That knowledge is the equity their employer pays for. Because the firm values their firsthand understanding of the artifacts, the engineer cannot safely outsource understanding to an AI. The minute they let Codex take risks on delivery or design, their personal equity erodes. + +Owners play a different game. An entrepreneur can let Codex explore risky options because the business, not the person, owns the asset. The owner is rewarded for throughput and speed, not for holding every detail. They can accept solutions they do not fully grasp as long as the system works and customers are served. + +This makes AI upside asymmetric. The salaried contributor sees convenience and faster drafts, but the ceiling is low because trust in the artifacts must stay in their own head. The owner can push risk onto the model, harvest time savings, and keep moving without personally accumulating every detail. + +If you are on salary, AI helps most when it expands your judgment: better questions, sharper reviews, clearer briefs. If you are an owner, AI helps when it absorbs execution and lets you take swings you would not have had time or staff to attempt. Both roles benefit, but only the owner can fully cash in on risk the AI is willing to shoulder. diff --git a/md/Home.md b/md/Home.md index 047fbe0..299bbcf 100644 --- a/md/Home.md +++ b/md/Home.md @@ -24,6 +24,7 @@ Updates | Date | Note | |:-----------|:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| 2025-12-27 | Added [AIAndRisk](./AIAndRisk.md), reflecting on why AI upside favors owners who can offload risk while salaried engineers must retain understanding. | | 2025-12-27 | Added [Coherence](./Coherence.md) on treating Codex like an employee by keeping intent, artifacts, and execution aligned. | | 2025-11-19 | Added [WhoIsGod](./WhoIsGod.md) as the hub linking to the names and covenants reference tables. | | 2025-11-19 | Added [CovenantsOfGod](./CovenantsOfGod.md), summarizing the major biblical covenants and their fulfillment in Christ. | diff --git a/md/Writings.md b/md/Writings.md index f038baf..f7612fe 100644 --- a/md/Writings.md +++ b/md/Writings.md @@ -2,6 +2,7 @@ I keep long-form pieces here when I want to explore a topic beyond a paragraph or status post. +* [AIAndRisk](./AIAndRisk.md) weighs how AI shifts upside toward owners who can offload risk, while salaried engineers must keep understanding in their own heads. * [Coherence](./Coherence.md) explains how I use Codex like an employee by aligning intent, artifacts, and execution. * [WhoIsGod](./WhoIsGod.md) is the entry point for the [Names](./NamesOfGod.md), [Covenant Names](./CovenantNamesOfGod.md), and [Covenant](./CovenantsOfGod.md) tables so readers can find every reference from a single hub. * [OurEmptyPromises](./OurEmptyPromises.md) reflects on the limits of human promises and why certainty only comes from God.
