I'm going to be 45 in a few years. Your ageism is a big problem.

The thing is, as artificial general intelligence advances, everyone is going to be left behind. Give it 4-6 decades. Anyone essentially Human 1.0 at that point will be irrelevant.

But a few decades out, you can count on your OWN skills to become outdated, and regardless of whether you are a motivated learner or faster learner, it will quickly become very difficult for anyone to keep up. Even the young.



I am not making an ageism argument, it's a request based on my direct experience in my life. Retraining people in that age bracket I find extremely difficult and I cannot find good resources about teaching and helping them in the most effective ways.

The fact that it is difficult to keep up is the problem I want people to look at.
