There's a mindset of, first of all, the world was built by people that are not much smarter than you.
And
There are a lot of rules that are accidental, that are there for historical reasons.
And your job is to find a path to the future, find the way of doing things that's most aligned where the world is headed.
Because the advice your teachers, your parents are going to give you are just not valid anymore.
My generation, like millennials, the advice that the boomers would give us is that you work hard, you get into good university, you check this box, this other box, you get a job, you buy a house and a car, get a family, that's it.
A few years in, 20 years later, you're a millionaire because your house property went up value.
And you retire and live happily ever after.
That doesn't exist.
That does like existed for like 20, 30 years post-World War II.
And then it's gone.
So it's not about cheating.
It's about figuring out how the system is rigged against you.
And how do you actually hack it?
How do you get past it?
How do you...
How do you do things in a way that is more native and true to where the world is headed today?
AI is a great tool for that.
Just the fact, if you're someone who just understands how these tools work and understand how you have an amazing time advantage, you can do things a lot faster.
Again, there are a lot of programmers that are still doing programming the old way, and they're going very, very slow, and they're going to continue to go very slow until they get obsoleted.
