Everyone's thinking replacement and no one is thinking enhancement. As an engineer and designer, my use of AI has not reduced work, instead, it shows you dead ends and opens new avenues. Collaboration with AI both closes unproductive avenues and opens new avenues. But you still have to travel those new avenues. Remember, AI makes mistakes, it misses things, and sometimes it just fails. And that's where you come in.
AI will go through stages in the business world, and I agree augmentation is the first step and it's already here. I write new code 10x faster with AI than I did without it. I still have to do most of the actual "work" of putting it all together and debugging it, but AI writes code far faster than I could ever hope to. Eventually we will get to AI replacing human labor, and that will come one field at a time as AI improves in certain areas. But IMO that is still at least a decade or two away. We also have to consider how slow companies are to adopt new technologies. GitHub CoPilot for example is always lagging like a year behind on their models, and a year in the world of AI is an eternity. It's still a useful tool, but it sucks compared to using a browser AI.
Exactly! Yeah, it can right code. And now try to get someone with close to zero IT experience to create something a bit more complicated than calculator and see what happens.
@@dmitryi3761 well, a few years ago I needed to use successive iteration to get points for a curve, my son tried to get AI to do it, it failed, so I had to write a spreadsheet and do it the old way.
It's very obvious. The thing to look at is the progress. I first used AI img2video and text2voice almost 2 years ago. It is far from perfect now but it has come a long way. 1 or 2 more years it will be perfect.
The McKinsey prediction you are mentioning is incorrect. They are not saying that 50% will be automated by 2030. This is what they are stating: "We have found that around 15 percent of the global workforce, or about 400 million workers, could be displaced by automation in the period 2016-2030. This reflects our midpoint scenario in projecting the pace and scope of adoption. Under the fastest scenario we have modeled, that figure rises to 30 percent, or 800 million workers." The 50% are in regards to what they think is automatable by current standards. It's also written in the the screenshot you showed. "50% of current work activities are technically automatable by adapting currently demonstrated technologies". That's a pretty big difference.
Imo, semantics but yeah thats a big difference, so 15% will be unemployed, i am aure that includes all the uber or similar services drivers, costumer service employees and all the lower level jobs right?
You are absolutely correct. I just started a multi-media news and information service and I'm an Army of one doing literally everything myself, with the help of a few AI tools.
I went from not even knowing coding terms to writing a 70,000 line program. Being a professional in my field, I can now leverage my expertise and creativity whereas before, I had to communicate with a non expert to code a program that was 5% as good. Now I made probably the best app in my field starting from thin air and with the help of AI. At first I relied on it, and I learned SO FAST now I answer my own questions rather than ask it. It’s like the Matrix where they upload to your brain. All it takes is the will to “do” something, and now EVERYONE can! Most people don’t know yet.
Would you share your learning path to reached this. Was it coding you learn first, then AI? Which subjects and in which sequence. This info can help a lot of people who want to transition into this new type of work, create AI solution for business
@@GoodLife408t 1) Decided I wanted to make something complex, even though I did not know how. This is the most important part! I decided that "I AM GOING TO DO THIS". 2) Briefly started a tutorial video and said screw it, I'm jumping right in. You learn by DOING, NOT WATCHING !!! 3) Opened VSCODE and a chat GPT (3 back then) window and said "how do I start"? Often had to ask "what do you mean" to chat gpt because I did not know the terms it was using. 4) Started cobbling the program together. I would ask "how do I do this" and it gave some code, then I'd try it, modify it, paste it BACK into gpt telling it about problems or errors, and gpt sends back fixed iteration. Over and over and over again I did this. For the first few months, probably typed 100X more GPT text than actual code. 5) At some point, I found myself pausing mid "message", and not hitting send, because I knew how to do it myself. I had learned by DOING, literally soaking it up into my subconscious. 6) I often times went back OVER existing code to restructure it completely. This is because, when you are starting out, you "just want it to work". Then as the project grows, you realize you are unable to manage it the way it was written. Not to mention going back over and optimizing. 7) Now, I still ask it questions as it gets better (like o1) , but mainly now I'll give it a block of code and ask if it can be optimized any further. 8) If you have every dreamt of making an app or program, just know you can do it NOW. Or a myriad other things! EVERY PERSON can now do ANYTHING with enough gumption. HOW? A) Open a chat gpt window. B) PASTE in a clear explanation of what you would like to accomplish (notice I did not say type). C) Finally, ask it "How do we start" ? PS: GPT is a TOOL. YOU are the sculptor. GPT is "dumb". YOU are not.
One problem: We often think of the future as a fixed endpoint, but we forget that change itself is accelerating. It's like a runaway train in "The Matrix" that doesn't stop at a station. Nobody knows the future.
I agree with you 'nobody knows the future', yet here are two ideas aligned with 'nobody knows the future' that keep me optimistic. 1. As 'story-making-machines' humans always control the meaning of change. Yes, it's accelerating, AND we still can control the narrative and expression of that change. 2. The future emerges from a 'field of possibility'. Yes, we DON'T know the future, yet I know this much, we are currently living in the best instance of history when I reflect and compare the past with our present. In the 'field of possibility' of our future, I'm very optimistic, especially if I align my/our efforts towards an intentional beautiful expression, come what may.
its quite funny actually to think that there is such a concept even of "the future" . i mean, one cant possiby somehow boil down to one big picture of Voila, this is the future. Such an abstract concept. As it seems that there are many smaller future bubbles- of nations, regions, cultures, groups , what ever... its like a big spectrum of all levels which are on the global plate... even today, there are versions and spots which are way in the year 2100 and other spots which are like in the 1500s... and stoneage.
Exciting times to be an entrepreneur. I'm staggered so many of my friends are oblivious to this. This is something that business minded folks of the past literally dreamed about. AI is not taking our jobs, it's democratizing the ability to be an business owner.
There will always be a need for good engineers with good critical thinking skills and good problem-solving ability. So everyone saying there won’t be, including Jensen Huang himself, is *wrong.* Source: I’m 52 and have been coding since I was about 10
I think the biggest thing people should be thinking is how do I gain ownership of something that generates me enough money to live. Because the idea of I just need to get a good job that pays well is going to go away.
Yep. I have been thinking and researching along the same lines; trying to find and AI powered opportunity that run's by itself constantly generating income 24/7. Any good leads on this? Thanks.
I agree. that good paying jobs are already gone, if you look online or on RUclips that most software engineers are loosing their jobs and having trouble looking for work in Software Engineering or Development. It seems that good programmers are putting themselves out of a job. I think the more AI becomes better the more good paying jobs will disappear.
