本节直击痛点,通过一系列令人不安的数据揭示了教育回报率的断崖式下跌:入门级职位减少35%,近期毕业生失业率攀升,而AI工具(如ChatGPT、Claude)已能胜任50%-60%的初级任务。主持人结合自身笃信“教育至上”的成长背景,提出了一个尖锐的核心问题:当AI能以更低的成本完成工作时,传统大学学位的真正价值究竟还剩多少?这不仅是就业市场的寒冬,更是教育体系与现实需求严重错位的信号。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: by the end of 2025 AI can do what used to require a 4-year degree and the numbers prove it entry-level job postings in the US are down about 35% compared to January 2023 unemployment for recent graduates is 5.8% one of the worst numbers we've seen in years
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 到2025年底,AI将能够完成过去需要四年制学位才能做的事情,数据证明了这一点:与2023年1月相比,美国入门级职位的招聘启事减少了约35%,近期毕业生的失业率为5.8%,这是我们要多年来见过的最糟糕的数据之一。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: at the same time AI tools like Chad GPT Claude Copilot and Perplexity are getting better and better every month they write they summarize they analyze code faster cheaper and more reliably than a lot of juniors and the data shows the impact according to Harvard Business Review AI can already do 50 to 60% of typical junior tasks
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 与此同时,像ChatGPT、Claude、Copilot和Perplexity这样的AI工具每个月都在变得越来越好。它们写作、总结、分析代码的速度比许多初级员工(juniors)更快、更便宜,也更可靠。数据展示了这种影响:根据《哈佛商业评论》(Harvard Business Review),AI已经可以完成50%到60%的典型初级任务。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: entry-level hiring in European tech has collapsed by over 70% starter jobs don't slow down they kind of vanishing which raises the uncomfortable question if AI can do the job what's the degree actually for
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 欧洲科技行业的入门级招聘暴跌了超过70%。起步类工作不仅仅是放缓了,它们简直是在消失。这就提出了一个令人不适的问题:如果AI能做这份工作,那么学位的意义究竟何在?
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: and here is why this hits home for me i am someone who grew up in a world where education was everything i spent 5 years studying mathematics and economics uh in my university i spent a semester in Technicia University at Dresden studying mathematics i took endless trips to learn languages i applied to top US universities to do my masters in MBA every major opportunity I've had in my life started with education and it was the same with my whole family
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 这就是为什么这个问题深深触动了我。我成长的世界里,教育就是一切。我在大学里花了5年时间学习数学和经济学;我在德累斯顿工业大学(Technical University at Dresden)花了一个学期学习数学;我进行了无数次旅行去学习语言;我申请了美国顶尖大学攻读MBA硕士学位。我生命中每一个重大的机会都始于教育,我的整个家庭也是如此。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: but now I'm raising my kids in a completely different era and I want to understand whether the system that shaped my life still works for theirs so in this video I'm bringing together insights from the guests of my podcast founders cos investors and people who are actually building AI and I'm going to ask them these three questions
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 但现在,我在一个完全不同的时代抚养我的孩子,我想弄清楚塑造我人生的那个体系是否依然适用于他们。所以在这个视频中,我汇集了我播客嘉宾们的见解,包括创始人、CEO、投资人以及那些真正正在构建AI的人。我要问他们这三个问题:
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: so what is really happening to education and entry-level jobs when is a university degree actually worth it and when is it a bad investment and how do you build your own education roadmap in the age of AI so let's talk about what's actually breaking this video is sponsored by HubSpot
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 教育和入门级工作到底发生了什么?大学学位什么时候才真正物有所值,什么时候又是一笔糟糕的投资?以及在AI时代,你该如何构建自己的教育路线图?那么,让我们来谈谈究竟是什么正在崩塌。本视频由HubSpot赞助。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: so the US labor market looks okay on the surface but the picture is getting worse for young and entry-level workers in September 2025 the economy added 119,000 jobs yet unemployment still climbed to 4.4% the highest level in nearly four decades
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 美国劳动力市场表面上看起来还行,但对于年轻和入门级劳动者来说,情况正在恶化。在2025年9月(注:原文口误,可能指2024年或预测数据),经济增加了11.9万个就业岗位,但失业率依然攀升至4.4%,这是近四十年来的最高水平。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: companies like Salesforce and Shopify are openly telling investors they're meeting growth targets with AI instead of junior staff why because entry-level roles are exactly what today's AI is best at repetitive rule-based heavy on routine light on judgment naturally companies are asking why pay a junior 60k a year when you can pay $10 a month for a model that never sleeps
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 像Salesforce和Shopify这样的公司公开告诉投资者,他们正在用AI而不是初级员工来实现增长目标。为什么?因为入门级角色正是当今AI最擅长的领域:重复性高、基于规则、侧重常规流程、对判断力要求低。很自然地,公司会问,既然你可以每月花10美元雇佣一个从不睡觉的模型,为什么还要每年花6万美元雇佣一个初级员工呢?
