You are the reason I created a Substack account! I have been following you on TikTok for a while now and no one else that I have come across has this level of content - up to date, real with no filters, and where a non tech (but very curious and passionate about tech!) person like myself can understand. Glad I somehow stumbled across you.
Thank you for being one of the first people to not just doomsday about the job market changing due to AI. I truly appreciate your positive outlook and insight on what may be on the horizon. There are so many out there who are not only worried, but feel they will literally become “worthless” and “no longer valuable” due to their current role maybe disappearing as they once knew them to be. I sincerely hope that more people can see the positive in this technological revolution and find inspiration to carve out their own clear pathways to upskill and smoothly transition their hard and soft skills to evolve into these new roles. Thank you!
I always find your videos insightful and this is another great thought provoking piece for me. I work in asset management for a water company and I am looking to re-design our data management and analysis processes to be AI first. It's better than taking a bad process and making it 3% faster by using AI but still feels very much like the survive/adapt early stages of what is possible.
Still wrestling with paying the not-skimpy but worthy price for all the great content you provide and tease, Nate! As a reporter/writer, these thoughts may not align with my current role, but they sure are worth everyone considering, no matter their line of work. A small sidebar: May I suggest if you can to let AI help you put a graphic beside you in the video, giving bullet points as you step through all the great things you talk about? Would really help reinforce/drive all that content and context home! Great stuff! -Barney Lerten, Bend, Oregon
So as someone with no technical background, where do I begin to gain the technical skills to catch up to the AI most efficiently? I am worlds ahead of the daily AI User but still lacking in the technical skills to read the code, make the prompt adjustments more efficiently, or secure the code in the correct fashion. Let me know some good resources!
IMO the sleeper job of 2026 is the “AI-literacy babysitter for execs” - the friendly voice that says “the model made that up” just to keep enthusiasm from overtaking reality.
There is one job market you didn't touch on that I think is going to see a massive shift in the next 5-10 years, healthcare.
Diligent Robotics Moxi has been in use since 2020, handling over 1 million deliveries and 300,000+ pharmacy deliveries across U.S. hospitals. Medical companies like Medical Microinstruments and CMR Surgical have raised hundreds of millions in venture funding to date. The global surgical robotics sector is projected to grow to $65 billion by 2034. Digital health and healthcare AI startups raised about $3 billion in Q1 2025.
With robotics advancing quickly who knows how medicine could look in 5-10 years. It likely means fewer people hired into purely logistical roles and more demand for tech‑literate clinicians, robotics specialists, and remote‑care staff.
This was a really uplifting article for me to read because it makes me excited about the future of AI roles. I really like the Agent Fleet Orchestrator one. I definitely see the number of agents deployed in businesses growing exponentially and the new problems and quirks it will create.
Nate, absolutely great content. Since I am in Talent Acquisition and additionally with my special interest in AI, all this is so vital for me to understand. You have an excellent communication style. Very useful for everyone in Tech.

I know right! @Nate is sooo good

Did we talk about having you on the Think Bigger Think Better podcast? If not, Im booking for Jan would love to have you

As always incredible stuff Nate!
