About this listen

The AI jobs debate is spiralling — are we heading for mass unemployment or a boom in new roles? In this episode of The AI Transition, Stephen is joined by strategist and engineer Nate Jones to flip the script. Drawing on the logic of Pascal’s Wager, they ask: what’s the smartest bet you can make right now — no matter what the future holds?

Together, they unpack:

  • Why believing either doomsday or utopia misses the point

  • The rise of “meta skills” and the power of high-agency problem solving

  • How resumes became useless — and what actually signals value now

  • The risk of doing nothing (and how to find momentum in uncertainty)

Whether you're optimistic or bracing for disruption, this episode gives you a grounded, practical lens to navigate what’s next. Because when the future is foggy, the best move is forward.
