AI, like every technological revolution before it, presents us with two choices.

Fight it, stick our heads in the sand, and resist.

Accept, embrace, and figure out how to leverage.

The technological genie is not going back into the bottle.

As Tyler Cowen argues (convincingly, imho) in [Existential risk, AI, and the inevitable turn in human history](https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2023/03/existential-risk-and-the-turn-in-human-history.html?utm_source=pocket_mylist), the best thing you can do at a moment like this is dive in.

Dive into the AI.

Dive into the tools and the concepts.

Learn about prompt engineering.

It’s easier to envision destruction than creation, that is for sure, so it’s easy to imagine all of the jobs that will go away.

And many will.

What’s less easy to envision are the new jobs that have never been needed before that will emerge.

We won’t need CPAs, but what will we need?

We won’t need most copywriters or low-level programmers. What comes next?

These will only become clear when you engage with the tech.
