Founder dad on raising kids in the AI age: "I wish AI would take jobs faster"

Alfred Lua shares his stance on AI in his fatherhood newsletter: when asked where he stands, he replied he wishes AI would take away jobs more quickly. He observes that verifiable work like programming and math is increasingly solved by models and compute rather than humans, and friends across private investment, consulting, and IT report companies cutting entry-level roles. As a knowledge worker, he is thinking through what to teach his children for this shift, alongside the struggle of caring for aging parents while raising two kids.
