Text us a question and we'll answer it on the podcast...
Dr. Jon Finn explores striking parallels between the Industrial Revolution and today's AI Revolution, highlighting the unprecedented competition to human brainpower that AI represents. Unlike the Industrial Revolution that unfolded over a century, the AI Revolution is happening in just 2-5 years, with predictions being realized faster than expected.
• First-time ever competition to human brainpower through neural networks that can work 24/7
• Industrial Revolution created jobs while the AI Revolution is eliminating them even in financially strong companies
• Henry Bessemer's steel-making technology that reduced production time from 4 days to 15 minutes serves as a historical parallel
• Approximately 100,000 tech sector jobs lost to AI this year already
• Companies are reallocating savings from human roles into building AI workforces
• Understanding history, particularly the Industrial Revolution, helps us prepare for AI changes
• Optimizing our brain states is key to becoming "AI winners" rather than being displaced
You're only ever one Brain State habit away from transformation.
