About frank and far-reaching discussions Nikhil Kamath’s YouTube channelLegendary Venture Capitalist Vinod Khosla,one wealthThe most powerful person In the business, some advice is provided for Gen Z. This can be seen as a stark warning or simple pragmatism: At present, the most important skill of young workers is not specialization, but the ability to learn quickly and adapt continuously. His reasoning is simple and profound: “Chatgpt can teach you any new field,” the traditional academic path and fixed skills are getting obsolete. The title of this episode is more blunt:”A college degree becomes useless. ”
Sun Microsystems co-founder is known for his counter-trend view and firm certainty in the possibility of technology, and it maps the future of artificial intelligence (AI) that will fundamentally change the job market. He asserted: “In the next three to five years, AI will not be able to do 80% of the jobs. He explained that the vast majority of job functions will be copied by AI, so 80% of the 80% estimates. It recalls Sam Altman’s Proposition AI will lead to “intellectual ability is too cheap to measure”.
It looks like ten to 15 years, Khosla said, he believes that “no chance for humans to do AI work can hardly be the same.” He allowed some minor exceptions and said that even cardiac or brain surgery, theoretically AI should be able to be at high levels, although regulation may not allow. He believes that this change is faster than in the past 50 years, requiring a fundamental change in the way young people develop their careers.
For a 22-year-old, wondering where to focus their efforts, Khosla’s advice is obvious: “You have to optimize your career, not a single one.” He stressed that the value of learning is not to master specific trades such as welding, finance, and even accounting, but to develop the “learning ability” itself. He claimed that at the age of 70, he learned much faster than ever before, and every young man should work hard for that ability. This includes thinking from first principles and jumping into various fields, whether it is physics, biology or finance, as AI tools will help to quickly acquire new knowledge.
Hosla believes that even disciplines such as computer science have less value in programming expertise (which AI is increasingly dealing with) for “thinking processes”, understanding the systems and architectures they give. He believes that the ultimate goal of young people is to choose a path of “compounds of your knowledge and ability over time” that reflects the principle of financial complexity in knowledge acquisition.
Quality of entrepreneurs
For aspiring entrepreneurs, Hosra suggests strategic focus because he believes anyone in an industry that does not use AI will be outdated by people using the tool. While AI may democratize technology, success will depend on the natural “quality of entrepreneurs” – the ability to think strategically, envision long-term goals, choose the right team and wisely choose the people they trust. Khosla believes that the current shortage is not technology or capital, but “great entrepreneurs who know how to make these choices”.
Exceed In personal careers, Khosla and Kamath talk about the wider impact of AI on the economy. Hosra said the cost of many things should be reduced, acts as a deflationary force for many services, and envisions an AI-driven utopian future where education, medical expertise and legal advice would be “almost free.” He speculated that in 20 to 25 years, $10,000 might buy more goods and services than $50,000 today due to the deflationary effects of machines that provide abundant services.
Generation Z open career path
Khosla is far from the only thought leader to have a Gen Z job prospect in the AI era. Dario Amodei, the personified CEO, and Jensen Huang, NVIDIA CEO The constant heated war of words In the former’s doomsday forecast, 50% of all white-collar jobs will be eliminated. Geoffrey Hintonthe so-called “Godfather of AI” largely agreed with Amodei, saying only “very skilled” jobs will continue to be employed. Huang and Fed Chairman Jerome Powell To a large extent, Khosla agreed that creativity and constant learning would create new jobs for the economy in a virtuous cycle.
Jan Hatzius, chief economist at Goldman Sachs, studied the data and responded to Khosla’s argument that college degrees are losing value, finding “Safety premium“College degrees are disappearing. Berkeley economist Brad Deron Agreeing that a college degree is losing its status, but blaming the blame for AI on policy uncertainty that plagued the economy, argues that many Gen Z college graduates are at a disadvantage because the conditions are too risky for most companies. Goldman Sachs seems to agree with Delonfound that in July, AI was exaggerated the reasons why most companies lay off employees. Meanwhile, the Fed is not selling completely on the revolutionary prospects of artificial intelligence, believing that it may be a revolutionary invention like a motor generator, but may ultimately promote a boost to productivity Like a light bulb.
As far as Generation Z is concerned, it seems to crave more human connections. Starbucks recently announced It will move the sunset only, be considered more attractive to Gen Z, and desire a “friction-free” experience to re-emphasize hospitality and human connection. This generation has been criticizing their lack of successful social skills and stereotypes.Generation Z’s gazeIn the center of the conversation. As far as the career website Glassdoor is concerned, it pierces the myth.Consciously untie“Despite AI, Zers Gen gen found that they are at the exact same historical speed as any other generation.
Ultimately, Khosla’s message for the next generation is one of the relentless pursuits of learning and adaptability. In a world that is rapidly reshaped by AI, the ability to constantly reshape yourself and accept new knowledge can be the ultimate difference between survival and success. After all, humans have endless abilities to learn new things.
