The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....
I have this unusual take on AI and the future of work:
Knowing "what to do" is more important than knowing "how to do".
AI is basically solving all the "how tos"
But the "what to do" seems almost impossible for AI, because in most cases it's something that has never been done before (kinda the opposite of "how": smth that has been done a million times before and been present in the training dataset)
It gets even trickier if you add "why?" into this. Because the "why" creates the demand. It's the key pillar of any marketing/brand.
So the big picture here is no different from the past. AI will simply add an abstraction laywer on top of the jobs. E.g. when you use the calculator, you dont have to know "how to multiply", you only care about "why and what" and the calculator handles the "how".
The software 3.0 will abstract the "hows" away and leave you the "why and what".
Until AI is capable of solving the "why" or at least the "what", humans are safe.
However, if your job is about "hows", I would move up to the "what" area asap.
Balaji Srinivasan on the coming verification gap in an AI world.
“AI is going to create massive numbers of jobs in proctoring and verification because it’s so good at faking things.”
“AI makes everything fake, and crypto makes it real again.”

It's insane.
After setting parliament on fire and overthrowing the government, Gen Z elects Nepal interim Prime Minister via Discord vote.
Which part of the cycle is that?
