TLDR:

1. forget prestige ladders, and get used to starting over

2. invest in friendships, networks, and being a good hang

3. learn in the real world, not through textbooks

4. do not use AI to deskill yourself!

I've been thinking about the booing at college commencements & wondered: what advice would I give a 22yo for the age of AI?

thinking back to my own graduation into the pandemic, I think the #1 thing is having the right disposition toward change

(obviously a lot of the "AI transition" is more than any individual can deal with; certainly policy action, etc matters a lot. but in an environment of increasing fatalism, it's important to note where there is space to thrive!! this post is roughly what I tell young people in my own life)

@jasminewsun That last part... I dont think I've seen anyone call it "deskilling" yet. Really good way to put it.
