JENSEN HUANG WAS JUST ASKED IF HE FEELS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WAY AI WILL TRANSFORM HUMAN LABOR
His answer was a masterclass in why this revolution will be different.
Then he ended with this line:
"Everybody will have to use AI because if you don't use AI you gonna lose your job to somebody who does."
His full reasoning:
"Our job is not to wrangle a spreadsheet. Our job is not to type into a keyboard. Our job is generally more meaningful than that."
"AI will drive productivity, revenue growth, and therefore more hiring."
"It's for certain everybody's jobs will change as a result of AI. Some jobs will disappear obviously. Every single industrial revolution some jobs are just gone, but a whole bunch of new jobs are created."
The thesis: AI is the next industrial revolution. Adapt or get replaced.
Raycast is my favorite example when people ask me about designing keyboard shortcuts.
Most of us try to make shortcuts memorable. T is for theme, so I'm going to make option+t toggle theme.
That's fine. But you need to consider user's hand placement. Are they using your app one-handed, or are both hands already on the keyboard (like right after launching Raycast)? Which common actions a user might be need both a pointer and a keyboard to do?
Raycast gets this. Really well.
The shortcut should meet the hand where it already is.
