In AI, learning is winning. While Thursday’s newsletter discusses the present, the Leaders segment on Sundays/Mondays will inform you of future trends in AI and provide actionable insights to set you apart from the rest.

It writes. It talks. It’s even flirtatious on command. Ever-supporting and ever-helpful. Worst of all, it’s not human, so it doesn’t sleep, and it doesn’t need to stop for a break.

Always willing, ever-obedient, always present.

All things considered, it might come after your job or company. There’s no way to sugarcoat this; with every new technological revolution, some survive, some perish.

That said, the AI revolution could have the most dramatic effect on jobs ever, potentially eliminating the need for them. And before you laugh and dismiss this, Elon Musk and Sam Altman defend this precise idea.

Decades from now, we might even compare it to the discovery of fire or agriculture, step-function improvements that elevated humanity to new heights, as King Charles III recently suggested.

But here’s the thing: You must not be willing to just wait and see if that’s true; you must take action.

For those reasons, last week we covered the ‘Am I Getting Steamrolled by AI?’ Framework, an easy-to-understand, practical guide to evaluating your current strength against AI’s winds of change.

But that framework was never a static exercise; it must evolve alongside AI. Thus, this week, we are covering what research predicts is the natural evolution of frontier AI, and what considerations and actions you can take today to future-proof yourself… and your kids’.

The Inevitability of Change

What used to take years will now take months; what takes months will turn into weeks, and weeks into days.

On Thursday, we saw how ChatGPT-4o, OpenAI’s new flagship model, coded an entire game in less than 60 seconds with no bugs. A programmer’s week-long project is now a mere 60 seconds away from people who can’t even code.

AI isn’t only changing things; it’s doing so fast. For those reasons, we are covering what cutting-edge research says about AI's short- and long-term future to give you an overarching idea of ‘what…
