    Why does this video start with such a simplistic take?
    The pool of available jobs diminished.
    That will kick some people out regardless of a specific person’s skill set.
    If everyone working on simpler jobs skills up and does more complex ones, that too results in more people competing for the higher end segments.

    It was so much fun to have this conversation with Jon. If folks are interested in learning more about how people are navigating their 12, 20 or 30 job changes and pivots, I hope you’ll tune into our podcast called “A Life Worth Working,” which delves into the messiness and stuck-ness that can lead to remarkable futures. Available wherever you listen to podcasts.

    For the video game industry It’s not that AI is coming for our jobs now, it’s that they overhired during the lockdown and are offloading the excess. As the studios rebuild they’re building around AI. Yes there will still be game dev jobs but not as many especially at the junior level.

    If AI threatens your job, maybe the problem isn’t AI…🤔
    It sounds harsh, but it’s a brutally honest take! This video really shifts the perspective — maybe it’s time we learn to work with AI, not against it.

    👉 What do you think? Is AI stealing jobs or creating better ones?

    Talk meant to be about Ai taking jobs. Starts with saying “it’s not the AI, it’s you who is the problem” and then follows with talking about how to hold a camera in people’s face and that it’s important to have an agenda in a meeting. Totally not what I expected from the title

    No one’s job is safe from AI. Not because AI will do your job better than a human, but because the people hiring won’t care. They care about cutting costs and increasing profits and nothing else.

  21. @gmenezesdea

    June 18, 2025 at 10:57 am

    Sure, AI can make art. But it will never be able to make art with artistic sensibility. Every human that pays attention to it for a second will feel something is off.

    22:00 Great comment. When I get frustrated with my guitar students, I flip my instrument upside down and suddenly I’m fumbling for chords, my fingers hurt, and I’m really slow. The students get a laugh and I am reminded of how awkward the beginning really is.

    • @SamanticsNL

      June 19, 2025 at 6:22 am

      Think about it this way: If your daughter follows her heart, she’ll find a way. Before choosing my studies, I thought about the future-proofness of the job. That’s why I chose something else and I’ve always regretted it. In the end, after a severe burnout, I started doing what I had wanted all along.

    • @Rithmy

      June 19, 2025 at 1:10 pm

      Ask her the question: Lets say we know the future and we 100% know that her job will be taken over by AI. Would studying for her NOW feel like wasted time? If the answer is yes then she should reconsider why that is so. If no then you don’t have to worry about her. She decides what a wasted life looks like. Not you.
