The students who graduated like 5, 10 years ago before AI, they're not AI first. They feel lost and adrift. They
00:00:05
don't have agency. But the group coming out of college right now that cheated
00:00:09
their way through school using ChatGPT, doing their assignments, like using those tools. I'm joking cheating, but I
00:00:15
mean hacking. They're totally cracked. They're just like, I know how to use
00:00:18
these tools to get through my finals. >> With respect to new college grads, I
00:00:22
think the single most marketable skill in the economy right now has got to be proficiency in Claude. If you're going
00:00:29
into a firm right now and you're the only one who knows Claude, it would be like you're the only one who knows how
00:00:35
to work a spreadsheet, you know, or word processor. The advantage would be enormous.
00:00:40
>> It's not just tech or programming. If you're in marketing, if you're in legal,
00:00:44
if you're in accounting, sales, if you're the most AI savvy person of all
00:00:50
your peers, you are golden. Like you are golden. >> You're 10x more valuable than the next
00:00:56
person who's not.
