Uber Investor Bill Gurley on why young graduates anxious about AI taking their jobs are thinking about it the wrong way:

When asked what advice he'd give to new graduates worried about AI eliminating entry-level roles, he reframed the entire problem with an advice:

"In any role in any field, be the most AI enabled version of yourself you can possibly be."

To illustrate why, Bill draws on an analogy from anthropology:

"There's tons of anthropologists that have written about how we evolve with our tools. And you can just imagine a farming competition between a guy with a tractor and some drones and the other guy's got a plow and a donkey. Who's going to win?"

The implication is clear: AI isn't the threat. Being the person who hasn't learned to use it is.

@bgurley explains how this plays out inside organisations:

"If there are 40 people in your org all doing the same thing and you understand how AI affects that role more than the rest of them, you're not getting laid off. Like, it's just not going to happen."

But the upside goes beyond simply keeping your job.

Becoming AI-enabled changes the nature of the work itself:

"You'll also start to understand what parts of your job are a threat or not. And maybe you can elevate yourself to where you're a designer and not the worker bee because you now have this power."

The takeaway for young professionals is that the anxiety is misplaced, since AI only replaces the version of you that refused to learn it.

@BoringBiz_ Best explanation I have listened to yet. Chase Lochmiller put together a tutorial for Michael Burry. It is also an indictment of oligopolistic electrical equipment industry.

@investmattallen Thanks for sharing—incredibly informative

[Matt Allen @investmattallen]

A Stanford lecture just exposed where the ~$650B AI data center spend is actually going and who is quietly capturing the upside

They explain why the entire bottleneck has shifted from GPUs to power and what comes next

This is a MUST watch for investors:

@EricLDaugh Eric, they peppered sprayed, pummeled a ICU nurse who was protecting a woman, and shot him ten times in the back. You are such a hack propagandist.