Such a two-edged sword! Yes, you can do the work of ten, but so can the guy sitting next to you. You may both be fired because the receptionist can do this too, and she also answers the phones (for now).
Bang! You just hit the nail on the head regarding the dark side of using AI. Massive layoffs will ensue. Not everybody will be able to retrain as an "AI generalist" any more than all of the displaced automobile workers could when robots replaced them on the production line; no then, not ever. What are all of those displaced information workers going to do with themselves? How is the government going to take care of all of those citizens (basic Universal Minimum Income?); don't even get me started on this latter.
@@danieldykes4172 Its amazing how far and how fast things are moving in terms of automation, it started with Human Labor, then machines came to play, now those who worked in the Automobile or Factory settings no longer work in these settings since its all automated and robotics, yes they may have Robotics Technician working there and maybe be safe for now. NOW its the Information Worker or IT workers loosing their jobs due to AI.
@@tadmarshall2739 just curious - how many businesses you know still have receptionists that answer phones? How many businesses do you call daily that are answered by a human and not an annoying recorded option menu?
@ My last job had a receptionist. You could call the company's phone number and she'd answer. This was not a megacorp, just a medium sized software company.
This video is a great ad for first movers and it provides some valuable information but what it does not provide is a way for us professionals to start the journey to becoming an AI Generalist.
Thank you very much for taking the time to make videos like this. You could easily spend your time growing your business or otherwise, but you choose to share what you are seeing along with industry insights which is greatly appreciated and very useful.
Julia, there are a great many people out there who simply let life happen to them. The chances of helping them are slim to none. I am sure you have met them before. It is a sad truth that some people do not like being alive. I used to be one until I met my wife.
Last year I hired a team of Developers. I had six on my team and none of them could accomplish what I have been able to accomplish using simply AI in less than 3 months. The amount of money it cost me in paying Developers for subpar work, I could have saved that money and allocated it towards marketing. However I have built an AI generated children's song creator that is personalized and will hit the market in less than 2 weeks period and it was just me and chat GPT.
I don't get this logic, not your logic personally, but the logic that if you turn up to the office instead of WFH, your boss won't notice that your job can be automated.
@@cordfortina9073 I guess it all depends on the boss. If they are even half decent, they may think twice if they can see your face every day. Although, even that won't work forever. But honestly, the scariest part is when you realize that entire companies can be replaced...
I've been in IT for 15 years... I am getting my Ai Practitioner Cert from AWS by the end of January... and trying to find ways to use Ai at my job to give every excuse for them to see me as the Ai Prompter they need rather than see me as a cost that they can replace... I agree man... it is scary to see how fast Ai is melting away everything we have been relied on for decades.
Changing at the speed of light. This is what it feels like as a digital agency owner. It used to be once a month or quarter we would see “amazing updates”. Now it happens daily. I am seeing how leveraging Ai and agents, still supervised by humans will give scale like we’ve never imagined. One question: as Ai agents answer our emails, create and interact with social media, who and how will decisions truly occur? Also, how will businesses and advertisers, looking at data, determine if the interaction was that of a human or Ai?
UBI will come into play in the next 4 years or less to balance out the lack of jobs due to automation of labor. Consumerism itself will change dramatically as cost decreases. I think it can turn into UHI (Elon Musk's idea) and afford natural, healthy living for everyone if it is decentralized properly. The book I just released, Liberation Through the Machines, paints a picture of a future where we can all share in equal distributions from the benefits of the automation of labor - and finally be freed up from the work we don't love to do anyways and shouldn't be doing either (hunched over at desks 8+ hours a day isn't what we were born to do). So I see it like a completely healthy paradigm shift for humanity. But we've got to get it right.
@@JuliaMcCoy I think UBI will come into play, but it will take more time and turmoil to come into effect. A huge army of the unemployed and dozens of trillion dollar companies will force change. Just bought your new audio book, looking forward to listening to it!
Gov will tax companies, then there'll be a fund for those out of work so that they can continue to buy products, and might even be able to own shares in the AI companies and participate in their governance to represent the interests of people. Plus, people will find and create new jobs.
The rise of AI generalists is such an intriguing concept. It’s fascinating to think about how adaptability in leveraging AI tools can redefine career landscapes. Excited to see where this trend leads.
I've been praying for that for years. The law is THE LAW - it's literally written down. And while humans must always interpret laws [since, like, we wrote it and all...], I'd much rather see it put into practice by a system with perfect and infinite recall - the same way we rely on calculators rather than people when doing math. AI doesn't have to make a final decision on anything - but it should certainly be used to compile evidence and compare with precedents in case law -
@@atlanteum But what about the emotion that's involved in a trial case with jurors? Or the skill that's involved in getting a witness or the accused to say the wrong thing? Could an AI lawyer have got Colonel Jessup to confess in the way that Tom Cruise did in a Few Good Men?
@@danquixote6072 I said AI should be put to use for it's capacity for recalling law, facts, cases and precedents, and that humans must interpret the laws. Bad lawyers who are unfamiliar with or misinterpret law do massive damage to our legal system. If both sides had full, instant, and nearly cost-free access to information, it would - I believe - increase the chances of actual justice being carried out.
@@danquixote6072 You were addressing the challenges of extracting truth and revealing deception thru trials and investigations - a critical skill set, of course. I was referring more to having inexpensive and instantaneous access to encyclopedic volumes of case law on which those investigations may be built and improved.
The people about to be displaced need to form a political party. AI seriously needs to be controlled and contained. We should pull the plug until we have a true understanding of its ramifications. In the meantime, you might want to rewatch the Matrix Trilogy and the Terminator movies.
I am a therapist. I'm sorry, but I don't share your optimism about the drastic changes that AI is going to bring. For one, these shifts are going to happen far too rapidly for many people to adapt to them successfully. Secondly, even in a "best case" scenario, you are talking about countless millions of people losing their jobs. Even in a so-called "leisure economy," this would be an unmitigated disaster. For the majority of humanity, work doesn't simply provide a means of meeting basic needs; it also functions as a form of psychotherapy, providing meaning and purpose, as well as a barrier that keeps many from descending into mental and moral illness. Without purposeful employment, human beings are likely to collapse into narcissism, mental and physical weakness, and despair.
@@Wolf88888 out of a billion people, 70% are currently unhappy at work. I’m sure you see the fruits of this as a therapist.

