Ambitious people follow incentives laid out for them. But if the incentives are bad, the outcome of many people following them is worse for everyone. Are we wise enough to know the difference between good and bad incentives? If not, should we seek to climb the incentives we are given? Sometimes it's better not to follow incentives. Even "Move fast and break things" was retired.
Ambition has also developed a distasteful correlation to sleazy behaviour. When you define adversarial conditions as anything that seeks to stop you, it's ambitious to do so "by any means necessary". Even if those means are scam-y, deceitful, and generally anti-social. Semantically in opposition to empathy, in my experience people who self describe as ambitious are more likely to competitive, less likely to meet compromise, and generally be more transactional.
By no means is this a total denouncement of everything that encompasses Ambition.
Seek excellence. Take calculated risks. Aim to grow as a human.
Do so with empathy, and understanding of externalities. Be willing to collaborate. Try and determine if the incentives are effective for Civilizational purposes
