Upskilling Isn’t a Slogan—It’s a Survival Strategy

Some CEOs have been blunt about what comes next. Micha Kaufman has urged workers to deepen their AI skills, arguing that those who learn to guide and improve AI outputs become architects of future work, not victims of automation. Data from Fiverr shows freelancers using AI save hours each week and earn more, not less.

Research from The Budget Lab at Yale and McKinsey & Company suggests widespread disruption will likely unfold over years, not months. But the direction is set: roles will evolve, skills will overlap, and workers who adapt early—by pairing human insight with AI tools—will be far better positioned than those who resist the shift.

the ai take is harsh but also kinda real, learning to work with it seems unavoidable
