]]> AI Is Coming for Your Job: Here’s What To Do Ben Marks, Founder @ comVisory.com 01:17:12 In this episode, Ben Marks sits down with systems thinker and AI researcher Sakeeb Rahman to explore one of the biggest shifts of our time: what happens when intelligence becomes abundant. Drawing from physics, biology, AI, organizational theory, and complex systems, Sakeeb explains why artificial intelligence is not just another technological wave, but a new “selection pressure” that could fundamentally reshape work, identity, and society itself. Together, they discuss the collapse of traditional software development cycles, why knowledge workers may be the most exposed group in the AI era, the rise of taste and curation as economic moats, the importance of communities during periods of disruption, and how AI orchestration tools are changing the way humans think and create. This is a conversation about intelligence, adaptation, creativity, economic transformation, and what it means to remain human in an age where machines increasingly think alongside us.
