Haseeb: AI Will Not Take Your Job, But Become Your Job
Venture capitalist Haseeb posted that while writing, Claude is his assistant; while programming, he is Claude's assistant.
He believes this may be the correct way to think about AI's impact on employment. It is not that AI will take your job (the number of software engineering positions has still been increasing over the past two years), but rather that AI will become your job.
This viewpoint emphasizes the dynamic switching of roles between humans and machines, rather than simple replacement.
Haseeb has long focused on the intersection of cryptocurrency and AI, and his observations are based on actual usage experiences.
In terms of market mechanisms, AI tools are redefining the core value of professional positions, with funding and talent flowing towards individuals and teams that can effectively harness AI, while positions that rely solely on old skills are under pressure.
The reversal of human-machine roles is becoming the new norm.

Haseeb contrasts personal writing and programming scenarios to propose that the core impact of AI on employment is not replacement, but role reversal and deep integration.
The capital pathway is reflected in positioning AI as an integral part of the job itself, with the motivation to guide practitioners from "fear of replacement" to "how to become an effective collaborator with AI," thus gaining an advantage in job growth.
Similar to other practitioners describing cases where "AI becomes the core of the workflow," we are currently in a transition phase from tool-assisted software and knowledge work to human-machine symbiosis.
Essentially, this involves technological replacement and job restructuring, where the mechanism is that when AI surpasses humans in specific tasks, human value shifts towards prompting, supervising, and high-level decision-making.
