Quitting, AI, and the Future of Work

In this episode of BizPod, we discuss the contemporary phenomenon of "quiet quitting" and its potential causes, such as post-COVID shifts in work-life balance priorities and a growing desire for autonomy in the workplace. 

We explore the changing nature of careers, contrasting the traditional path of lifelong company employment with the emerging trend of project-based work and freelancing, particularly in light of advancements in generative AI. 

We also touch upon the implications of AI for future employment, suggesting a potential need for career shifts into fields like building or nuclear physics due to AI's energy demands, ultimately advising listeners to leave unfulfilling jobs and pursue happiness given life's brevity.
