And is there a job you kind of think you want to steer them towards?

Okay, so zooming out a little bit, let me ask you a meta question.

Lenny's Podcast: Product | Career | Growth
A rational conversation on where AI is actually going | Benedict Evans

What's a question about AI that you think nobody's asking yet or not enough people are asking that we should be asking ourselves?

So maybe three years ago, four years ago, the last profession you think would be automated is engineering and coding.

It's like, that feels like the hardest thing.

That's like, we're going to need people to build these things.

What would be a couple of things you recommend people do knowing what you know to be more successful in this future?

I think that is actually very actionable and, and very consistent advice on the podcast is just, just do stuff, build it, don't just sit around and pontificate and be, be pissed at what's happening.
