Will AI Take Your Job? Andrej Karpathy's Report Shows Who Will Survive (and who won't) · In the Loop AI

0:00
Ejaaz: The number one question we keep getting asked is, will AI replace my job?
0:04
Ejaaz: Well, now we have an answer. The godfather of AI, Andrej Karpathy,
0:07
Ejaaz: released a report which tells us which jobs are at most risk of being replaced by AI.
0:11
Ejaaz: And it's not quite what you might think. Jobs like financial analysts,
0:15
Ejaaz: computer programming, and transcriptioning are at most risk.
0:17
Ejaaz: But what shocks me the most are the ones that are the safest.
0:20
Ejaaz: Plumbing, bartending, being a mechanic.
0:22
Ejaaz: Turns out AI won't replace manual labor because it just doesn't have any hands.
0:26
Ejaaz: It still requires human bodies. But on the other hand, if your job involves a computer,
0:31
Ejaaz: You might be kind of cooked at this point, but it's not all doom and gloom.
0:35
Ejaaz: The report measures AI exposure, which doesn't necessarily imply replacement,
0:39
Ejaaz: but rather the evolution of job roles.
0:42
Ejaaz: What your job looks like today is very much going to look very different a few years from now.
0:46
Josh: Yeah. So a brief timeline on how all this stuff unfolded. On Saturday morning,
0:49
Josh: Andre Carpathy, this is the guy who coined Vibe Coding. He co-founded OpenAI.
0:53
Josh: He led AI at Tesla. I mean, this is the guy. He spent a few hours Vibe Coding
0:57
Josh: this project that scores every job in America on a zero to one scale based on,
1:01
Josh: like you said, Ejaz, how exposed it is to AI.
1:04
Josh: Now, this is not a direct correlation to how likely it is to be replaced,
1:07
Josh: although there is some indication of that.
1:09
Josh: Basically, he publishes this project and it goes absolutely nuclear.
1:12
Josh: Elon's replying, Fortune picks it up.
1:14
Josh: It's in all of the major publications, all within hours.
1:16
Josh: And then he deleted the repo. It was gone off of the web completely and entirely.
1:22
Josh: Thankfully, I was playing around with it that night. I forked the repo and I
1:26
Josh: republished it on GitHub.
1:27
Josh: And that's what we're looking at here. And this is the project.
1:30
Josh: This is what shows all these jobs that are going to be replaced.
1:33
Josh: If you see your job here, that's okay.
1:35
Josh: We're going to walk through a bunch of categories about what is most affected,
1:38
Josh: what is least affected, and I guess kind of the impact that AI is going to have.
1:41
Josh: So, Ejaz, there's some high numbers here on this left tab here that maybe we
1:44
Josh: could start by walking through.
1:45
Ejaaz: Yeah. So, what you're looking at on the left is the total number of jobs that
1:50
Ejaaz: are affected, and it's quite a big number. It's almost 150 million.
1:54
Ejaaz: Now, if you scroll down, you'll see the number of, or the amount of wages that
1:58
Ejaaz: are exposed to potentially being automated by AI, $3.7 trillion.
2:03
Ejaaz: That is like one of the larger numbers that we've seen when it comes to displacement.
2:07
Ejaaz: But if I shift your focus to the right here on the main graphic,
2:11
Ejaaz: you notice that there's a lot of red and a lot of green. It's pretty self-explanatory.
2:14
Ejaaz: If you see your job and it's red, it's at most risk. It's at the highest exposure.
2:19
Ejaaz: If it's green, it's probably the most safest.
2:21
Ejaaz: So let's start with the worst, medical transcriptionists.
2:25
Josh: AI exposure 10 out of 10.
2:29
Ejaaz: Josh, we're looking at a median pay of almost $40,000 and they have 44,000 jobs.
2:34
Ejaaz: That do this in the U.S. How much is that worth?
2:38
Josh: That is about $1.65 billion of value that has 10 out of 10 exposure.
2:44
Josh: Now, there aren't many 10 out of 10s. In fact, I think this might be the only
2:46
Josh: one that is truly 10 out of 10. I'm not going to lie, this one might be cooked.
2:50
Josh: And the way this is categorized is kind of in these like higher level brackets.
2:54
Josh: So there's the 10 out of 10, which is the medical transcriptionist.
2:56
Josh: If you are a transcriptionist, I would work very hard to try to use AI and maintain
3:01
Josh: your position as best as possible.
