@angus.sewell If you want the job audit prompts comment “audit” and I’ll send it your way There is some real data to show this was an orchestrated PR campaign but that doesn’t mean they don’t genuinely believe the things they say. It’s like a weird SF culture at this point. Idk man I don’t live in SF but every person I know who does seems to be low key preparing for the apocalypse. #ai #buildwithai #vibecoding

Overview

The creator provides a tutorial on how to use Anthropic's "Economic Index" and the US Labor Department's O*NET database to audit one's own job for AI risk. He demonstrates using specific prompts to categorize tasks for either automation or augmentation and then generate a 90-day adaptation plan. He concludes by downplaying existential AI threats in favor of the more immediate challenge of job task automation, advising viewers to focus on creative skills.

Hook and payoff

The promise the opener makes, and how the video pays it back

Hook

Start by referencing a recent, controversial public event or claim and promising to provide definitive proof of its validity, creating immediate relevance and intrigue.

Payoff

Conclude with a clear, empowering mandate. Tell the audience what their new primary focus or 'one job' should be in light of the information revealed, giving them a sense of direction and purpose.

Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Vindicated Insider

The video validates a popular but unproven claim by revealing a 'secret' tool or piece of data, then provides a step-by-step guide for the audience to use it themselves, ultimately revealing a personal implication and a new path forward.

  1. 1

    The Evidence Reveal

    Introduce a tangible but little-known piece of data, a document, or a tool that serves as the core evidence for the initial claim, making the abstract concrete.

  2. 2

    The DIY Verification Guide

    Provide a clear, step-by-step tutorial showing the audience exactly how to access and use the evidence for themselves. This builds credibility, empowers the viewer, and transforms them from a passive observer to an active participant.

  3. 3

    The Personal Impact Analysis

    Explain the direct, personal consequence or insight that the audience will uncover by following the guide. This translates the abstract data into a concrete reality for the viewer's own life or work.

  4. 4

    The Strategic Upsell

    Introduce a second, more advanced step or tool that builds on the initial analysis, offering a way to create a strategic plan based on the new insights, thereby increasing the value proposition.

  5. 5

    The Common Misconception Rebuttal

    Address and dismiss a popular but extreme or hysterical interpretation of the topic, positioning the creator's view as the more pragmatic and rational one, thereby building authority.

  6. 6

    The 'Real' Threat Definition

    Reframe the issue, clarifying what the actual, most probable danger or opportunity is, shifting the audience's focus from the sensational to the practical.

Transcript

This anthropic whistleblower guy wasn't lying. Go check out the job index that Anthropic published. First of all, Anthropic is mostly just worried about mass unemployment. Like, you can download their whole job index. Feed the file to your AI of choice with this prompt. It will combine it with the US Labor Department's database of every task associated with your job, then divide up those tasks based on Anthropic's automation versus augmentation ratio. Which parts of your job are just gonna be clogged? Which parts do you actually need to be really good at? Now with this prompt, it will create you a ninety day plan to measure, automate the parts of your workflow that clearly should be automated, and then teach you to be really good at the parts you can't. Angus, what about all the, like, end of the world stuff? Clearly, he was paid to say that. You think this, you just haven't met anybody who lives in San Francisco. Thinking that AI will, like, only automate all jobs and create a permanent underclass is, like, kind of better minimum belief there. What do I think, you ask? Extremely low chance of killing all people, but a very good chance of automating a good chunk of the tasks associated with our jobs. So that means your one job now is getting really good at the things that AI can't do well, which will continue to be a lot of stuff, bro. Anything that requires taste or creativity, by the way. So get out there, big good, and follow your boy, you no, if you fuck with the not too out of touch AI take.
