So we're all trying to figure out. How exactly are we supposed to make money while this AI thing catches up to do everything that we've ever wanted?
Every task that's historically had demand is now about to have an excessive, instantaneous supply.
This historically has closed just about every industry. Or phased it out.
But in the meantime, we're all becoming smarter. A LOT smarter.
And a lot faster as well.
Here's my theory about where this is all headed.
So long story short. It's extremely easy to learn all the basics at this point. Want to learn Python? You've got this in a matter of days rather than months at this point. Excel? Same deal.
Our tutorials have reached an incredible efficiency and our learning speed has increased drastically.
Meaning most of us will have a somewhat shared version of knowledge that covers much more than before.
So what then? Is there nothing new under the sun?
But see, this is just where everything begins - because knowledge is a tree that branches. And those shared knowledge bases are roots - roots that are becoming BIGGER.
Which means the trees are getting BIGGER.
Yeah.
So here's what this means.
We are all headed in totally different directions, and we're all about to become specialists in some very niche things, things that will be uniquely ours.
Our own visions for products, those will be our specialty. The questions we ask, the paths we take in those branches of our conversations.
We are all about to become hyperspecialized.
What does this mean in terms of a market?
Well, it's like having a plethora of interesting things at your disposal. These specialties, they aren't going to be weak. They're going to be awesome, and this will be our next big boom, hyperspecialized tools that make our world better...
...and the masters, the new masters are those who will soon figure out how to steer this hyperspecialization into sections of work generated with high levels of detail and quality within the larger fabric of everything.
