> You guys have the opportunity to be generation AI—where you come into the workforce saying, ‘I know this a lot better than all of you'

Yeah, it was expressly my intent to shut this kind of nonsense down. This is just a different version of "get on board right now or you'll all be left behind". Enough with the lying.

This version is more effective in expressing your sentiment, FWIW.

I don't think it's a different version of that at all? Presumably what he has in mind is the Internet transition. Nobody got "left behind" from the Internet, even cranky 80 year olds are often pretty familiar these days, but people like Reid Hoffman achieved "fulfilling lives and jobs" by recognizing early that it was going to be a big deal.

There are plenty of 80+ year olds in care facilities and living alone that are disadvantaged by the implicit assumption that everyone has a smartphone or an email address. Unable to communicate with their bank, insurance company, care providers, etc. All down to your "inclusive progress". Call it what it is: an extractive, inhumane power grab meant to monopolize everyone's attention. And that was tech's Big Success Story. Everything since has been trying to re-live those glory days.
