Sam Altman says the most important future skill won’t be learning how to build AI, but learning how to use AI to do extraordinary things. He compares it to computers: most people don’t understand how hardware is built, yet they can still use a computer to produce world-changing work. He explains that progress comes from layers—first computers, now AGI, and eventually new layers built on top by people who don’t need to understand the foundations beneath them.
