The main problem I have with AGI being defined as "an agent roughly as capable as a human" is that the spectrum of human capability is MASSIVE. Anyone aware of any efforts to narrow this down a smidge, or is it really as ill defined as portrayed in pop media coverage?

Tbh I'm not fond of the term "leader" bc it implies the existence of "followers". I prefer thinking about it in terms of agency and ownership, or autonomy and giving a shit. I've often jokingly said I owe my career to a lifelong overdeveloped sense of ownership.

My point here was not that "building orgs is easy." 🤔 My point was that putting all the emphasis on hiring brilliant individuals, and relying on individual acts of heroism to get shit done, lets leaders off the hook for the real hard work of *leadership*.

Just imagine what happens when you get a few above average engineers, who get to become force multipliers (mentors, improvers, exciters), instead of burning out trying to bridge the gaps in your systems.