@@JuliaMcCoy Hey, Julia, Have you looked into the parallels of which Jaques Fresco spoke about in Venus Project concept? it kinda elaborated in the same direction.
totally agree with your first two points. half agree with your last one. I agree that it will be a challenge, but I imagine it will be similar to the changes people go through when they retire and need to learn how to live in leisure.
This is why psychoquacks are not taken seriously, right here and if you have a problem with that, read what G Stanley Hall said about women and black people in 1912 - Genetic Philosophy of Education - first "phd" in psychoquackery and remember, this idiot was Wilson's quack teacher at Hopkins in the 1800's and Wilson segregated the government. From "intelligence" tests to "artificial intelligence" - decades of non-stop lies.
The question is: How are we going to make money in several years from now? Will there be any money? Cyber money, crypto money? I mean, what should we do, and how can we prepare for that madness?
Not a "generalist", but the so-called in philosophy: "an all-encompassing individual" (a philosopher and a scientific mind and an expert in several fields and understanding technology, i.e. also an IT graduate). I am like that ;)))
Also, isn't there an adaptability factor? Ok, AI will be there, but who is going to have the knowledge to use it right away? It takes time for people to adapt to changes
Incorrect. The whole drive of AI is to enhance profit - as a functional extension of Capitalism -> the robots and their owners will charge for whatever they provide, but if Joe Public is skint, what is the point of such delusion i.e. a free market hinges on the availability of a flowing available money supply from clients with disposible income -> who is this going to be? -> robots bartering and transacting with other robots maybe?
Typist used to be a job. People will create new value propositions in the economy. Alot of income is disposable and hence, the economy on the supply side. The cost of things will go down.
The question is where to start and what to learn. The video doesn't explain what AI's to focus on or even really what to learn. I'm sure a lot of people are interested, but guidance is needed.
This is definitely a big opportunity for those who have any knowledge of how to use the new "AI" tools that are available today. However, those that think its going to replace your job 100% are truely mistaken. Remember computers can't think, they just run algorithms and are error prone. The rule of garbage in / garbage out still stands.
The models keep getting larger and more complicated. Promoters are speaking and writing of there ability to "reason." add to that the ability to actually reach out and do things with that newly generated information via Agentic Swarms, and you essentially have an Information Worker that can produce new content and take actions 100x to 1000x faster than you or I can.
I think you missed the point of AI. AI can learn and apply what they learn without humans directing them. The jobs that will require human thinking and interaction will be in industries like healthcare, landscaping, building and construction, harvesting and farming… for example, until the robots show up. A job that once took multiple people might only require one person and all the other jobs will be automated. So everyone will be competing for that one human position. Lots will change and people who deny or ignore what’s coming will be left wondering what happened and be far behind struggling to catch up. Not a good place to be if you have bills to pay or a family to feed.

