Developing resilience for the future of work
summary
Claim: AI is already reshaping work. A 95-developer randomized study shows GitHub Copilot users complete a web-server task at 75% vs 70% (non-users) and average 1h11m vs 2h41m — about 90 minutes saved. Demonstrated tools: ChatGPT (strong prose, hallucinates), MidJourney (image-quality depends on prompt), GitHub Copilot X (bug-fixing, file explanation), and a recent humanoid prototype. Surprising specifics: accessibility to everyone, concrete time savings, and soft skills needed: creativity, collaboration, adaptability — practice via hackathons.
