"At age 71-health permitting-next 25 years, I'll be doing exactly the same thing because I like working 80 hours a week learning. And nobody can take that away from me."
"Khosla predicted that artificial intelligence will eventually be able to handle about 80% of today's jobs, ranging from physicians and radiologists to accountants and sales professionals. As AI takes over much of this work, he said labor costs could effectively fall to near zero, dramatically lowering the prices of goods and services."
"Fifteen years from now, you will say-what is bad advice today or used to be ... 'Follow your passion.' 'Follow your passion' comes second to surviving. I think that surviving part will go away, and you'll tell every 5-year-old kid, 'Follow your passion.'"
Vinod Khosla, a legendary venture capitalist, maintains an intense work ethic at 71, working 80 hours weekly and planning to continue for the next 25 years. While he advocates following passion, he acknowledges this advice is impractical for younger generations facing economic pressures. Khosla predicts artificial intelligence will automate approximately 80% of today's jobs across professions like medicine, accounting, and sales. This automation could reduce labor costs to near zero, dramatically lowering prices for goods and services. Consequently, future generations may not require college degrees or traditional employment to build livelihoods. Khosla believes survival pressures will diminish, making "follow your passion" practical advice for five-year-olds rather than current generations prioritizing financial stability.