The math won’t add up. Either 10 people can be replaced by an “army of one” leaving 9 with no roles, or all 10 will each be “armies of one” but then no efficiency has been introduced in the system. More likely, one person finds a place in the lifeboat and 9 are swimming alongside.
Bruce Lee famously said "be like water" Meaning water takes the shape of what it's put into. Art of War calls it being formless. That's an AI generalist...its the master move. You levels of adaptability will have to be high & amplified by AI to stay ahead. Because these systems capabilities are going to make huge leaps. I see professionals on Linkedin still balking at AI, still laughing, calling it a glorified spellcheck. They won't be laughing by December, i promise. AI is serious business.

As a programmer, it is a glorified syntax helper. It cannot do nomenclature, have no programming standard and cannot program anything more complex than 1000 lines.

Hi Julia, with all the jobs being replaced who will have the money to spend on the products being marketed? Do you think the "I" in "UBI" will be high enough to buy the products that will be sold by the AI agents?

I deliver regenerative ag to local customers. Having an automated version is not even a consideration because the customers love seeing me and talking. If AI replaces human connection then we have failed. It might be better at coding or doing shit nobody wants to do anyway. I don’t think I’ll ever sit next to an ai and want to explore and share the sensation of a new experience.
Future historical moment: "At first, I thought I had it made, what with my skills and experience working with AI, but in the months that followed, my AGI colleagues just kept getting better and better at what they did, with my help of course, until one day, I stood up and laughed. I left my dumbass profession chuckling all the way home, and never looked back, realizing that it was over, realizing that any sort of labor had become a relic of the past, and that no one really had to work anymore" 🙂
So, does this still create a need for UBI or income for unemployed people by the end of the year? I am more than happy to become an army of one. What happens to the people who cannot adapt? I know you and Shapiro are working on post-labor economics. We need to avoid what happened in the 20th and early 21st centuries, which created one of the largest homeless problems in American history.

@JuliaMcCoy Thank you for your insight. Like you and Shapiro, I am an accelerationist when it comes to AI. After business school, I have become concerned about keeping inflation under control and prices down. It makes me angry that costs are staying high because groups like the Long Shoremen are trying to ban any new technology at the port causing increasing costs for the American consumer. Ultra-modern ports in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East can now load and unload ships 80% faster than our ports and still have 1400 jobs like the port in Antwerp. I would like to catch up to nations like China, Sweden, and Japan in automation for manufacturing, warehousing, and the whole supply chain to help make American goods cheaper and increase exports. Also, modern farming with AI and advanced robotics will bring down the cost of food.
@@CMDRScotty : I think that the longshoremen and a thousand other professions are right to be skeptical and pushback on tech that is likely to put them out of a job. Until we have a UBI or other sufficient system, everyone is going to resist losing their only source of income.
@@NirvanaFan5000In fact you can look at their demands as this "you can automate the ports but you have to keep paying all of us." Which is an entirely reasonable request
why is anyone fearful? let it go. let robotics/ai do ALL the work so we can enjoy life and the pursuit of happiness and no be shouldered with the mundane existence of work, all work. Let it go.
Yes, so long as we can keep getting paid. Oh, sorry, don't think an employer is going to pay you for work that he essentially outsourced to an AI. Most people depend on their jobs for their living and not working just to keep from being board. No jobs, no living. Also, most people I know do not want to just subsist at the lowest level on the Government dole.
That’s the $64,000 question now isn’t it? That’s why some politicians are advocating for a base income for everyone. So people won’t be starving and sleeping on the streets! Better make a plan on what skills you should learn so you will be ready when it comes time to adapt.

The idea of humans becoming AI generalists hinges on the assumption that there's a unique human value in coordinating and leveraging multiple AI tools across domains. If AI agents are designed to be "expert generalists," they could theoretically outperform human generalists, making the role redundant. The short lived age of the 'AI Whisperer' is already drawing to a close.
So at some point humans will be able to speak to AI to create anything they want. From there it's possible to envision that you could just think what you want and bypass spoken language. Question may be, can we control our thoughts.
Yep! I'm writing all my scripts still with AI and having lots more fun doing it with a clone. Plus as I travel and speak more in 2025 I can still get good content out.
dude, i noticed that hair moves like video is played backwards, but lipsinck was flawless so my brain said f*ck it and belived.. i saw your comment after i finished watching whole thing
There's definite mouth shapes that while sync'd are not her natural movements. There's also a suspiciously limited amount of natural flowing movements in general from Julia herself while narrating the clip in certain sections. It's as if it was trained on a single model, or a short clip of Julia, remixing those body movements (sometimes in a very odd manor) while at that same time syncing her mouth motions to the audio (the audio itself was very flat, lifeless, and lacked dynamics). These inconsistencies seem to be the hallmarks of most AI generated content I've been witnessing lately. It's getting good but Julia is definitely trolling us on this one.
So we have an AI made video of an AI company avatar telling us that the world is ending unless we get on the AI train. You're a conduit for the near future AI overlords and you know it Julia.
Even food will be getting an *overhaul...I would imagine 3D printed food will be as common as a toaster in say the next 10 years or so...I mean, lab grown food is certainly a reality so if you add AI to the mix, people will be eating more 3d printed food in the future instead of regular food products...Not that I'm excited about artificial foods but it is certainly a spark waiting to be ignited...
The near future of AI, with everything from IoT and robots to web pages and phones is either accessing, assisted by, or driven by cloud AI, will implement increasingly sophisticated and post-human-level superintelligence both in existing heritage forums as well as a nearly infinite array of new forums. Imagine, if you will, coming to a street corner and hearing a voice coming from out of nowhere saying "watch that taxi, it's going to stop in front of you".. because the crosswalk button knows what the self-driving taxi is about to do.
AI is taking over the job market, better quit my day job and create RUclips videos full time instead, wouldn't mind :-) Seriously though, becoming an AI generalist is probably achievable for many, but will it be sufficient to actually be competitive on the job market? Or will there be no job market as we know it today when AI is rolled out to the labor market in a broad sense?
The closest thing will be the Labs I am building out with my team! We are going to give you the AI tools (bots) AND the training (30+ videos) on how to do it all. firstmovers.ai/labs

I still have to do most of the actual "work" of putting it all together and debugging it, but AI writes code far faster than I could ever hope to.
Eventually we will get to AI replacing human labor, and that will come one field at a time as AI improves in certain areas. But IMO that is still at least a decade or two away. We also have to consider how slow companies are to adopt new technologies. GitHub CoPilot for example is always lagging like a year behind on their models, and a year in the world of AI is an eternity. It's still a useful tool, but it sucks compared to using a browser AI.

Has made me much more productive and able to do things I never could before.
Thank he industry will open up opportunities that no one sees coming.

