  "account": "The author, an AI founder, shares career advice with his teenage children, who are navigating a rapidly changing world. He emphasizes three key points: learning to think critically and use AI effectively, seeking jobs that still require human judgment, and becoming increasingly employable. For schoolwork, he teaches them to evaluate AI-generated answers by testing their understanding, challengeability, and applicability. While AI can provide personalized coaching, it cannot replace the contextual trust developed through human relationships. He encourages his children to look for careers where humans are still essential, such as skilled trades and apprenticeships, rather than dismissing them. Lastly, he stresses the importance of becoming a valuable team member who can adapt to change, spot problems, provide solutions, and maintain a positive attitude. He believes these qualities will keep them employable in a future where AI may reshape many industries.",

They’re just starting to figure out what they want their lives to look like, and their questions are shaped by a world changing by the day. Those questions are also way more practical than you’d imagine.…",
