Jim VandeHei

It's coming, and it's coming fast.

And what I tell our employees, what I tell my kids, there are scary outcomes from it.

But the thing you can do to give yourself the best possible chance to thrive with it is to learn it.

Figure out how do I utilize this as a force multiplier of the work that I do or the passions that I hold.

and play with Gemini, play with ChatGPT, play with Claude, see which one works best for you.

And if you can integrate it into the work that you do and offload this work you don't want to do or the tasks in life you don't want to do, suddenly you're going to become exponentially more productive and you're going to be fluent in the first technology that speaks Jim.

It speaks English.

You just talk to it.

You don't need to be a fancy coder.

You don't necessarily need to be

exceptionally bright.

If you are creative, you have an idea, you can offer context, have a little bit of patience, a little bit of persistence, you're going to produce something really neat.

And so I worry like you do.

I live in Washington and I talk to people who are running companies.

I talk to people in government and they're divorced from it.

So it's not just you.

If you're listening to this and you're like, I'm still scared.

I'm telling you, lawmakers, government, CEOs, they're scared too.

You're on equal footing with them.

If you just jump in today and you start to learn it, you're going to have a leg up over other people.
