The AGI Revolution - Time to Level Up or Get Left Behind
What to do about the AI revolution and how
Here's a mind-bending stat: By 2026, AI will be handling tasks that 85% of people today think only humans can do.
Wild, right?
Remember when your grandpa refused to use a smartphone because his flip phone "worked just fine"? That's about to be you with AGI... unless you read this newsletter π
Let's dive into why AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) isn't just another tech buzzword, and how you can ride this wave instead of getting crushed by it.
"The biggest career risk isn't AGI taking your job. It's other humans who understand (& use) AGI taking your opportunities."
The Great Career Divide π
Picture this:
Two lawyers walk into a courtroom today.
Lawyer A: Spent 20 hours preparing briefs manually
Lawyer B: Used AI to prepare in 2 hours and spent 18 hours refining strategy
Who wins?
(Spoiler: It's not even close)
The Secret Weapon Nobody's Talking About π€«
Here's what's interesting...
Everyone's freaking out about AI replacing jobs. But they're missing something huge:
The real opportunity isn't in fighting AI β it's in becoming a "Human+" professional.
Think of it like this:
Regular professionals use their skills
Smart professionals use AI tools
Elite professionals combine both in ways nobody else has figured out yet

The Million-Dollar Skillset π°οΈ
Want to know what skills will matter in the AGI world?
Spoiler: It's not coding (AI will do that better than us soon anyway).
The real money is in:
Emotional Intelligence: Because robots still suck at understanding human feelings
Creative Problem Solving: Coming up with solutions AI wouldn't think of
AI Prompting: Being able to "speak AI" will be like knowing English in the business world
3 Ways to Stay Ahead π
Experiment Early, Fail Fast: Start using every AI tool you can get your hands on. Build your "AI intuition" before everyone else does.
Document Your Wins: Keep track of how you're using AI to improve your work. This becomes your career insurance policy.
Build Your Human Network: The best opportunities will come from other humans who understand AI's potential.
"The best time to prepare for AGI was last year. The second best time is now."
The Bottom Line
Remember Blockbuster? They thought Netflix was just a fad. Remember Kodak? They thought digital cameras were a toy. Remember taxi companies? They thought Uber was just an app.
Don't be Blockbuster in the AGI revolution.
The future isn't happening to you β it's happening for you. But only if you grab it.
In the AGI world, the most valuable skill will be knowing how to be uniquely human.
Until next timeβ¦
