Ep20. The greater Evil (the AI Debate)

"AI will take your job... but not yet."

So, what should we do in the meantime, and what does the data say about it?

In today's episode, we'll be discussing this hot topic. Our goal is to share our thoughts, facts, and research-backed conversation about AI, OpenAI, and Figma.

First up, we took a deep dive into Situational Awareness AI and what it has to say about the future of AI and job automation. There's a lot of valuable information there about how AI is progressing and what industries might be impacted the most.

We also looked at some fascinating data from Techloy about the top countries with the highest AI startup activity. This gives us a glimpse into where the innovation is happening and which countries are leading the charge in AI development.

And, we briefly touched on a sobering statistic: the 0.004% chance that a young person in Nigeria has of becoming a millionaire in USD. This insight comes from an interesting article on Medium, An Informed Way to Look at Wealth Desires in Your 20s. It's a stark reminder of the economic realities many face and why discussions about AI and job opportunities are so crucial.

We'll discuss the latest developments in AI, how tools like Figma are evolving with AI integration, and what experts are predicting for the future. Whether you're in tech, design, or any other field, this conversation is going to be relevant to you.

So sit back, relax, and let's get into it. This is going to be an insightful discussion you won't want to miss.
