Dan explores the advantages of being a generalist in the age of AI. While language models excel in specialized domains with clear patterns, generalists thrive in 'wicked' environments requiring adaptability and unique problem-solving. Their diverse knowledge allows them to combine insights across fields. Historically, Athens valued well-rounded citizens before complexity led to specialization. However, AI could enable a return to that generalist ideal by augmenting human capabilities across domains. The future belongs to those who know which questions to ask - the core strength of generalists.
