This show is of course The Survival Podcast. So often when people first find it they are expecting only topics like storing and growing food, building bug out bags, guns and perhaps planing for the…
And I kind of want to take you back in time just a little bit today, not real far back.
But I want to take you back to right about the time that AI started to really show up.
It wasn't just the guys that always play with new technology doing it like your kids started using it or you started using it or at least your co-workers started using it.
Teachers started to worry that kids were using it to do their term papers and things like that.
And think about that time and think about the two different ways that people reacted to it.
And I'm going to say way over half the population is like, screw that, I want to do it, right? And those people, they're still the majority, I actually think.
And most of them now, instead of screw that, it's more like, I'm going to ignore it and I'm going to hope that it goes away.
And then there's a lot of those people who have not really snapped to how to use it yet, how to use it in a way that progresses forward in the right direction.
Instead, if they're using it at all, they're using it to go faster without any real direction, without any real control.
It's like jumping in a car and flooring the gas, but you don't know where you're going.
Those people, by and large, either they look at it and see it and they're not dealing with it or they're dealing with it sloppy, but what they're most concerned about right now, especially if they're a knowledge worker, it's going to take my job.
Most people today that do any sort of work that primarily keeps them behind a desk, if you ask them if they're concerned about AI taking their job and they say no, they're either the most uninformed human on the planet, okay, or they're lying, or potentially they have like six months left before they retire, in which case, okay, fine.
Even if they feel their job is relatively safe, they worry about this concept of like mass layoffs.
So when I looked at it, I immediately said what I always say, right? We're not going to run out of jobs because we're not going to run out of problems.
As long as there's problems, we're going to rely on other people to help us solve them.
