📝 How to Protect Your Job from AI — Tips from Paul Graham Worried about AI taking your job? You’re not alone! Articles pop up all the time claiming AI will wipe out this or that profession. Paul Graham, co-founder of Y Combinator, shared some fascinating thoughts on this topic. Here’s the gist: "It’s a mistake to ask which jobs are safest from AI. The truth is, AI excels not in specific jobs but in specific approaches to work—it thrives on routine tasks. So steer clear of those! Is programming safe from AI? Definitely not at the entry level—those roles are already disappearing! But top-tier programmers (like those who can launch their own startups) still rake in serious cash. The best defense against AI? Master your craft so well that you’re way above basic tasks. This means avoiding jobs that mainly consist of routine work. But here’s the kicker: being deeply interested in what you do makes all the difference! It’s tough to be exceptional if you’re not passionate about it. So if I had to sum up my advice in one line: find work that fascinates you so much that you’ll outshine any AI!" So, don’t sweat it—focus on leveling up! 🚀✨ #AI #CareerAdvice
