Key Concepts
The book's frameworks, one page each.
The AI Survival Guide rests on a handful of frameworks for reading the AI landscape: which jobs are exposed, how the labor market is shifting, and why. Each one gets a short page here, and every page links back to the chapter where the idea is developed in full.
The Replaceability Test
Four questions that show how exposed a job is to AI: predictable patterns, existing frameworks, available data and ambiguity. Chapter: Are You Replaceable?.
Augmentation vs Displacement
AI augments the best performers and displaces the rest. One lawyer with AI can do the work of three. Chapter: Are You Replaceable?.
Moravec's Paradox and Your Job
Machines master what we find hard before what we find easy, which is why office work is going before physical work. Chapter: Are You Replaceable?.
Job Polarization
AI splits the job market into a few very well-paid jobs and a large pool of cheap gig work. Chapter: Job Scarcity.
Recession-Driven Automation
Companies automate during downturns and keep the machines when the economy recovers. Chapter: AGI Isn't Necessary.
Credential Decay
As AI shrinks hiring, most degrees lose value. AI-relevant and elite credentials hold up best. Chapter: Credential Value Shifts.