Exactly! Yeah, it can right code. And now try to get someone with close to zero IT experience to create something a bit more complicated than calculator and see what happens.
@@dmitryi3761 well, a few years ago I needed to use successive iteration to get points for a curve, my son tried to get AI to do it, it failed, so I had to write a spreadsheet and do it the old way.
i think you cloned yourself and it's actually gen AI talking in this vid! anybody else think so too?
I'm certain of it yep
Jerky body movements.
It's very obvious. The thing to look at is the progress. I first used AI img2video and text2voice almost 2 years ago. It is far from perfect now but it has come a long way. 1 or 2 more years it will be perfect.

The McKinsey prediction you are mentioning is incorrect. They are not saying that 50% will be automated by 2030. This is what they are stating:
"We have found that around 15 percent of the global workforce, or about 400 million workers, could be displaced by automation in the period 2016-2030. This reflects our midpoint scenario in projecting the pace and scope of adoption. Under the fastest scenario we have modeled, that figure rises to 30 percent, or 800 million workers."
The 50% are in regards to what they think is automatable by current standards. It's also written in the the screenshot you showed. "50% of current work activities are technically automatable by adapting currently demonstrated technologies". That's a pretty big difference.
Imo, semantics but yeah thats a big difference, so 15% will be unemployed, i am aure that includes all the uber or similar services drivers, costumer service employees and all the lower level jobs right?
You are absolutely correct. I just started a multi-media news and information service and I'm an Army of one doing literally everything myself, with the help of a few AI tools.
Can I ask what tools, I’m currently trying to figure out which ai tools work best for what
@nyhost101 First, what are you working on?
I went from not even knowing coding terms to writing a 70,000 line program. Being a professional in my field, I can now leverage my expertise and creativity whereas before, I had to communicate with a non expert to code a program that was 5% as good. Now I made probably the best app in my field starting from thin air and with the help of AI. At first I relied on it, and I learned SO FAST now I answer my own questions rather than ask it. It’s like the Matrix where they upload to your brain. All it takes is the will to “do” something, and now EVERYONE can! Most people don’t know yet.
Would you share your learning path to reached this. Was it coding you learn first, then AI? Which subjects and in which sequence. This info can help a lot of people who want to transition into this new type of work, create AI solution for business
@@GoodLife408t
1) Decided I wanted to make something complex, even though I did not know how. This is the most important part! I decided that "I AM GOING TO DO THIS".
2) Briefly started a tutorial video and said screw it, I'm jumping right in. You learn by DOING, NOT WATCHING !!!
3) Opened VSCODE and a chat GPT (3 back then) window and said "how do I start"? Often had to ask "what do you mean" to chat gpt because I did not know the terms it was using.
4) Started cobbling the program together. I would ask "how do I do this" and it gave some code, then I'd try it, modify it, paste it BACK into gpt telling it about problems or errors, and gpt sends back fixed iteration. Over and over and over again I did this. For the first few months, probably typed 100X more GPT text than actual code.
5) At some point, I found myself pausing mid "message", and not hitting send, because I knew how to do it myself. I had learned by DOING, literally soaking it up into my subconscious.
6) I often times went back OVER existing code to restructure it completely. This is because, when you are starting out, you "just want it to work". Then as the project grows, you realize you are unable to manage it the way it was written. Not to mention going back over and optimizing.
7) Now, I still ask it questions as it gets better (like o1) , but mainly now I'll give it a block of code and ask if it can be optimized any further.
8) If you have every dreamt of making an app or program, just know you can do it NOW. Or a myriad other things! EVERY PERSON can now do ANYTHING with enough gumption. HOW?
A) Open a chat gpt window. B) PASTE in a clear explanation of what you would like to accomplish (notice I did not say type). C) Finally, ask it "How do we start" ?
PS: GPT is a TOOL. YOU are the sculptor. GPT is "dumb". YOU are not.

One problem: We often think of the future as a fixed endpoint, but we forget that change itself is accelerating. It's like a runaway train in "The Matrix" that doesn't stop at a station. Nobody knows the future.
I agree with you 'nobody knows the future', yet here are two ideas aligned with 'nobody knows the future' that keep me optimistic.
1. As 'story-making-machines' humans always control the meaning of change. Yes, it's accelerating, AND we still can control the narrative and expression of that change.
2. The future emerges from a 'field of possibility'. Yes, we DON'T know the future, yet I know this much, we are currently living in the best instance of history when I reflect and compare the past with our present.
In the 'field of possibility' of our future, I'm very optimistic, especially if I align my/our efforts towards an intentional beautiful expression, come what may.
its quite funny actually to think that there is such a concept even of "the future" . i mean, one cant possiby somehow boil down to one big picture of Voila, this is the future. Such an abstract concept. As it seems that there are many smaller future bubbles- of nations, regions, cultures, groups , what ever... its like a big spectrum of all levels which are on the global plate... even today, there are versions and spots which are way in the year 2100 and other spots which are like in the 1500s... and stoneage.
@@taavetmalkov3295 It is not difficult to predict the future, it is the state of that future that is difficult to predict.
Totally agree. Most predictions of "the" future, including this one, predicts a future static situation. Big mistake for thee reasons you gave.
Exciting times to be an entrepreneur. I'm staggered so many of my friends are oblivious to this. This is something that business minded folks of the past literally dreamed about. AI is not taking our jobs, it's democratizing the ability to be an business owner.
There will always be a need for good engineers with good critical thinking skills and good problem-solving ability.
So everyone saying there won’t be, including Jensen Huang himself, is *wrong.*

