You're Getting Fired in the Next 12-24 Months

The reality most people still don't want to see

Picture this: you walk into the office on a Monday (or open your laptop at home) and find out your position no longer exists. Not because you did anything wrong. But because the machine next to you now does your job better, faster, and without asking for a raise.

That's not science fiction. It's already happening.

Microsoft published a devastating study in 2025 on how we work in large companies. The numbers are terrifying:

Employees spend 57% of their workday on "communication" tasks (emails, Teams, meetings, PowerPoint).
Interrupted every two minutes.
117 emails a day.
153 Teams messages.

The famous "human alignment work".

In other words: 7 out of every 10 hours aren't spent creating value. They're spent coordinating, justifying, aligning expectations, and pretending we're busy.

AI doesn't need any of that.

This revolution isn't like the Industrial one. It's worse. Or better. Depends on you.

In the Industrial Revolution we went from producing 5 units to 10 in the same time. Machines amplified muscle. We became more capable.

This time is different.

AI doesn't amplify. It replaces. And it does so in the very domain where we always felt superior: thought, decision-making, routine creativity.

We're no longer trading "my time for your money". Now work has a new objective: to end.

And when work ends... then what?

Probably universal basic income. Not because it's some utopian Silicon Valley idea, but because it'll be the only way to keep society from collapsing when productivity multiplies by 10 and office jobs evaporate.

But don't kid yourself: Universal Basic Income isn't the endgame. It's the beginning of something far more interesting.

The return to craft

When AI devours repetitive cognitive work, what remains will be what has always had real value: craft.

The one who designs experiences that move people.
The one who tells stories that connect.
The one who solves problems we didn't even know existed.

It's no longer about "knowing how to use the tool". It's about deciding which tool to use and, above all, what for.

They used to hire you because you knew Excel, Photoshop, or Python. Now AI lets you use any of those tools without knowing them. What matters is: what do you want to build?

The paradigm has shifted radically:

From "how do I solve this problem" → "which problem is worth solving"

This is what's making entrepreneurship easier than ever. Low-code/no-code tools + AI let anyone launch a business in weeks. You don't need a technical team. You need vision.

When AI gets a body, everything changes again

Today's models are "simple". They're locked inside servers. But when we give them physical bodies (and it's already happening: Figure 02, Tesla Optimus, Boston Dynamics humanoids, Agility Robotics...), an entire universe of needs we can't even imagine will open up.

Historically, it's always been the same:

The printing press created journalism and the novel.
The car created highways and motels.
The internet created... well, everything we do now.

Embodied AI will create entire industries that sound like science fiction today:

Robotic companions for the elderly.
Autonomous surgeons in remote areas.
Physical artists collaborating with humans in real time.
Ethical, legal, and emotional problems we don't even have words to describe yet.

And with each new capability, new jobs we can't even name today will appear.

What will actually save you: curiosity, hunger, and ambition

People don't realize. People aren't paying attention. People don't know what they don't know.

They keep thinking "AI is just another tool". That "there will always be jobs". That "this is like when computers came along".

No. This is different.

And that's why the gap is going to blow wide open like never before.

The ones who survive (and thrive) won't be the smartest kids in school. They'll be the most curious. The ones who experiment every single day. The ones who are hungry. The ones who aren't afraid of looking stupid asking absurd questions to an AI.

Because in this new world, the competitive advantage isn't knowledge. It's speed of learning and the ability to ask questions nobody else is asking.

Either we change, or we'll be changed

This is the sentence that resonates with me the most.

You can keep ignoring what's happening. You can keep going to 45-minute meetings to decide the color of a button. You can keep updating your LinkedIn with "passionate about digital marketing".

Or you can decide that this is your moment.

Because AI isn't coming for your job. It's coming for the job that wasn't worth doing.

And what's left after... will only be for those who know how to play this new game.
