Gurley says AI makes safe jobs riskier and pursuing passion a better career defense.
“if you were put in a safe job that you don't truly love, I would encourage you to consider this alternate door that I'm representing, to maybe find something you're passionate about and get away from that risk.”
Gurley argues people in safe jobs they don't love are most vulnerable to AI disruption.
“I think a lot of the people that go through that college conveyor belt that are chasing a safe job that end up working as a widget or a cog in an industry they may not love, I think they are ripe for disruption.”
Gurley argues society steers people toward safe jobs that AI may make unsafe anyway over 80,000 working hours.
“And I fear that our society has been steering people towards quote safe jobs, which in a day of AI may not even be that safe anymore.”
Gurley argues that safe jobs are threatened by AI and fascination-based careers are actually safest now.
“I fear that our society has been steering people towards quote safe jobs, which in a day of AI may not even be that safe anymore.”
Gurley warns people who chose safe jobs without loving them are sitting ducks for AI technology.
“I think you're those are the people, oddly enough, that are kinda sitting ducks for this new technology that's coming along.”
Gurley argues society pushes people toward safe jobs out of worry about economic well-being, not to stifle creativity.
“I always wanna say that because I don't think I don't think anyone's out to stifle creativity per se, but they worry. They worry about the kids' economic well-being.”
