2026 is the year everything will change (learn these skills)

In this monologue podcast, Dan Koe discusses the shift he perceives in the perception and application of AI, noting a growing backlash against technological advancements as people fear job displacement and increased workloads. He identifies three types of people in the face of technological change: resistors, waiters, and the curious, advocating for the latter who experiment and adapt. Dan argues that while technological disruption isn't new, the speed of AI's advancement is unprecedented, and he urges listeners to develop skills that abstract upward, emphasizing the importance of taste, judgment, and continuous learning. He encourages listeners to build their own projects, write publicly, and use AI to explore new possibilities rather than avoid work, stressing that the key to thriving in the age of AI is to question existing skills and habits and to experiment at the edge of one's knowledge.
