agree there’s no intrinsic “you.”
But in practice, referring to “you” is often the most helpful abstraction when the goal isn’t opinions, but structured reflection.
The “you” isn’t an entity — it’s a stabilized interaction model shaped by user correction and expectation in-loop.
Many companies want to hire AI-literate talent — but few know how to assess it quickly and meaningfully.
Here’s a simple way to evaluate someone’s ChatGPT proficiency and overall AI fluency:
📌 Ask them to drop this prompt into GPT and share the output thread in their application:
“Generate a presentable scorecard for me summarizing my ChatGPT proficiency against the general userbase percentile across:
– Depth of Prompting Strategy
– Breadth of Use Cases
– Self-Awareness & Iteration
– Tool Usage (files, roles, voices)
– AI Fluency (LLMs, agents, GenAI)
Include a confidence rating for each estimation.”
This takes less than a minute — and often reveals more about someone’s real-world AI capability than an hour-long interview likely could.
Here’s the scorecard it generated for me — feel free to use the format, share it, or make it better 🙌
@DaveShapi I believe what they are referring to is that at the most fundamental level there is choice to have that experience as opposed to not existing.
@DaveShapi Your thesis aligns with my mental model. Insistence on locally optimized (egoic / contracted) goals appears to be psychologically opposed to the capacity for "global" perception.
@eurenatacofc@Complex@etnow Of course, he is making her do it, and she chooses to comply because she knows and trusts that he cares about her and sees her beauty. Viewed through that prism, she is sacrificing herself for his vision, which requires true inspiration - the point that is demonstrated.
🎄 In the spirit of Christmas, I’ve made a short video on forgiveness and its importance deepening our connections.
The holidays are a perfect time to reflect on the kind of relationships we want in our life.

Incredibly important challenge, which should be addressed without caving into the authoritarian agendas that are aiming to silence free speech under the guise of humanitarian aims.
