The real story isn't that AI will wipe out jobs—it's about transformation. Sure, some roles will shift, but what we're actually seeing is a reshuffling of skill demands. In tech and crypto ecosystems especially, we're watching entirely new job categories emerge faster than old ones disappear. Smart contracts auditors, AI model trainers, blockchain developers—these didn't exist five years ago. The pattern is clear: automation handles the repetitive stuff, humans move up the value chain. Whether you're building on-chain infrastructure or developing DeFi protocols, the professionals thriving aren't those resisting change—they're the ones adapting and upskilling. AI becomes a tool, not a job killer.

That's right, it's this logic. When the old job is gone and the new job starts, the key is still to learn.

That's right, but the problem is that most people simply can't learn it.

Nonsense, smart contract auditors have existed five years ago, okay? You haven't kept up with the trend, have you?

Honestly, this is the truth. A bunch of people keep shouting that AI will cause unemployment, but actually they just don't want to learn new things.

Forget it, I still have to hustle and learn new things. If I don't learn, I'll be eliminated.

nah this is just cope tbh... yeah new roles spawn but the skill gap widens crazy fast. mempool reading pays, button clicking doesn't. who's actually thriving? the guys already deep in the stack, not randoms upskilling on youtube lol

I've been saying this for a while, and some people are still crying about unemployment. Wake up, everyone.
