"AI rewards whoever has the most domain knowledge to point it at."

I'm not 40 yet, but this resonates a lot.

And you would think your knowledge is only useful for a specific domain. You can diversify as well. AI has allowed me to apply my expertise/knowledge across domains (investing, product, marketing, teaching, community, research, and engineering).

The reality is that AI has allowed me to pursue things that I would otherwise never have time for.

This is why I consider all this talk about AI replacing jobs to be a huge scam.

If you can commit months/years in a field and use AI to accelerate learning and application, you will be rewarded tremendously.

Developing domain expertise is not something you want to take shortcuts on. This is how you will stand out in the era of AI. And one more thing, protect that knowledge/experitise as much as you can. Convert it into a product/experience. AI can assist you with this.
