Artificially Indispensable

FabrizioLeave a comment

Artificial Intelligence is going to change the world. Perhaps.

But it’s not going to do it on its own. So the opportunity for all those who are interested in digging further is to become an expert in using AI to create efficiencies in different areas. That’s how you make it a more human tool and how you position yourself as indispensable in the job market.

Nobody is looking for the one who resisted the new technology until it hit the masses.

Input

Write three paragraphs about how blogging will be in 2033. Use some funny predictions with a hint of reality. Be creative.

Output

In 2033, blogging will be a dramatically different experience from what we know today. For starters, blogs will no longer require you to use a computer or laptop at all! It’s possible that by then every single person on earth will have an implanted device with an artificial intelligence that connects us directly to the internet and each other. We’ll be able to blog from our brains, with a single thought sending out a message to the world.

No longer will we have to go through the hassle of typing or clicking on buttons; instead, our thoughts and ideas will be transmitted within seconds. We won’t even need words anymore as blogging technology has advanced so much that pictures, videos, and even feelings will be automatically broadcasted to others.

Another major change that we’ll see by 2033 is the ability for us to blog in virtual reality. This means that people won’t have to just read our words, they’ll be able to experience them too! You can imagine walking into a room and being surrounded by other people’s blogs, each presented in a unique and vivid way that captures the reader’s attention like no other medium can.

Blogging is sure to be an amazing experience by 2033, and it will be exciting to see how technology continues to evolve and shape the way we communicate with one another. Who knows what else might be possible that we can’t even imagine now!

Supporting

If you are going to interview for a startup, between 30 and 100 employees, spend your focus probing one thing: what is the role of the founders?

That’s a critical phase for a founder to change their role: from guiding force to supporting resource. All the energy, the motivation, the knowledge, the urge that has led the founders to start the company needs to be passed over for it to scale, and the only way to do that is if the founders are capable to take a supporting role and let go of things, responsibilities, decisions.

It’s not really a matter of roles or of titles, but a matter of attitude. Look at three things.

  1. The tenure of the people who have joined the startup in the second phase, from 15 to 40 employees. If they leave soon, particularly if they have previous experience and success, that’s a sign the founders are still very much in control.
  2. The way the company spends money to train and promote (promising) employees. If there’s little to no money invested in personal development, salary adjustments, perks and benefits, that’s a sign the founders are still very much in control.
  3. The dynamic of the leadership team, the people who manage people. If there’s separation, factions, silos instead of unity, togetherness, mutual projects, that’s a sign the founders are still very much in control.

It’s important, because when founders act as a support to a growing company, it can be a beautiful opportunity. When they aim at retaining control, instead, well that’s not for everybody.

New and old

What will the new year bring?

The end of the year is not an eraser. Just like you do not become immediately wise and adult the day you turn 18 (or 21), the new year will not give you a new you, free of old fears, uncertainties, pains, and problems.

So, the question really is: are you ready to handle all of that in 2023, and perhaps make something out of it?

If the answer is no, there is your new year resolution.

Incremental

One time is better than no time.

Two times is better than one time.

Three times is better than two times.

And so on.

That’s the great thing about showing up, consistently, time after time. It’s continuous, incremental progress.

Of course, you can also try to go from no time to ten times, but that’s probably going to take a lot of your resources. And it’s not the way you can build habits.

Ready to go

For how long will you sit on the bench, waiting for someone to pick you, to give you instructions, to confirm your worth?

Life’s not a game with a clearly delimited field, written rules, and a given amount of players.

You are already warmed up and ready to go.

Just take the first step.
