I doubt the person the article is about will ever see this comment amount the hundreds of pages of economic and political gripes, but here is their solution anyway:

If your job is impacted by AI, do not give up. Learn to use the AI to do your job better. Become a 10x worker using AI.

In the early 1980's, spreadsheets displaced accountants. The average accountant lost their job. The ones who came out on top over that decade learned to use spreadsheets early, and made themselves more productive. If the IRS fired everyone who was spreadsheet friendly, the recently fired spreadsheet gurus started small businesses or got jobs quickly. Eventually productivity won out over dogma, even at the IRS.

I'm a teacher. I can see GPTs replacing text books and most teachers. I'm going to be a 10x teacher when I go back to school in August. I will have certifications I got by studying with a GPT. I will have class modules and web sites I built using GPTs. I will be more ready than ever to help the kids. Then I'm going to show them how a GPT can answer their questions, so they rarely need me.

Don't wait for an AI to take your job. Become a 10x whatever you are using AI. Priya (the person the article is about) should become a 10x biotech girl.
