David sent an important email last week that a machine wrote, read it, changed nothing, and sent it — one of three handovers that look, on their face, like exactly the surrenders the worriers warn about. None of them were. Taking Rahim Hirji's new book SuperSkills as a generous foil, he argues most AI handovers are good bargains, not a thousand small surrenders dressed as convenience: the machine takes the middle while the parts that decide the outcome climb a level to you — what to ask, whether it's good enough, whether you'll own it. The floor isn't to check every word but to own it to your own standard, and to save your deepest effort for the few tasks where being great beats being good. Never be careless, always be good, sometimes be great. Plus three things worth knowing, three things to try, and what readers said.