I think the biggest thing people should be thinking is how do I gain ownership of something that generates me enough money to live. Because the idea of I just need to get a good job that pays well is going to go away.
Yep. I have been thinking and researching along the same lines; trying to find and AI powered opportunity that run's by itself constantly generating income 24/7. Any good leads on this? Thanks.
I agree. that good paying jobs are already gone, if you look online or on RUclips that most software engineers are loosing their jobs and having trouble looking for work in Software Engineering or Development. It seems that good programmers are putting themselves out of a job. I think the more AI becomes better the more good paying jobs will disappear.
I'm almost 5 years into my AI Journey, and I love it here!
Such a two-edged sword! Yes, you can do the work of ten, but so can the guy sitting next to you. You may both be fired because the receptionist can do this too, and she also answers the phones (for now).
Bang! You just hit the nail on the head regarding the dark side of using AI. Massive layoffs will ensue. Not everybody will be able to retrain as an "AI generalist" any more than all of the displaced automobile workers could when robots replaced them on the production line; no then, not ever. What are all of those displaced information workers going to do with themselves? How is the government going to take care of all of those citizens (basic Universal Minimum Income?); don't even get me started on this latter.
@@danieldykes4172 Its amazing how far and how fast things are moving in terms of automation, it started with Human Labor, then machines came to play, now those who worked in the Automobile or Factory settings no longer work in these settings since its all automated and robotics, yes they may have Robotics Technician working there and maybe be safe for now. NOW its the Information Worker or IT workers loosing their jobs due to AI.
@@tadmarshall2739 just curious - how many businesses you know still have receptionists that answer phones? How many businesses do you call daily that are answered by a human and not an annoying recorded option menu?
@ My last job had a receptionist. You could call the company's phone number and she'd answer. This was not a megacorp, just a medium sized software company.

it took an hour
Julia, there are a great many people out there who simply let life happen to them. The chances of helping them are slim to none. I am sure you have met them before. It is a sad truth that some people do not like being alive. I used to be one until I met my wife.
I’d say if you remove that
many jobs and don’t replace
those employees incomes you won’t have a building to compute any longer.
Those AI generalists will all be out of a job a year after everyone else.
Last year I hired a team of Developers. I had six on my team and none of them could accomplish what I have been able to accomplish using simply AI in less than 3 months. The amount of money it cost me in paying Developers for subpar work, I could have saved that money and allocated it towards marketing. However I have built an AI generated children's song creator that is personalized and will hit the market in less than 2 weeks period and it was just me and chat GPT.
The inspidness of AI will set in soon. You'll see.
You’re seeing the paradigm shift in real time. This is the future.
I’m in IT, and I’m scared to death, so much so that I didn’t take a promotion to work 100% remote. I’m going to stay onsite.
Relax, you can compete for a choreographer job.
Along with billions of the rest of us.
I don't get this logic, not your logic personally, but the logic that if you turn up to the office instead of WFH, your boss won't notice that your job can be automated.
@@Chuck_Hooks Based 🤣🤣🤣
@@cordfortina9073 I guess it all depends on the boss. If they are even half decent, they may think twice if they can see your face every day.
Although, even that won't work forever. But honestly, the scariest part is when you realize that entire companies can be replaced...
I've been in IT for 15 years... I am getting my Ai Practitioner Cert from AWS by the end of January... and trying to find ways to use Ai at my job to give every excuse for them to see me as the Ai Prompter they need rather than see me as a cost that they can replace... I agree man... it is scary to see how fast Ai is melting away everything we have been relied on for decades.
Changing at the speed of light. This is what it feels like as a digital agency owner. It used to be once a month or quarter we would see “amazing updates”. Now it happens daily. I am seeing how leveraging Ai and agents, still supervised by humans will give scale like we’ve never imagined. One question: as Ai agents answer our emails, create and interact with social media, who and how will decisions truly occur? Also, how will businesses and advertisers, looking at data, determine if the interaction was that of a human or Ai?
What's the point of having a company if nobody is going to have money to buy? Who are you going to market to?
UBI will come into play in the next 4 years or less to balance out the lack of jobs due to automation of labor. Consumerism itself will change dramatically as cost decreases. I think it can turn into UHI (Elon Musk's idea) and afford natural, healthy living for everyone if it is decentralized properly.
The book I just released, Liberation Through the Machines, paints a picture of a future where we can all share in equal distributions from the benefits of the automation of labor - and finally be freed up from the work we don't love to do anyways and shouldn't be doing either (hunched over at desks 8+ hours a day isn't what we were born to do). So I see it like a completely healthy paradigm shift for humanity. But we've got to get it right.
@@JuliaMcCoy I think UBI will come into play, but it will take more time and turmoil to come into effect. A huge army of the unemployed and dozens of trillion dollar companies will force change. Just bought your new audio book, looking forward to listening to it!
Bingo. Universal healthy income anyone? Possible, courtesy of AI and a twist of anti-greed regulation.
Gov will tax companies, then there'll be a fund for those out of work so that they can continue to buy products, and might even be able to own shares in the AI companies and participate in their governance to represent the interests of people. Plus, people will find and create new jobs.
100% of office jobs could be automated by 2026?! That's a howler.
The rise of AI generalists is such an intriguing concept. It’s fascinating to think about how adaptability in leveraging AI tools can redefine career landscapes. Excited to see where this trend leads.
Lawyers will be one of the first to fall, and rightly so.
I've been praying for that for years. The law is THE LAW - it's literally written down. And while humans must always interpret laws [since, like, we wrote it and all...], I'd much rather see it put into practice by a system with perfect and infinite recall - the same way we rely on calculators rather than people when doing math. AI doesn't have to make a final decision on anything - but it should certainly be used to compile evidence and compare with precedents in case law -
@@atlanteum But what about the emotion that's involved in a trial case with jurors? Or the skill that's involved in getting a witness or the accused to say the wrong thing? Could an AI lawyer have got Colonel Jessup to confess in the way that Tom Cruise did in a Few Good Men?
@@danquixote6072 I said AI should be put to use for it's capacity for recalling law, facts, cases and precedents, and that humans must interpret the laws. Bad lawyers who are unfamiliar with or misinterpret law do massive damage to our legal system. If both sides had full, instant, and nearly cost-free access to information, it would - I believe - increase the chances of actual justice being carried out.
@@danquixote6072 You were addressing the challenges of extracting truth and revealing deception thru trials and investigations - a critical skill set, of course. I was referring more to having inexpensive and instantaneous access to encyclopedic volumes of case law on which those investigations may be built and improved.
Yay! You nailed the video length! 😉 8 minutes is the sweet spot for YT vids.
wtf
The people about to be displaced need to form a political party. AI seriously needs to be controlled and contained. We should pull the plug until we have a true understanding of its ramifications. In the meantime, you might want to rewatch the Matrix Trilogy and the Terminator movies.
That's what I was thinking.
I am a therapist. I'm sorry, but I don't share your optimism about the drastic changes that AI is going to bring. For one, these shifts are going to happen far too rapidly for many people to adapt to them successfully. Secondly, even in a "best case" scenario, you are talking about countless millions of people losing their jobs. Even in a so-called "leisure economy," this would be an unmitigated disaster. For the majority of humanity, work doesn't simply provide a means of meeting basic needs; it also functions as a form of psychotherapy, providing meaning and purpose, as well as a barrier that keeps many from descending into mental and moral illness. Without purposeful employment, human beings are likely to collapse into narcissism, mental and physical weakness, and despair.

