ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In today’s world, generative AI is shaking up the job market, and many fear that their skills are on the chopping block. But Matt Beane’s book The Skill Code: How to Save Human Ability in an Age of Intelligent Machines offers a powerful blueprint to safeguard what makes us irreplaceable, and what makes being human rewarding and fulfilling. Drawing on his expertise in technology and the economy, Matt introduces a game-changing framework: the three C’s—Challenge, Complexity, and Connection—for mastering new skills, and the three D’s—Discovery, Development, and Deployment—for keeping them sharp. On this episode of Hearsay Culture, Dave and Matt dive into how to thrive in a tech-driven world, exploring the challenges, opportunities, and strategies to stay ahead and maintain our humanity.

“In many cases, it is no consequence to anyone that we may or may not be losing our sense of direction as a result of using that technology. We get better results, and nobody cares, and that’s fine.” – Matt Beane

The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do.– B. F. Skinner