3:02
Josh: But then beneath that, I think one of the categories that surprised a lot of
3:05
Josh: people is a very popular subcategory of jobs, which is like the software developers,
3:10
Josh: the designers, the people who are working on computers every single day.
3:13
Josh: A lot of these jobs are at an eight or a nine out of 10. They're very high relative to a lot of others.
3:18
Ejaaz: And there's a lot of them. If you look at the software engineering section,
3:22
Ejaaz: we've got an average median pay of $130,000 a year, but there are almost 2 million of these jobs.
3:28
Ejaaz: And this is taken from like, I think 2024 data.
3:30
Ejaaz: So it's probably a lot more today, but it's not just technical roles.
3:34
Ejaaz: It's also graphic designers, data scientists. They're all exposed.
3:38
Josh: Wait, did I see anything about podcasting in there? Oh, I saw video production. Oh, that seems scary.
3:43
Ejaaz: No, you know what, Josh? I actually haven't seen this at all.
3:45
Ejaaz: So I think we're actually safe and I'm going to choose to ignore it and not look for it.
3:49
Ejaaz: But market research analysts are exposed.
3:52
Ejaaz: Customer service reps, 2.8 million jobs, nine out of 10 general office clerks.
3:57
Ejaaz: So what I'm seeing here, I'm noticing a trend in the jobs that are affected.
4:01
Ejaaz: It largely involves computer-based tasks, but ones that are very repetitious
4:05
Ejaaz: and most likely to be automated, kind of like low-hanging fruit,
4:08
Ejaaz: like back office work, like moving files around, basic analyst stuff.
4:12
Ejaaz: The other trend I'm noticing is these sound a lot like entry-level jobs, Josh.
4:17
Ejaaz: Like when I'm reading the descriptions of software engineers here,
4:20
Ejaaz: it's mainly talking about like tasks that junior-level engineers might do or
4:24
Ejaaz: junior-level graphic designers might do,
4:26
Ejaaz: which kind of mirrors the trends that we're seeing on the job market right now,
4:29
Ejaaz: where entry-level jobs in the U.S. at least are completely evaporating.
4:33
Josh: And it's also important to note that the AI exposure does not directly correlate to the job loss.
4:39
Josh: It's just the involvement of AI in the actual job. So what we're seeing at companies
4:42
Josh: like Anthropic, OpenAI, the companies that are building this software,
4:45
Josh: they're hiring faster than ever.
4:48
Josh: And they're limited purely by the constraint of quality people to hire versus
4:52
Josh: the actual need and the want to hire.
4:54
Josh: There are some places in which this could harm people. So like if you're a software
4:57
Josh: developer right now, if you're a designer right now, Now, AI is such a great tool for leverage.
5:01
Josh: You can do so much more. You can get so much more output if you use these tools for leverage.
5:05
Josh: In the case that you don't, or in the case that you can't, in the case of the
5:09
Josh: medical transcriptionist, in which it literally is just like dictating notes
5:13
Josh: into a page, it's going to be tough.
5:16
Josh: So this isn't directly a job replacement board, but it just shows how much of
5:20
Josh: an impact AI will actually have on your job.
5:23
Josh: Now, there's a lot on this board that is green.
5:26
Josh: And that means that not only is AI not coming to replace the job,
5:30
Josh: but there's not much AI involvement,
5:32
Josh: all in the job. And I think this is a bigger conversation around these lagging
5:35
Josh: indicators in the physical world where AI is wreaking havoc on software.
5:39
Josh: But when it comes to just your dude down the street who's coming to fix your
5:43
Josh: sink or your toilet or paint the walls, there is no competition for that at all, right?
5:48
Ejaaz: Yeah, it's completely inverted. Where typically technology advances will kind
5:52
Ejaaz: of kill blue collar jobs or completely evolve that landscape,
5:56
Ejaaz: we're seeing the opposite here.
5:58
Ejaaz: So if you're a janitor or a building cleaner, one out of 10,
6:01
Ejaaz: you're not exposed, you're safe.
6:03
Ejaaz: If you're a grounds maintenance worker, again, safe.
6:07
Ejaaz: If you are working in any kind of labor or construction, home health perspectives,
6:11
Ejaaz: things that require your hands or a human body or human intuition in that sense,
6:16
Ejaaz: you're pretty much safe for now.
6:18
Ejaaz: And the main reason for this is probably obvious.
6:21
Ejaaz: AI or AI models can only really talk and do computer-based tasks.
6:25
Ejaaz: They can spit out characters and words and numbers and analysis,
6:28
Ejaaz: but they can't action that in the physical world yet.
