This is something he said like 30 years ago.
He said there's a repeating pattern of how new technology is received by the different age cohorts in society.
He said if you are – when a new technology arrives, whatever it is, in this case AI –
Um, he said, if you're below the age of 15, he said, this is just how the world's always work.
It's just obvious.
Um, um, and then if you're between the ages of 15 to 35, this is cool and nifty and you can probably get a, you know, get a career, uh, using it.
And then if you're above the age of 35, this is unholy, uh, and against everything that society stands for and should absolutely be destroyed.
Um, and so I think that, um, I think that, uh, I think 15 to 35 and especially 15 to 25 right now, like I, yeah, I am very jealous.
Like I, I, I, I, I, yeah.
I generally don't wish I could go back in time and do things over again, but it would be really, really fun right now to be 18 or 20 or 22 and to have this capability and figure out what I could do with it.
And we're, it's funny, we at AsyncZ are trying to hire more of these people because they're AI native and they're going to help us become more AI native.
By the way, this is the thing.
There's this narrative right now.
Part of the Doomer narrative is, oh, companies are never going to hire junior employees again.
The new generation is screwed because companies are never going to hire junior employees again because those are the most easily replaced by AI, and so companies are only ever going to have senior people.
And I believe the opposite is true.
I think 100%.
You want the AI-native kids.
The AI-native kids are going to outperform their older-led peers, like, gigantically.
No, their older peers who are not Luddites are also going to do great.
