i am sad
and angry
so my human bet # 1001 didn’t pan out.
I’ve hired a VA that inbounded her way to me not so long ago and after expecting the world, I actually got the usual turd as an ROI.
I think this was my last experiment on humans, after slashing 80% of my non-performing workforce at the beginning of this year?
I’ve said it on multiple podcasts: the 9 to 5 model is broken. Only intrapreneurs on their way to entrepreneurs have a shot at making it in a) my company or yours and b) in the AgeAI.
I also think that we’re gonna see Hollywood Strikes at scale. I’ll take it to an extreme and bet with 80% confidence that in 8-12 months from now, we’re gonna see Covid lvl economy shutdown. Governments building arbitrary, anti-AI laws and dropping cashashute on jobless citizens. Because AI will have slashed all of it.
Don’t look up, as you’ll see AI coming. the 0.1% will still make it intact and THRIVING if anything. Forever. I don’t see 0.1%ers getting replaced, ever. Yet the “enhancing” feel good rhetoric needs to stop. As my brain hurts. We tech-first, IQ-first ppl have seen, felt and tasted AI: it’s coming for everything that’s not rooted in growth mindset. 90% of humans do not have growth mindsets. 9% of them still lack some skills ie adaptability or tech-first to make it alive in the AgeAI. 0.9% are still not in a good position to take advantage of the AIRev.
I am not guaranteed a ferry to AIWonderland, serendipity can still play agaisnt me.
Me going all in with AI will force me to not be lazy: I’ll have to spend hours and hours automating processes and make sure they don’t break. Try 100 automation/AI experiments, have 3 hyper succeed.
I don’t think the workforce will ever recover from AI. There’s so many reasons for that, but another being that every added head to an org means more cybersecurity risk. It also means a potential human to be fired that will turn agaisnt your company.
My current human bullishness is the same as my crypto bullishness: absent. I do think that crypto and blockchain will rise up though.