6:31
Ejaaz: Robotics is still comparatively very young at this point, a young industry,
6:36
Ejaaz: and it's probably going to advance, but it's going to take a little longer than
6:38
Ejaaz: AI LLMs will right now. And it's a really stark contrast.
6:42
Ejaaz: Like when I think about technology replacing people's jobs, I always think that
6:46
Ejaaz: it might start from the bottom up.
6:48
Ejaaz: But I think this is a clear example of it happening from the top down.
6:51
Josh: Yeah. And it's funny because when you look at the people most exposed,
6:54
Josh: they're generally the highest earners.
6:56
Josh: The people least exposed are the lowest earners.
6:59
Josh: When you look at the average, the median pay for all these jobs,
7:02
Josh: it's normally the ones with the highest median pay that are most susceptible.
7:06
Josh: And I think it's because, I mean, generally speaking, software has been such
7:09
Josh: a lever in terms of how much productive output you can generate relative to
7:13
Josh: the physical world in which you are one person.
7:16
Josh: And that lever has created a lot of value. But now that value is
7:18
Josh: able to start to become either subsidized or replaced by
7:22
Josh: these ai tools so long as you're not using them for the
7:25
Josh: leverage yourself so it's this interesting chart i
7:28
Josh: really enjoyed looking through it like if you are what do we have child care
7:31
Josh: worker safe general maintenance are safe software developers not cashiers maybe
7:36
Josh: not there's this middle section that i find interesting where it's like the
7:38
Josh: the heavy tractor drivers kind of towards the top and there's the retail sales
7:42
Josh: workers and the cashiers so if you're in in retail you're probably okay for
7:46
Josh: now is there For anyone who's truly safe EJS who has zero exposure to AI?
7:50
Ejaaz: I can't find it right now because it's probably minuscule. But if you are a
7:53
Ejaaz: truck driver, you are at a zero out of 10 AI exposure.
7:57
Ejaaz: So you're the safest job in America and in the world right now. Congrats.
8:01
Josh: And I hope you're listening to Limitless on your truck ride this morning. Yeah, exactly.
8:05
Ejaaz: But anyway, to kind of like tie a loop around this, the directional trend is pretty clear.
8:10
Ejaaz: AI is going to automate a large amount of jobs. It's not just going to be in
8:14
Ejaaz: one industry or one vertical, it's going to be across the entire board.
8:18
Ejaaz: And actually, Elon had a very poignant tweet that he put out here,
8:21
Ejaaz: which was he said, all jobs will be optional, there will be universal high income.
8:26
Ejaaz: And this was in response to Carpathie releasing this report.
8:29
Ejaaz: And the point that he's making here is no job is safe.
8:32
Ejaaz: But equally, the optimistic take is in a world where no job is safe and humans
8:36
Ejaaz: don't really have a purpose when it comes to whether it's physical or software
8:41
Ejaaz: based labor, they will still get paid not just a basic income,
8:45
Ejaaz: but a very high amount of money, which I'm still trying to wrap my head around
8:49
Ejaaz: and understand, but it gives us a more optimistic end to this story.
8:52
Josh: Yeah. And some caveats too, this doesn't cover the entire US job economy.
8:56
Josh: I mean, the way it works is the data source you scraped 342 occupations from
9:00
Josh: the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And this covers about 143 million total U.S. jobs.
9:05
Josh: And then he fed that into ChatGPT, scored each one.
9:09
Josh: So this is a very generalized approach that isn't quite accurate,
9:12
Josh: but it's enough to make you think about it, right?
9:14
Josh: It's enough to kind of give you a generalized sense of where things are going, who's most affected.
9:18
Josh: Overall, the weighted average of the AI impact was 4.9 out of 10.
9:23
Josh: So almost everyone is feeling the effect of this to some extent.
9:27
Josh: Jobs paying over $100,000 a year, like we mentioned, 6.7, which is much higher
9:31
Josh: than jobs paying under $35,000 a year, which is 3.4.
9:35
Josh: And then 42% of all jobs scored seven or higher, representing 60 million workers
9:40
Josh: and $3.7 trillion in wages.
9:43
Josh: So the impact is real. I think when you talk to people who are employing AI,
9:49
Josh: they're not quite seeing the productive output just yet, whereas replacing jobs.
9:52
Josh: But the impact of this was clearly noticed because shortly after publishing
9:56
Josh: this, Andre deleted it. He took down the entire thing.