Third worlder here... great video btw
I am very much in same line of thinking and could not agree more.

Also, isn't there an adaptability factor? Ok, AI will be there, but who is going to have the knowledge to use it right away? It takes time for people to adapt to changes
Everything will be free because robots don't require wages.
Incorrect. The whole drive of AI is to enhance profit - as a functional extension of Capitalism -> the robots and their owners will charge for whatever they provide, but if Joe Public is skint, what is the point of such delusion i.e. a free market hinges on the availability of a flowing available money supply from clients with disposible income -> who is this going to be? -> robots bartering and transacting with other robots maybe?
Typist used to be a job. People will create new value propositions in the economy. Alot of income is disposable and hence, the economy on the supply side. The cost of things will go down.
Sam Altman and many other A.I. companies and governments have been doing research to address this problem. Universal Basic Income is their focus.
This is great content and I believe you are correct.

legit good advice
Why would I need consultation from your company if I could just use an AI agent to create my marketing plan?
I do believe that collective Superintelligence should be the way forward. We merge and form as one unit.
The question is where to start and what to learn. The video doesn't explain what AI's to focus on or even really what to learn. I'm sure a lot of people are interested, but guidance is needed.
Very helpful!!!
Which tools are you talking about that we should start learning?
Thank you soo much
my business is AI -Driven ... No humans - as I say, AI is the "great equalizer"
AI isn't usually accurate enough in the actual information it puts out! Great episode! 👍
This is definitely a big opportunity for those who have any knowledge of how to use the new "AI" tools that are available today. However, those that think its going to replace your job 100% are truely mistaken. Remember computers can't think, they just run algorithms and are error prone. The rule of garbage in / garbage out still stands.
The models keep getting larger and more complicated. Promoters are speaking and writing of there ability to "reason." add to that the ability to actually reach out and do things with that newly generated information via Agentic Swarms, and you essentially have an Information Worker that can produce new content and take actions 100x to 1000x faster than you or I can.
I think you missed the point of AI. AI can learn and apply what they learn without humans directing them. The jobs that will require human thinking and interaction will be in industries like healthcare, landscaping, building and construction, harvesting and farming… for example, until the robots show up. A job that once took multiple people might only require one person and all the other jobs will be automated. So everyone will be competing for that one human position. Lots will change and people who deny or ignore what’s coming will be left wondering what happened and be far behind struggling to catch up. Not a good place to be if you have bills to pay or a family to feed.

The math won’t add up. Either 10 people can be replaced by an “army of one” leaving 9 with no roles, or all 10 will each be “armies of one” but then no efficiency has been introduced in the system. More likely, one person finds a place in the lifeboat and 9 are swimming alongside.

Hi Julia, with all the jobs being replaced who will have the money to spend on the products being marketed? Do you think the "I" in "UBI" will be high enough to buy the products that will be sold by the AI agents?

@JuliaMcCoy Thank you for your insight. Like you and Shapiro, I am an accelerationist when it comes to AI. After business school, I have become concerned about keeping inflation under control and prices down. It makes me angry that costs are staying high because groups like the Long Shoremen are trying to ban any new technology at the port causing increasing costs for the American consumer. Ultra-modern ports in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East can now load and unload ships 80% faster than our ports and still have 1400 jobs like the port in Antwerp. I would like to catch up to nations like China, Sweden, and Japan in automation for manufacturing, warehousing, and the whole supply chain to help make American goods cheaper and increase exports. Also, modern farming with AI and advanced robotics will bring down the cost of food.
@@CMDRScotty : I think that the longshoremen and a thousand other professions are right to be skeptical and pushback on tech that is likely to put them out of a job. Until we have a UBI or other sufficient system, everyone is going to resist losing their only source of income.

