Dan 'AI Oracle' Shipper: "I think the AI job apocalypse is not really a thing ... The only thing you need to do is ride the models, they extend your powers in a way that doesn't leave you behind"

Summary

In a podcast summary, Dan Shipper argues that AI will not cause a job apocalypse; instead, automation will increase human work because each AI agent requires human oversight. He emphasizes that actively using and experimenting with AI tools is key to career success.

Dan Shipper goes full AI oracle mode in his last podcast with Lenny ([summary of the episode here](https://www.podtyper.com/transcriptions/the-ai-paradox-more-automation-more-humans-more-work-dan-shi-a178)). Basically, he's saying that: * The 'AI job apocalypse' is unlikely; automation will lead to more work for humans, not less, as every agent needs a human to care for it. * The ability to 'ride the models' by actively using, experimenting with, and applying new AI tools to one's work is crucial for career success. I see how AI literacy is important **today**, but can one really say that job apocalypse is not a possibility with how things are progressing? I for one see a future not so optimistic for the middle class of today..