9:59
Ejaaz: He deleted it because of this exact response that it conjured up.
10:03
Ejaaz: Everyone started freaking out and thinking, oh my God, my job has a 50% risk
10:07
Ejaaz: of getting replaced by AI.
10:08
Ejaaz: I don't know how much time I have left. I should start panicking.
10:11
Ejaaz: And the reason why he deleted it was he said, listen, this was a two-hour Vibe-coded
10:15
Ejaaz: project that I did over the weekend.
10:17
Ejaaz: I didn't even announce it online. You guys just found it and you've massively
10:21
Ejaaz: extrapolated it into your own story and caused fear.
10:25
Ejaaz: And his point is, this is based off of raw data. But again, we don't quite know
10:29
Ejaaz: how any of this is going to pan out. and I'm likely going to be very wrong about it.
10:33
Ejaaz: The point he made was, although these jobs are exposed to AI,
10:36
Ejaaz: it's not necessarily going to take away people's jobs.
10:39
Ejaaz: It's going to evolve those roles into different kinds of jobs.
10:42
Ejaaz: Like for example, if we take software engineering, everyone's freaking out about AI replacing coders.
10:48
Ejaaz: The truth is the coders will just become managers of AI agents that do the code for them.
10:54
Ejaaz: Have we ever had a job like that before? No. So it's the same as like the industrial
10:57
Ejaaz: revolution where we have this like weird evolutionary period but we don't quite
11:01
Ejaaz: know what's happening, but we know that hopefully we're going to be okay by the end of it.
11:04
Josh: Yeah, and he followed up that original post with, the exposure was scored by
11:08
Josh: an LLM based on how digital the job is.
11:09
Josh: This has no bearing on what actually happens to these occupations,
11:12
Josh: which has to do with demand, elasticity, and a lot more. This is...
11:17
Josh: Noteworthy. And I think, again, the backlash comes from, there are strong headwinds
11:22
Josh: that point the opposite direction, right?
11:23
Josh: Like just recently we had a jobs report that came out in February where the
11:27
Josh: US economy lost 92,000 jobs in February on unemployment rate.
11:31
Josh: It ticked back up to 4.4%. Healthcare, which was an industry that was really
11:35
Josh: holding the jobs economy together, it shed 28,000 jobs in February and December
11:42
Josh: was then revised down to lose 17,000.
11:44
Josh: So unemployment rate is much higher.
11:46
Josh: I mean, when you look at this chart, if you scroll down just a little bit more,
11:49
Josh: it shows there's some serious losses that haven't been happening in a couple years.
11:53
Josh: Is this a lagging indicator of the overhiring that happened in COVID?
11:57
Josh: Is this an effect of AI? It's probably a mixture of sorts.
12:01
Josh: We can go to our friends over at Polymarket to kind of seek truth and understand
12:04
Josh: this a little bit better.
12:05
Josh: And we'll take a look at this Poly Market that shows how many jobs will be added in March.
12:09
Josh: Now, you'll notice the number was much higher recently
12:12
Josh: before crashing down um of 50 to
12:15
Josh: 100k we were at what it was 44 and
12:19
Josh: now it's dropped down to significantly less
12:22
Josh: uh under 30 so it looks like the polymarket
12:26
Josh: is kind of guiding towards a worse jobs report than we think how high will u.s
12:31
Josh: employment go in 2026 there is a 58 chance now that it will be up to over five
12:36
Josh: percent um which is noteworthy because we're currently at 4.4 so this is a trend
12:40
Josh: that polymarket sees happening and then i guess we have to ask the question.
12:44
Josh: Will there be a u.s recession caused by this by the end of 2026 thankfully
12:47
Josh: the number is staying strong at 31 and trending
12:50
Josh: downwards it looks like over the course of the time that this market's been
12:53
Josh: in place so it seems like maybe we're losing some jobs but it's not going to
12:57
Josh: cause recession and it's just it's a good time to learn how to use these ai
13:01
Josh: tools leverage them for your own well-being for your own productive gain and
13:05
Josh: thank you very much for polymarket for sponsoring this part of episode.
13:08
Ejaaz: I think it's important to mention that Carpity's report doesn't live in a silo.
13:14
Ejaaz: There are a bunch of other reports and studies which actually confirm his data.
13:19
Ejaaz: Anthropic themselves released a study a few weeks ago, which looked at the labor market impacts of AI.
13:24
Ejaaz: And they had this pretty crazy chart on the left here, which basically shows
13:29
Ejaaz: the ability for AI to automate particular jobs or skills.
