"100 points isn't enough" — A story from childhood about wanting to make the grader give me 120 points

In April, looking toward a new start.
This is an introduction to the person behind the "Recipe for Success."

The video by Piero, a resident of r, really hit home, so I'm sharing it. I want to make the content such that if you read the articles starting from April, you can grow exponentially through a self-reinforcing loop.

I loved thinking about "what lies beyond" a perfect score

Ever since I was a child, I loved mastering things.

However, it might have been a little different from the norm.

I wasn't really interested in just getting 100 points in my favorite subjects.
More than that,no matter how many people got a perfect score, I loved thinking about how to make the grader think, 'This answer is exceptional' among them—I loved thinking about that more than anything.

This personality trait didn't change even after I became an adult.

After digging into the same field for 15 years, I became the "most knowledgeable person"

At the company, I was in charge of the same technical field for over 15 years.

Before I knew it, I had become the most knowledgeable person in the company regarding that field.
Thankfully, I still get questions even after I'm no longer in charge.
I am a completespecialist.

General knowledge can be left to AI and highly educated people.
But,in my outstanding area of expertise, I have built a position where people say, 'I have to ask this person.' That is my current standing.

There are certainly areas that cannot be replaced by AI

The field I am in charge of has quite a lot of confidential information.

In other words,knowledge that does not exist in AI training data.

For these areas to be replaced by AI, gadgets that can easily and automatically collect specialized knowledge from local environments must be invented, they must be inexpensive to introduce, and more DX personnel who can utilize that data to create training data must be trained. The reality is that if these conditions aren't met, the cost-effectiveness is too poor for AI adoption to progress.

People who possess "things AI cannot do" will become even more valuable from now on.
I truly feel that.

My hobby is discovering "insane super plays in games"

Let me also talk about my hobbies.

I love watching superplay videos of games.
I think it's the best hobby because it doesn't cost money and you can experience pure excitement.

However, what I'm looking for isn't the famous stuff you'd get if you asked an AI like the ones below.

Insane gameplay videos that make you involuntarily exclaim, "How can you go that far in this game?"

Digging up maniacal videos like the ones below with my own eyes, which you wouldn't even be suggested if you asked an AI. That is what's most fun.

The "standard of effort" I learned from superplays

When you watch a lot of these videos, a certain feeling starts to sprout.

In any field, when you see someone pushing to the absolute limit, you realize that your own effort is still not enough. Although this is about games, I feel thatraising the "standard of effort" for work and learningis a hidden benefit of superplay videos.

I used to be on the player side

Actually, I wasn't on the watching side in the past, I wason the doing side.

When Suika Game was popular, I reached number one in the daily rankings, and there was a time when I was a ranker in maniacal games.

However, the spending on microtransactions and time was intense, I got more haters and was exposed on bulletin boards, and I even got glaucoma from playing too much... Now I restrain myself and have settled into being a professional watcher.

What I realized when I met a PhD student from the University of Tokyo in a guild

It happened when I belonged to a top guild in a certain strategy game.

"This person is capable. I definitely don't want to have them as an enemy."

There was someone I felt that way about. When I asked what they usually do, they said they were enrolled ina doctoral program at the University of Tokyo.

Even someone with such high academic credentials was playing a maniacal game for 20 hours a day on weekends. It was a shock.

But at the same time, I realized something.

No matter how excellent a person is, there are things they are good at and things they are not good at.

Find the areas where others struggle and do those parts for them.
With just that, I stopped having trouble with human relationships.

About the "recipe for success" from here on out

Starting in April, on this note, I would like to write articles that dig deep into a single theme and master it.

Not "wide and shallow," but "narrow and deep."

Instead of aiming for 100 points, I will search for what lies beyond 100 points.

With that same attitude I've held since I was a child, I will deliver information that is truly valuable to those who read my work.

I would be happy if you followed me and joined me on this journey of digging deeper.
