🧵 AI is going to nuke the bottom third of performers in jobs done on computers — even creative ones — in the next 24 months

White collar salaries are going to plummet to the average of the global work force & the speed at which the top performers can write prompts
If you’re low to average at your job you need to get on these tools immediately, learn how to augment yourself, & invest massively in your ability to add new skills constantly

Companies are going to get dramatically smaller & more profitable, like Facebook, twitter, & others… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Top performers are already leveraging these tools to increase the distance between themselves & low performers… it’s getting polarizing

40 & 50 year olds who have been coveted performers their whole careers who ignore these tools are going to be retired from the workforce
This isn’t about phone operators, farmers, or dishwashers — this is about knowledge workers

Your knowledge has been commoditized, you’re ability to be nimble and learn new skills is all that matters
In a down economy CEOs are looking for an excuse to fire expensive, old, entitled, slow people… as we’ve seen at Amazon, google

They’re excited to replace them with half-priced young folks who want to change the world & who now have access to the previously hidden knowledge

O.H. in the Valley last night:

1/For the past decade a vocal minority of elites, with the easiest & highest-paying jobs, have vocally attacked capitalism while being the biggest beneficiaries of it

Those elites are now considered unnecessary & their jobs are being eliminated
2/I listened to this conversation and it was clear that there is a new culture war starting that leaders are very tuned into it.

Everyone asks, "who is doing essential work at this company?"

If you're not on that list, your position is eliminated one person said.
3/This culture war isn't about politics; it's about productivity and focus.

For young folks, time box your calendar now and make sure when you reflect on your week,acute you played some essential role in moving your company forward.

Remote work makes this even more acute...

Might not be a popular opinion, but I think @andrewrsorkin should do this interview & hold @SBF_FTX to account for every detail of this “alleged” fraud 🙄

All of it will be admissible, & the @nytimes SBF coverage has been so embarrassing this is a real shot at redemption
@andrewrsorkin should start with the massive political and media donations, grants, gifts and grift—in detail.

You gifted $tk to TK—what was your goal?
When I interviewed the CEO of Nikola he said some really incriminating stuff that wound up in the court case that found him guilty

Holmes had a bunch of public press statement in her case as well

These sociopaths always incriminate themselves (except elite mobsters & Trump😂)

Name your top three critics today and what value they bring to your life
Never forget the role of the critic #thenew
In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read.

If you love what you do, get paid well, & wake up excited to do it every day, that’s winning

If you hate your job, comp sucks, & you loathe the thought of doing it, make a plan & find something new

Note: reality still applies, change can be hard &our industry has it REALLY easy
We in tech, higher education, media, & finance live at a level of privilege and optionality that is historic in the history of humanity.

Yet we complain & argue while most of the world struggles silently, perplexed by our narcissistic machinations of how “trapped” we are.
It’s our massive privilege, free time, and endless opportunities that give us this ability to complain so incessantly about such minutiae.

~50% of the world lives under authoritarian rule — and it’s not decreasing any more.

That is worth obsessing over.

Recommend: @collision interviewing Stanley Druckenmiller
@collision Bitcoin teetering on teens

not unexpected since:

a) margin calls
b) people liquidating to pay expenses
c) fear
d) hodlrs don't see a bottom yet &/or might not have cash to buy the dip

... but mainly fear. Lots and lots of fear. Image

Thanks Greg

I’m proud we dedicated the entire EP of @theallinpod to #RoeVWade

We had amazing experts on to deepen our understanding, & had a respectful, thoughtful, & forward-looking discussion

Listened to 10+ podcasts on RvW & they were all one-sided

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all…
I do understand some in our community don’t want us doing single-topic episodes (or this one), but we are going to take chances with the format of the pod

Sometimes we will take on topics we find important but you may not… which is what is great about podcasts IMO. 🙏🏽
I do hope folks listen to each other deeply on this issue & we find a way forward that respects a women’s right to choose & that represents what the majority wants*

[ * ~19% of our country wants to ban abortion, the majority of folks are pro-choice with some limitations ~80% ]