I would like to learn more about running a bot. How can I contact yall for help
why is anyone fearful?
let it go.
let robotics/ai do ALL the work so we can enjoy life and the pursuit of happiness and no be shouldered with the mundane existence of work, all work. Let it go.
Yes, so long as we can keep getting paid. Oh, sorry, don't think an employer is going to pay you for work that he essentially outsourced to an AI. Most people depend on their jobs for their living and not working just to keep from being board. No jobs, no living. Also, most people I know do not want to just subsist at the lowest level on the Government dole.
As long as the bank accepts my happiness for my mortgage payment! They are always the last to catch up!
Well your ai looks very realistic and behaves very realistic
@@HardKore5250 I take that as a compliment. 😄
@@JuliaMcCoyty!😀 and your welcome
Then what all the people will do those who are replace??
That’s the $64,000 question now isn’t it? That’s why some politicians are advocating for a base income for everyone. So people won’t be starving and sleeping on the streets! Better make a plan on what skills you should learn so you will be ready when it comes time to adapt.

The idea of humans becoming AI generalists hinges on the assumption that there's a unique human value in coordinating and leveraging multiple AI tools across domains. If AI agents are designed to be "expert generalists," they could theoretically outperform human generalists, making the role redundant. The short lived age of the 'AI Whisperer' is already drawing to a close.
Wait. What tool have you used here?
So at some point humans will be able to speak to AI to create anything they want. From there it's possible to envision that you could just think what you want and bypass spoken language. Question may be, can we control our thoughts.
'....The Army of two, the Army of many....'
The fundamental message here is undermined by AI. Because, AI will also replace us by acting on behalf of the consumer.
Looks like you're using an AI version of yourself in this.
Yep! I'm writing all my scripts still with AI and having lots more fun doing it with a clone. Plus as I travel and speak more in 2025 I can still get good content out.
As far as reaching out and communication goes, have you looked into have an agent reply to things like yt comments?
Will we ever see the real Juila McCoy again? The AI audio on this is quite amazing. Impossible to know it's not her without corresponding video.
dude, i noticed that hair moves like video is played backwards, but lipsinck was flawless so my brain said f*ck it and belived.. i saw your comment after i finished watching whole thing
Is she using synthesia?
In the near future it may very well be impossible to tell who is real anymore on the internet. We are so close.
voice sounds so robotic to me.
There's definite mouth shapes that while sync'd are not her natural movements. There's also a suspiciously limited amount of natural flowing movements in general from Julia herself while narrating the clip in certain sections. It's as if it was trained on a single model, or a short clip of Julia, remixing those body movements (sometimes in a very odd manor) while at that same time syncing her mouth motions to the audio (the audio itself was very flat, lifeless, and lacked dynamics). These inconsistencies seem to be the hallmarks of most AI generated content I've been witnessing lately. It's getting good but Julia is definitely trolling us on this one.
So we have an AI made video of an AI company avatar telling us that the world is ending unless we get on the AI train. You're a conduit for the near future AI overlords and you know it Julia.
OUTSTANDING, JULIA!!
The Queen of Silicone is going to lead us into the A.I. future!!!
Ha ha, this was interrupted by an ad for an AI agent that I though, for a second, was part of the video 🤪
Issue is cost. Power, Cooling and hardware. Its going to be slower than you think, probubly < a decade.
i see this is a great thing to me as well
Even food will be getting an *overhaul...I would imagine 3D printed food will be as common as a toaster in say the next 10 years or so...I mean, lab grown food is certainly a reality so if you add AI to the mix, people will be eating more 3d printed food in the future instead of regular food products...Not that I'm excited about artificial foods but it is certainly a spark waiting to be ignited...
The near future of AI, with everything from IoT and robots to web pages and phones is either accessing, assisted by, or driven by cloud AI, will implement increasingly sophisticated and post-human-level superintelligence both in existing heritage forums as well as a nearly infinite array of new forums. Imagine, if you will, coming to a street corner and hearing a voice coming from out of nowhere saying "watch that taxi, it's going to stop in front of you"..
because the crosswalk button knows what the self-driving taxi is about to do.
AI is taking over the job market, better quit my day job and create RUclips videos full time instead, wouldn't mind :-) Seriously though, becoming an AI generalist is probably achievable for many, but will it be sufficient to actually be competitive on the job market? Or will there be no job market as we know it today when AI is rolled out to the labor market in a broad sense?
Hey Julia. Is there an AI assisted software that's on one platform we can purchase to learn and execute these four fundamentals?
The closest thing will be the Labs I am building out with my team! We are going to give you the AI tools (bots) AND the training (30+ videos) on how to do it all. firstmovers.ai/labs
When people won't have jobs, who would buy the products of your clients?
UBI will come into play in the next 4 years or less to balance out the lack of jobs due to automation of labor. Consumerism itself will change dramatically as cost decreases. I think it can turn into UHI (Elon Musk's idea) and afford natural, healthy living for everyone if it is decentralized properly.
The book I just released, Liberation Through the Machines, paints a picture of a future where we can all share in equal distributions from the benefits of the automation of labor - and finally be freed up from the work we don't love to do anyways and shouldn't be doing either (hunched over at desks 8+ hours a day isn't what we were born to do). So I see it like a completely healthy paradigm shift for humanity. But we've got to get it right.
She keeps replying to every comment with this same automated spam. All to funnel to her book and whatever this UBI trash is.
@@hellyworld9325 lol, no, it’s my default comment because this is very dense to understand and I took a lot of time to write this out. Your comment shows your reasoning capabilities are limited.
@@JuliaMcCoy If you took a lot of time to write it out then it wouldnt be word for word the same in EVERY response 🤣
Julia McCoy is a rockstar!
See how ai and a creative, playful attitude gave me the ability to do this.
Is the video AI generated?
Where I kinda get off the boat with you though is when it comes to agency, AGI will be able to do all this without manual human input, all prompting will do is slow everything down so why would you want to handicap it like that? Prompt engineering isn’t gonna last the next year or two. It’s a fad. ASI will be able to do all of this without manual prompting.
Was that really Julia or was it AI generated Julia. I kind of think it was ai.
