Kristin Tate is a libertarian writer and an analyst for Young Americans for Liberty. She is an author whose latest book is “How Do I Tax Thee? A Field Guide to the Great American Rip-Off.” Follow her on Twitter @KristinBTate.

Who is the author to make such claim? What authority and knowledge in the topic does she have?

The article is vague enough to be deemed as truth, at least in some sense.

With each technological revolution, people with the old skills are out of luck and people who develop the new skills will be in luck.

And what will those be?
Remaining jobs are specialized manual labor, entrepreneurs and investors?

And what will those be?

Right now, prompt engineer looks like a nice skill to have. I've been talking to a few programmers and ChatGPT-4 is solving some small tasks in 0.1 seconds, that are not super-easy for human programmers. I have experienced this in one case, so far.

In the near future, being a good human guide for AGI models will likely be a useful and well rewarded role.

The speed of development could become exponential, as AI begets AI. It is very hard to predict what this means for the "laptop class", when AGI models are interacting with the outside world and deploying further AGI models.

I never took developers working on a laptop solely serious anyway (never hire people working on MacBooks, that is the easiest give-away). Either they don't understand cybersec, or they never took the time to learn Linux. Not sure what is worse.

Than you take most business even less serious which run on windows and use windows servers or bank atms which use win2k or xp lol
There is also "no time to learn" Linux these days. It can be used just like other os, without knowing all commands etc back and forth.

I was kidding around here. Never miss an opportunity to ignite Windows vs Linux debates online (and a chance to bash Apple).
