@larryvc This is well said and thought through. This is kind of the conclusion I came to as well. Either you embrace and learn or your job is at risk. Though I hadn’t considered the company’s role/responsibility as much until reading this. Thats an important point.

Let's think about this logically:
You're in an industry that's likely to lose jobs to AI, you're concerned about your job: how do you assess your risk of losing your job to AI?
Two ends of the spectrum:
(1) Your company is not engaging with you on how they will use AI in the future and isn't all-in on teaching you how to use AI as part of your job,
(2) Your company is all-in on teaching you how to use AI and is working with you on building AI into the business.
If your situation is #1, there are two probable scenarios:
1a. They are working behind the scenes on how they are going to use AI to replace you and aren't telling you about it - therefore your job is at risk.
1b. They aren't really thinking about how to use AI and are late adopters - therefore the company's competitive position will be at risk and by transference, also your job.
If your situation is #2, there are two possible reactions:
2a. You don't lean into learning AI despite your company's best efforts to engage you and teach you - therefore you risk loss of relevance and market value in an AI world.
2b. You dive into learning AI in collaboration with your company, you ultimately automate much of your old job, and you up-level into a new job where you're managing AI agents to do your old job - you probably end up in a job that is even more fun and rewarding than your current one.
If you're in scenario 2, that's a great scenario for your career - as long as you choose 2b.
This year is an inflection point for many - how we all spend 2026 will likely impact the future trajectory of our careers.