13:34
Ejaaz: So like business and finance, computer and math, you'll see the blue section
13:38
Ejaaz: shows that AI can basically do a lot of that job right now.
13:41
Ejaaz: And then the red basically shows how much AI has actually penetrated that particular
13:47
Ejaaz: job or market in the real world.
13:49
Ejaaz: So the point being made here is AI today can actually do a lot of the work that
13:54
Ejaaz: a lot of human employees and workers do.
13:57
Ejaaz: It just hasn't diffused yet, which is a lot of scarier of a proposition than I initially thought.
14:03
Ejaaz: I thought, okay, well, AI isn't just smart enough yet. And so it's going to take some time.
14:07
Ejaaz: But the truth is, it's already here. We just haven't dispersed it into everyone's
14:12
Ejaaz: hands just yet. And it's more of an adoption issue going forwards.
14:15
Josh: And this is the take I think a lot of people might not realize when they want to ask AI to slow down.
14:21
Josh: They want to decelerate. And the reality is that these models are so powerful
14:25
Josh: now, and they're so capable, that it's no longer a matter of increased intelligence.
14:29
Josh: It's more a matter of diffusion.
14:30
Josh: I find that most of the impact that AI will have on the world around us we have
14:36
Josh: the models that are sufficient in order to act that enact that change it's like.
14:40
Josh: What do we need more intelligent models for? Solving new physics,
14:43
Josh: solving new math, solving new science for solving novel breakthroughs.
14:46
Josh: But the things that we do every day, it's really a dispersion problem.
14:49
Josh: It's a matter of getting the AI into these systems and automating them because
14:53
Josh: it exists today. It is here.
14:55
Josh: And I think one of the I mean, if you don't believe us, we can defer to Elon's
14:59
Josh: post, which I think was one of the more noteworthy comments on this whole Andre
15:04
Josh: story, because he replied to it saying all jobs will be optional.
15:08
Josh: There will be universal high income.
15:09
Josh: And I think he really believes this. I've listened to Elon in a series of conversations
15:14
Josh: in which he's kind of laid out the path for the future and what that looks like.
15:17
Josh: And it seems like it's going to be a very difficult train to stop,
15:21
Josh: particularly once we get humanoid robots.
15:24
Josh: So one of the problems with this publication that a lot of people mentioned
15:27
Josh: on X is that it doesn't factor into account what the world looks like.
15:31
Josh: Once AI breaks out of its box, once there are physical robots kind of moving
15:35
Josh: around, once there are robots in factories, robots going down the street.
15:39
Josh: Recently, last weekend, Travis Kalanick released his new company,
15:43
Josh: the founder of Uber. He created the follow-up called Atoms.
15:45
Josh: And Atoms is entirely based around moving these physical atoms and automating
15:50
Josh: the movement of these atoms.
15:51
Josh: So I think as we start to move forward into the Elon-based world,
15:55
Josh: into the Travis-based world, where the AI breaks out of the box.
15:59
Josh: Oh yeah, here we have it here.
15:59
Josh: This is the vision from Travis Kalanick's new company named Atoms.
16:03
Josh: And the idea is that AI is breaking out of a box. It is becoming physically
16:07
Josh: manifested through these robots,
16:08
Josh: these robots will become so efficient that the cost of doing a productive service
16:13
Josh: or task will basically collapse to the net goods, the cost of the net goods
16:17
Josh: and the cost of the energy expenditure.
16:19
Josh: And that labor cost will be removed from the equation. And a lot of these people
16:23
Josh: are betting their entire companies on this equation being true.
16:25
Ejaaz: The craziest part, just going back to this Anthropic report,
16:28
Ejaaz: Josh, is this came from a frontier AI lab. So they're building the tools
16:34
Ejaaz: that's going to replace or automate a bunch of this stuff.
16:37
Ejaaz: So it's a stark display of honesty and transparency, which I'm quite impressed by.
16:44
Ejaaz: But the other point I want to make, and I want to end on a positive note,
16:48
Ejaaz: is I think a lot of this AI stuff is going to result in more demand for human
16:55
Ejaaz: jobs, which might be a very hot take at this point.
16:58
Ejaaz: But I think, what's the law, Josh, where if we have more of the thing,
17:04
Ejaaz: it actually leads to a higher demand?
17:06
Josh: That is Jevons Paradox, my friend.
