Jobs That Will Grow Because of AI — and What They’ll Look Like by 2026
Why the Narrative About “AI Killing Jobs” Is Wrong
👋 Hey friends,
A few weeks ago, I hopped on a call with a product manager who’d just wrapped another marathon day.
He sighed and said,
“Every update meeting feels the same — we spend more time reporting what AI did than talking about what we should do next.”
That line stuck with me.
Because beneath all the noise about AI replacing people, something more interesting is happening — AI is reshaping the nature of work itself.
Not by making humans obsolete, but by reshuffling where human creativity actually matters.
We’re living through a once-in-a-century re-architecture of work.
The people who can coordinate, translate, and reason with AI — not just use it — are quietly becoming the most valuable in every room.

Here’s what we’re exploring today:
Why the “AI kills jobs” narrative misses the point — and what the data really says.
The new job clusters emerging across AI product ops, automation, strategy, and human-AI design.
A practical playbook to help you position yourself before the market catches up.
A glimpse into the future of work — what careers will look like when every team has an AI copilot.
Grab your coffee.
By the end of this issue, you’ll see the future of work not as something to fear but as something you can design around yourself.

But what can you actually DO about the proclaimed ‘AI bubble’? Billionaires know an alternative…
Sure, if you held your stocks since the dotcom bubble, you would’ve been up—eventually. But three years after the dot-com bust the S&P 500 was still far down from its peak. So, how else can you invest when almost every market is tied to stocks?
Lo and behold, billionaires have an alternative way to diversify: allocate to a physical asset class that outpaced the S&P by 15% from 1995 to 2025, with almost no correlation to equities. It’s part of a massive global market, long leveraged by the ultra-wealthy (Bezos, Gates, Rockefellers etc).
