I have a tenured job at a state university, and I am not personally worried about my future—not at age 63. But I do ask myself every day how I will stay relevant, and how I will avoid being someone who is riding off the slow decay of a system that cannot last. … It amazes me how many people do not much ponder these questions. "Oh, it hallucinates!" is the fool's trap of 2025, I am sorry to say.
I don't know what comes next either. But I'm also struck by how many people are currently either unaware of the coming tidal wave of AI progress (both realized and unrealized), or, if they're aware, respond to it with denial rather than fear/cautious optimism.
