It's not worth reconfiguring your entire career over this. It's easy for the guy who's still employed to say, wait, you're Matt Britton.
Nice to meet you.
Can I get you a coffee?
Sure, I'd love some coffee. Let's do it.
My wife and I, we both have student loan payments and the offer we made on our dream house was accepted, which is great. She's excited. I'm excited. Kids are excited. Actually, I'm not. I had no idea how behind I was until I got that phone call and until I picked up your book. You know what, what sort of recommendations do you have for me? Where do I. Where do I go from here?
Well, you've already gotten the book and you're already reading it, which is a great first step because what generation AI should give you is a worldview of AI's broader impact on the world at large, on business, on culture and society. But then it's time to put your hands on keyboard and get really tactical. Really try to understand these tools, especially the tools that matter to your industry. Go to YouTube and search how do I get started in AI? And really try to command these tools because no matter where you go next, your ability to understand how these tools apply to your everyday job will give you a real leg up in the workforce.
What do you think is the number one thing people get wrong about AI?
People are largely underestimating AI's coming impact. You know, many companies right now are reimagining their future in AI powered world and asking questions like where does the role of robots end and humans begin? You know, in your next job, it's no longer going to be AI that takes your job. It's going to be someone that understands AI that will.
Thank you, Matt. I appreciate it.
Yeah. You got this?
I hope so. I feel like I do. Hey, would you raise your signature on. Do you want a refill? I'm okay, thank you. I got everything I need right here. Sam. Sa. It.
