About This Podcast
Let's be honest: Your company is already planning how AI will replace you.
They're not evil. They're practical. AI is faster, cheaper, and doesn't need health insurance. The only question is whether you'll see it coming and adapt—or be blindsided like millions before you.
I'm Carlo Thompson, Distinguished Engineer. I've spent two decades building the networks that now power AI. I understand this technology from the inside, and I'm here to translate it into survival strategies you can actually use.
Surviving AI delivers:
✓ Early warning signs your job is vulnerable
✓ Skills that AI can't replicate (yet)
✓ Career pivots that protect your income
✓ Real case studies from the automation frontlines
✓ The truth about "AI will create more jobs than it destroys."
Episodes are 30-45 minutes—no fluff, no filler—just the insights you need to stay employed in an AI-powered economy.
For: Professionals 30-50 in customer service, middle management, marketing, HR, finance, operations—basically anyone who isn't a software engineer.
This isn't fear-mongering. It's a wake-up call. Because hope isn't a strategy, but preparation is.
New episodes on Wednesday. Because by Friday, your competition will have already listened.

Created with AI tools (Claude, Notebook LLM, ElevenLabs, Descript) to prove humans and AI work better together than either does alone.
