Treat your career like running a company where you're the CEO. Your family and future self are stakeholders, not your employer. When AI tools emerge, resisting them protects your old trade but prevents growth. Smart professionals use their employer's resources to learn new capabilities risk-free. Conduct quarterly self-reviews, align your mission with your employer's direction, and recognize that opportunities to experiment and bring ideas benefit your personal growth, not just the company.

You've Always Been Your Own Company. You Just Forgot.

I can get behind actions that help you reflect and branch out more, but the insistence on AI feels completely out of place. It can help with self-reviews and explicitly stating your mission, but the work to make those actions effective will never come from AI.
Most advocates are using AI “effectively” by using multiple platforms/agents. Unfortunately, the cost to do this is quite expensive. Keeping in mind that the costs are currently being heavily subsidized by corporations should indicate to people that if we get hooked into the current system we are going to be paying a LOT.
Look at Uber and DoorDash, remember the economic stunts they pulled and take note of the amount of control they have in their market. It’s happening again.
Do we not wonder why any of these companies wouldn’t just create their own subsidiary companies that produce valued product after valued product if it worked as good as they (and their advocates) claim it does?