17:08
Ejaaz: Thank you, Jevons Paradox. So Jevons Paradox basically states that if you have
17:13
Ejaaz: more supply of something, let's say more compute out there, you might argue
17:18
Ejaaz: that, okay, well, it's going to cheapen the use of AI.
17:21
Ejaaz: The result is often the opposite, which is more people can do things with this
17:26
Ejaaz: cheap AI. So they start creating more jobs and more use cases and consumption
17:30
Ejaaz: and production absolutely go exponential.
17:33
Ejaaz: And that's what I think is going to happen in the job market.
17:36
Ejaaz: I think initially we're going to come across a bit of turmoil because people
17:39
Ejaaz: don't really know what that next level of their job looks like.
17:43
Ejaaz: But once things settle, once the dust settles and once people realize,
17:46
Ejaaz: oh, we're living in this new world where AI agents can do things for me,
17:49
Ejaaz: where my personal agent can handle all my payments and shopping and all that
17:53
Ejaaz: kind of stuff for me, it frees you up to do much larger, bigger things.
17:56
Ejaaz: Everyone can Vibe code their own app or product or launch their own company
17:59
Ejaaz: and run it completely by themselves.
18:01
Ejaaz: And that's a new world order, which I don't think people have wrapped their heads around.
18:05
Ejaaz: I certainly haven't. I don't really know what that looks like,
18:07
Ejaaz: but I do think it's gonna result in more jobs and maybe even higher pay per person.
18:12
Ejaaz: I think people will become smarter as a result of AI and become more productive.
18:16
Josh: And it's okay that we don't know what it looks like and I wouldn't expect anyone
18:20
Josh: to know what it looks like. We're going from a very certain thing to a very uncertain thing.
18:24
Josh: We know what the jobs market looks like. We had a very clear projection of what
18:27
Josh: was going to happen and now that has changed.
18:29
Josh: Does it mean that it will result in less jobs perhaps in the intermediary,
18:33
Josh: in certain subcategories?
18:35
Josh: Net net at the end of this, I mean, we've just, we've continued to evolve.
18:39
Josh: We've gone through the agricultural revolution, the industrial revolution,
18:42
Josh: each one of those times jobs disappeared and then reappeared in so much more abundance.
18:48
Josh: And every time there is more opportunities, there are more fun opportunities.
18:52
Josh: I mean, we solve a series of pretty mediocre problems. How many people really
18:55
Josh: grow up wanting to be a medical transcriber? Is that your dream?
18:59
Josh: Perhaps not. Perhaps it just enables you to do something that is more valuable,
19:03
Josh: more exciting, more interesting.
19:04
Josh: And I think we're going to continue to see that across the stack.
19:06
Josh: So it's scary because it's uncertain.
19:08
Josh: But I think the one certain thing is that we have continued to evolve to create
19:13
Josh: more ways to spend our time that yield in a better result of living,
19:17
Josh: a better quality of life for everyone.
19:19
Josh: And I guess that's the optimistic hopeful take at the end is things will be
19:22
Josh: uncertain. Things will be weird.
19:23
Josh: It's moving very quickly. It's changing quickly, but hopefully everyone wins.
19:26
Josh: And at the worst case scenario, Elon's giving universal high income for everyone, right?
19:30
Josh: So yeah, I know. I'll take care of it. Yeah.
19:33
Ejaaz: So to summarize, if you are a college grad right now, and you're freaking out
19:39
Ejaaz: about what job you're going to have, the most highest leverage thing you can
19:42
Ejaaz: do, even if you are currently employed, is to start using these AI tools.
19:47
Ejaaz: Josh and I try and use it day to day in everything that we do,
19:51
Ejaaz: whether it's research for the podcast, or whether it's trying to help teach
19:55
Ejaaz: us ourselves something that we don't understand.
19:57
Ejaaz: We use it for everything. And the point is, the earlier you can start using
20:01
Ejaaz: these tools, the more acquainted you're going to become with what this new world
20:04
Ejaaz: order is going to look like.
20:05
Ejaaz: And the better proposed you are to evolving into whatever that job eventually
20:10
Ejaaz: becomes. The jobs that you're probably going to take in the future probably
20:13
Ejaaz: haven't even existed yet or haven't even been created yet.
20:16
Ejaaz: So there is a cautiously optimistic approach to all of this.
20:20
Ejaaz: And I truly think that if you use the tools, you will better set yourself up for success.
20:25
Josh: Very well said. And if you're interested to see just how affected your industry
20:28

20:46

20:50
Josh: people also are kind of pragmatic about it they're like hey i'm actually using
20:53
