Survival Areas
Work & Money
Automation is moving faster than hiring plans. This hub keeps you ahead of layoffs, deskilling, and income volatility so you can keep earning through the AI reset.
What’s happening
Work & Money right now
Open models and on-device AI are erasing the friction that once slowed automation. Output jumps without headcount growth, and backfill requests quietly disappear long before a layoff memo drops.
What to do now
Mini checklist
- Audit your weekly tasks: what can AI already do, and how do you stay the human in the loop?
- Ship visible work every week that uses AI to multiply impact, not just shave minutes.
- Build a personal portfolio that shows outcomes, not prompts—evidence you’re indispensable.
- Diversify income streams early: advisory gigs, micro-products, or project-based work.
