Era of Agents: Special edition for Labour day

A Labour Day break from the analysis. I asked my kids what they want to be when they grow up in the era of agents — and neither of them picked something smaller because of it.

Key takeaways

  • A Labour Day special edition: instead of my own take on the era of agents, I handed the question to my kids.
  • One wants to be an architect and build houses anywhere — in space, underwater, or underground.
  • The other wants AI to help build a rocket ship that reaches another galaxy, and wants to be both the engineer and the astronaut who explores it.
  • Neither of them shrank their ambition to fit the technology. They scaled it up to match.

Me: Hey guys, here’s a special edition for the Labour Day. In the era of agents…

First kid: When I grow up, I want to be an architect and build houses anywhere — for example, in space, underwater, or underground.

Me: And one more. In the era of agents…

Second kid: AI could help me build a rocket ship that could go to another galaxy. And then astronauts could explore different planets in different galaxies. And I want to be a rocket ship engineer and an astronaut.

Me: That’s it, guys. That was our special edition for the Labour Day. And best of luck in the coming year to everyone. Peace.
