great post Mark!

Regarding this question "What skills will be needed in the coming times?", I am reminded on the myth of Sisyphus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Myth_of_Sisyphus

The idea of continually reskilling and upskilling, only to potentially face displacement again, reminds me of Sisyphus and the boulder.

If i get displaced by AI And am forced to reskill and upskill only to get displaced by AI in 4-5 years, I will be pretty demoralized, haha.

Some of the the skills needed for the future you hypnotized are interesting and I have not really thought about like initiative, extroversion, virtue, resilience. I need to think about them some more. I agree overall that as AI tools cover technical skills, the rare and valuable skills go from coding to soft skills like interpersonal communication and leading people.

I think Gen AI skills, imagination/creativity, and domain-specific knowledge tasks are ripe for automation with the next generation of AI models.
