Nicolas Cole argues AI won't kill jobs, just change them. A LinkedIn writer earning $3,000 a month managing five posts weekly becomes a manager overseeing AI agents doing the writing and posting instead. With execution time slashed, one person can manage multiple agents handling emails and cross-posting, shifting work from doing to managing.

This is why it is so foundationally flawed when people sit there and think AI is— there are going to be no more jobs. No, no, no, no. This is how the job is going to transition. Right now you're getting paid $3,000 a month to write 5 LinkedIn posts per week. The digital brain will write those 5 posts a week and maybe they even build some agents to help with posting and tracking analytics. Like maybe they just go full-blown automation. So what does your job transition to? Your job transitions to managing the agents who write the 5 LinkedIn posts per week. And then because the amount of time that that it takes you is so small relative to the doing before, you also can manage the agents who write the emails, and you also can manage the agents who cross-post to multiple platforms. So the doing goes down, which opens time, which allows the management to go up. You can take on more. This is what is going to happen inside of every single business.
