How this channel uses **agency** In the channel's material, agency means the capacity to act and shape outcomes — and, crucially, a stance you partly choose rather than a condition that is simply granted to you. The concept appears in the discussion of Reid Hoffman's Superagency, where it is framed as partly an internal stance rather than just external conditions [^2030c8bf@0]. Why it matters for preparing for AGI Hoffman's argument treats agency as a resource to be exercised while AI spreads: engage seriously with AI now, plan with a flexible compass instead of a rigid blueprint, and expect jobs to transform rather than simply vanish. In that framing, agency is what lets a person steer through the transition instead of waiting for it to happen. Agency in context of work The related topic on AI, jobs, and the future of work builds on the same idea: as agents automate parts of expertise, the people who stay employable are those who actively explore what agents can and cannot do alone — the practical expression of agency in the age of agents. - Agency = the capacity to act and shape outcomes, partly an internal stance you choose.- Hoffman's Superagency frames it as internal, not just a matter of external conditions.- Exercising agency means engaging with AI now, using a compass over a blueprint, and preparing for jobs that transform rather than disappear.
