Constraints Will Spawn New Jobs in the AI Era
Scobleizer · x · 2026-07-18
The consensus the author heard in San Francisco is that everyone is constrained, and constraints breed innovation. Using this as a springboard, he touches on employment and collaboration in the AI era, arguing that we need to create more new jobs and train more people to handle potential polarization and a bleaker future.
He also mentioned that an Alibaba researcher in Beijing believes China is similarly operating in a constrained environment. The overarching sentiment is that the technology is already here; the key now is whether people can find better ways to collaborate.
