A short conversational excerpt from the YouTube video "FutureProof Episode 2" (Matt Britton channel). Multiple speakers discuss a recent job loss attributed to an AI system, their reactions, and early advice about adapting—emphasizing that AI-driven change is happening and urging openness to pivoting and preparation for new opportunities.
Your role was eliminated. I don't understand. We.
We just put an offering on a house.
Everything okay?
Just a small fire at work.
Dan. Dan. Dan.
Yeah?
You sure you have to go into work tomorrow? Might be good for you to have a transition day at home.
I wish. But I should go in. I think there's a lot I need to catch up on.
I get it.
Great minds. Yeah.
I just got this.
It's a good one.
Seems like it. I just. Not sure about AI and that's the thing.
Doesn't matter how you feel about it. AI Is going to happen whether you like it or not.
Believe me, I know. What's happening.
Damn. Didn't sound great.
I just got fired yesterday. Replaced by my company's new AI Something.
Similar happened to me about a year ago. Really?
Yeah.
But I only got overlooked for a promotion. Though. I never thought I'd count myself as lucky. But maybe I was.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. Just not sure where to go from here. I've never felt lost like this before.
I get it. It's a new world out there, and that's disorienting, to say the least.
Yeah, exactly. I don't know what to do.
Well, maybe you should start with the closest lifeline you have. Now.
That'S. That's a good idea.
Listen, it seems like AI won the first battle with you.
Oh, yeah.
But it's a long way to go. The ultimate winners will be whoever embraces.
AI I think that's true. Cuz ignoring it sure hasn't worked out so far.
