Generative AI - Overriding the Fear (Tarot Eight of Swords)

Management consulting firm McKinsey accelerated the timeline for automation taking over so many traditional work tasks. In its latest analysis it is projecting that 50% of those will be automated. That's between 2030 (which is about 7 years away) and 2060. 

Expert opinion, as presented by Insider, indicates to bet on that happening sooner than later. The impacts of generative AI, along with non-generative AI, are taking hold of the global economy, including the labor market, faster than what went on with the internet. Adoption is spreading like wild fire. 

Of course, the response is primarily fear. And the messaging for the Tarot's Eight of Swords is this: Since there is a way out of the fear there is a way out of the situation and toward a solution. The history of mankind shows over and over again that humans have regrouped and even prospered amid technological change. Essentially they sized up the threats and opportunities for what they were. Next they took action. Much of that had been trial and error and finally putting together something amazing. The ones who froze in panic were the victims described so poignantly in the novels of Charles Dickens. 

In my Tarot sessions with clients I am noticing a thawing of that fear. Clients get it that 1) the threat is not immediate and 2) they can reskill for the work of the future (and that future could be happening before the 2030 which McKinsey forecasts). 

Here is a brief case study. When digital began happening print The New York Times was in denial. Then it woke up just enough to acknowledge that technological development. It hired some digital journalists but housed them separately from the revered print reporters. Soon fear took hold. Many assumed the newspaper of record would go out of business and vestiges only remain as part of a foundation. Then the corporation regrouped with a digital strategy. It kept refining that. Currently it is among the few media centers making a profit.

Takeaway: Stop fearing and start experimenting with fresh strategies.

Painful Long Half-Life of Trauma: Did Prince William Marry His Mother?

Image
  It was September 6, 1997. A number of psychics such as myself entered a grief trance. We became one with the trauma of Princes William and Harry as they walked behind the coffin of their mother Diana. The pain, I keep picking up, likely hasn’t abated in substantive ways. (Currently, it is agreed, placing them in that forever visual of their personal histories was thoughtless and cruel.) Here we are. It is said that boys marry their mother and Harry seemed to do exactly that in choosing Meghan Markle. Like Diana, she was never going to fit in. There was going to be lots of hurt to go around.  The surprise, though, is that the supposedly less fragile William might also have married his mother in choosing Kate Middleton. We don’t know that, do we? But there is reason to speculate that’s might have been exactly what occurred. Amid the conspiracy theories circling about MIA Middleton (There has been a recent photo op of her mother driving her in car), is this one in the 03-11-24 edi

Yes, There Are Content Workers - Many of Them Are Freelancers

"A majority of workers feel they’re fairly paid, but at the top of the list are independent workers across all industries, according to a recent survey of 2,500 American workers. The findings suggest that while earning what you think you’re worth is important, so is having some power over when and how much you work for the money." -  The Wall Street Journal, June 26, 2023 Today we call them "freelancers." Among them is Paul Chaney whose field is communications. On the all-important LinkedIn Profile , Chaney actually uses that term: freelancer . Not so long ago, those watching his back would have nudged him to go by the moniker "consultant." Recently, Chaney had me as a guest on a podcast about how the over-50 (who, of course, encounter so much ageism), can freelance. It received an award from Media Dimensions. Here you listen to that podcast and perhaps find your own way to freelancing.  Contentment with one's work has become the new American Dream.

The Long Half Life of The Feel-Good (from doing good)

Image
The for-sales could have run on Craigslist for 16 more days.  Then came that Ah-Ha moment. Given the low prices you get for used furniture, even though in excellent condition, why not just donate the barely used innovative bed set, artsy storage chest/prism, snow-removal equipment and karma icons.  I knocked on a neighbor's door. When I described the goodies her face lit up. You bet, she said, her husband would be right down the stairs to bring up their new stuff.  Their five-year-old would tag along with some of her stuffed animals to place immediately in the chest.  That family is delighted. The glow spills over to me. And I need that as I continue to put together the logistics for relocating back to Sierra Vista, Arizona. It's a must move, so soon after coming here to the Midwest.  Those who had heard of me back in AZ have offered me contracts for ongoing tarot reading sessions. The region has three resort areas.  Here there is only one resort area - Geneva on the Lake - and
