“Nobody knows anything.”

Hollywood screenwriter, William Goldman, said this. I think about this a lot in the age of uncertainty. But the age of uncertainty didn’t start with AI or COVID. Humans have always been concerned about their future. And have always had to live with uncertainty. This isn’t new. When talks of jobs going away, in the age of uncertainty about jobs (to be more specific) we could also embrace the technology. I’ve found that the people excited by AI haven’t had the magic moment yet. When they make something they couldn’t have possibly done just six months ago. It’s indeed scary if you are running from the tech that is going to fundamentally change the world. It’s still scary when we run towards it too but far less so when you have more clarity what it’s capable of today.
