The further you got in the tech industry before AI, the harder it will be for you to navigate post-AI. What it took to make it was to be as much of a robot as you could be—to program a computer, you have to think like a computer. But now, we have much more effective and scalable robots than you running probabilistic inference on silicon. What's left, and what's the remaining source of all differentiation and value, is being human.
In other words, STEM is cooked; humanities are so back.* Pick up a book! 🦉

*In the limit, STEM and humanities converge—but only when neither is done instrumentally!
