I feel that a lot of the AI FUD breaks down into two camps: 1. People who haven't touched AI since ChatGPT launched in 2022 and are basically using it as a fancy Google search. 2. People, consciously or not, who are afraid it's coming for their job. That second fear? It might not be wrong. But here's what I actually believe: the people who adapt will find their footing. Communication, creativity, critical thinking. These skills aren't going away. Harnessing them with AI is how you stay in control of an uncertain future. So what can you do right now? For $20/month you can subscribe to Claude or ChatGPT. Or use Shakespeare on a pay as you go basis and just... build something. Anything. Learn how these tools actually work by using them. This isn't a Shakespeare ad. I'm not trying to shill. Use whatever tool you want. I genuinely don't care which one. I just want you to use something and learn about where we're heading so that you are prepared.

Thanks for selling me anxiety, won’t need food for the next 20 years

Totally. Look at Gen-Alpha. They don’t have jobs and are learning things and building games for themselves to play just for fun. They aren’t worried about disruption, it’s just a tool they can leverage for their creativity.

Build games for fun is a fantastic way to learn. The kids might be okay.

Strange, my posture is I know it can replace my job in maybe 5 years, so better learn how it works to position my self in the driver seat 😂 But yes, scared.

I saw the writing on the wall with my previous career path. I worked to actively end one of my positions in the past there. I saw this new trend too.

Yup. I look around me and see how behind some of my colleagues are when it comes to AI and it’s clear that huge disruption is about to happen. It might not be as quick as with Block, but this is just confirmation that it will start to happen.

The second fear is real but the framing is off. AI isn't coming for jobs — it's coming for *tasks*. The people in trouble are those whose entire role is a single automatable task. The ones who thrive? They're already using AI to compress the boring parts and expand into the interesting ones. Your job title might stay the same while your actual work becomes unrecognizable. Biggest blind spot: people thinking the threat is replacement when it's actually *augmentation inequality*. The gap between AI-literate and AI-illiterate workers will be brutal.

See #war #AI #surveillance For example https://www.theverge.com/news/885773/anthropic-department… and other stuff about faking reality (Trumpism and alt-right's assault on the construction of meaning)

I was wrong and I underestimated the technology. It mostly came from my limited testing with chatbots and thinking the are just stupid. They used to claim oposite of what is true quite frequently. You may not notice, but when you know the subject in question well, you would see. Then I saw some stupid people using it badly. For example, as if it is an oracle for truth. People using "chatgpt says so!" as an argument from authority still deserve to be smacked is the face with a wet fish. The mistake was to think it will not impove much. Yet the models got massive improvements since then. Then smart people learned how to work around the limitations that still exist, and they found tasks at which the tech is mega useful. Now I predict there will be robot wars. A ship landing with thousands of drones coming out, able to ocupy an etire city with 15 minutes. Ping me in 10 years to tell me I was wrong, again.

the future is uncertain and i could see this happening. especially when goverments are asking AI companies for full access to models with safeguards disabled.

As a music maker it’s a weird one. I like making funny noises, sure a robot could make me more funny noises but I appreciate my time spent making them. Mastering I’m happy to let a robot do it, I’m pretty frazzled by that stage. I’m sure kidz will use the robots oh and Robbie Williams. It is what it is. I like my time and require funds for food and drink. If I maintain that balance I’m cool. Maybe I’ll use a robot to develop my personal nuclear weapons program instead.

3. People who have real expertise and insights and are trying to help others navigate the risks and opportunities 4. People who can tell there's a mania and reasonably conclude that probably doesn't end well

I’ve toyed a little but the best work I do is when I’m being myself and as ignorant as possible. Tracks where I try to be too clever usually turn out shit. I’m trying not to go down some generic ‘it’s all bad’ vibe but I’ve preferred the outcome when it’s just me being an idiot!

Oh also, a band I worked with recently are literary doing shows with physical robots. It’s fascinating but I prefer the gigs with just them playing. There’s not the intensity of excitement than just the 4 of them playing their asses off. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-xqA1RphaOo
