235 sats \ 9 replies \ @elvismercury 23 Mar \ on: Will creativity become more valued by the market than technical skills? econ
The skill of collaboration with machines is, IMO, the most important skill. The idea that you can know nothing at all about the domain, and that AI will do it all and do it well, is an illusion. It will stay an illusion, and if it doesn't, it will mean that humanity has serious, serious problems, at which point choice of career will be irrelevant.
In my own experience, figuring out what it takes to collaborate, and to learn, is a deep, deep well. It's giant alpha waiting for people.

I agree with that. But it remains to be seen how much domain expertise you'll need to collaborate effectively with the machine... or whether AI collaboration is actually an orthogonal set of skills. I imagine there's an element of both... an orthogonal component as well as a component that requires domain knowledge. It'll be both interesting and scary to see how it plays out.

whether AI collaboration is actually an orthogonal set of skills
If the trajectory continues and collaborating with machines requires less and less domain expertise, the orthogonal components will be more important. But which orthogonal components will be more important? Probably things most supplemental to what machines are able to do? At the limit, I imagine articulating personal/human desire is all that's left (if anything is left).

Setting good objectives. I think about Star Trek a lot. The computer is super useful and can do a lot, but the humans are still the main characters

I'm not sure if you intended it, but this advice even back tests well.

Meaning: figuring out collaboration + learning is a good strategy in any era? If so, I didn't have it in mind, but agree that it's true historically.

Specifically, "the skill of collaboration with machines is the most important skill" seems like timeless advice.

Technology is just a tool at our service... learn how to use it! It's not someone we can collaborate with.
Is like saying in the 19th century that collaborating with cars was the most important skill to learn. I can understand collaborating with horses, but with cars...

I do not use language like math or as it’s used in law. Feel free to replace “machines” with “tools” and “collaboration” with “using” if it suits your senses better.

Don't give in to the pedants. Collaborate is the right word in this case.