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: so no surprise then that recent graduate employment has jumped to 5.8% and the average age of technical hires is going up because companies don't want to train juniors anymore at the same time that skills that are in demand are changing much faster than universities can keep up
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 所以毫无意外,近期毕业生的(失)业率跃升至5.8%,且技术类招聘的平均年龄正在上升,因为公司不再想培训初级员工了。与此同时,需求技能的变化速度远快于大学的跟进速度。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: pricewc's 2025 global AI jobs barometer shows that workers with real AI skills now earn a 56% wage premium more than double what it was just a year ago and universities most are still teaching 5-year-old material maybe even worse but if you feel like I did everything right and the system still isn't working for me you're not crazy the system is misaligned with reality
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 普华永道(PwC)的2025全球AI就业晴雨表显示,拥有真正AI技能的员工现在能获得56%的工资溢价,这是仅仅一年前的两倍多。而大多数大学仍在教授5年前的教材,甚至可能更糟。但是,如果你觉得“我做对了所有事,但这套系统依然对我不起作用”,你并没有疯。是这个系统与现实脱节了。
📝 本节摘要:
在本节中,主持人对话了 Perplexity AI 的 CEO Aravind Srinivas。针对“如果现在18岁该怎么办”这一问题,Aravind 给出了反直觉的建议:不要过早纠结于寻找“真爱”或兴趣,因为18岁时你很难真正了解自己。相反,他强调“深度”的重要性——选择一个领域(无论是编程、数学还是写作),持续投入数年直到成为顶尖高手。这种通过克服困难获得的“内在自信”(inner confidence),才是教育真正的价值所在。这种自信让你敢于把赌注押在自己身上,而这种能力是AI无法替代的。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: but before we write off education completely let's hear from someone who actually builds AI products used by millions and still believes education matters i asked Aravvenas CEO of Perplexity AI a very personal question if you were 18 in the US today starting from scratch in this job market what would you do here's what he said
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 但在我们彻底否定教育之前,让我们听听一位真正构建了数百万用户使用的AI产品、且依然相信教育重要性的人的看法。我问了 Perplexity AI 的CEO Aravind Srinivas 一个非常私人的问题:如果你今天18岁,在美国这个就业市场上从零开始,你会怎么做?这是他的回答。
[原文] [Aravind Srinivas]: look I would definitely pursue my interests but 18 is too early to know what you're interested in a lot of people like think they know what they're interested in but I feel my my personal opinion is that 18 is still pretty early so I would just pick something and try to do it well
[译文] [Aravind Srinivas]: 听着,我肯定会追求我的兴趣,但在18岁时知道自己对什么感兴趣还太早了。很多人觉得他们知道自己感兴趣什么,但我觉得,我个人的观点是,18岁还是太年轻了。所以我只是会选一样东西,并试着把它做好。
[原文] [Aravind Srinivas]: i think people underestimate the importance of like having that inner confidence in you to uh bet on yourself that no matter what you do you can do it well so unless you've done some things like that in your life already like try to actually go and do something like commit yourself to one one thing and do it for a sustained period of time because it's very hard to be good at something if you just do it for like a couple of months
[译文] [Aravind Srinivas]: 我认为人们低估了拥有那种“内在自信”的重要性,那种把赌注押在自己身上的信心——无论你做什么,你都能把它做好。除非你在生活中已经做过类似的事情,比如试着真正去投入做某件事,致力于这一件事并持续很长一段时间。因为如果你只做几个月,很难真正擅长某件事。
[原文] [Aravind Srinivas]: you need a year or two to actually get really good like topnotch at something uh it could be programming it could be math it could be AI it could be like writing apps doesn't matter it takes time to actually be really really good so I would suggest them to like like go deep into something it could be undergrad education it could be like finding a software job at one of the existing companies you could start off as an intern if they don't hire you full-time uh and then convert
[译文] [Aravind Srinivas]: 你需要一年或两年的时间才能真正变得非常优秀,达到顶尖水平(topnotch)。这可以是编程,可以是数学,可以是AI,也可以是编写应用程序,这不重要。真正变得非常优秀是需要时间的。所以我建议他们深入钻研某样东西。这可以是本科教育,也可以是在现有公司找一份软件工作,如果他们不录用全职,你可以从实习生开始,然后再转正。
[原文] [Aravind Srinivas]: and like when you're very young just you utilize the time surround yourself with like like peers who would push you to be better learn a lot like be a learning machine um or like like like work really really hard uh and uh and then you you acquire that ability to go and like be good at anything you can bet on yourself okay like how do you take on hard hard tasks in life
[译文] [Aravind Srinivas]: 当你非常年轻的时候,利用好时间,让自己周围都是能推动你变得更好的同龄人,大量学习,像一台学习机器一样,或者非常非常努力地工作。然后你就获得了那种去擅长任何事情的能力,你可以把赌注押在自己身上。好吧,就像你如何承担生活中非常艰难的任务?
[原文] [Aravind Srinivas]: you can only take it on if you have some confidence that you know you can keep persisting and things are not going your way and like you you you'll see the light at the end of the tunnel you have to have had do it at least once in your life to to bet on yourself for the next next set of
[译文] [Aravind Srinivas]: 只有当你拥有某种自信,知道即便事情不顺遂你也能坚持下去,并且你会看到隧道尽头的曙光时,你才能承担这些任务。你必须在生命中至少经历过一次这样的过程,才能在下一轮挑战中把赌注押在自己身上。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: his message was simple at 18 you don't need a true calling you need a direction and you go deep mastery takes years not months and that's where education formal or informal still has a huge role the real value of education in the AI era is not the ability to memorize 300 slides and pass an exam it's the ability to show up for years struggle with hard concepts and come out on the other side stronger
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 他的信息很简单:在18岁时,你不需要一个真正的使命(true calling),你需要一个方向,并且深入钻研。精通需要数年,而不是数月,而这正是教育——无论是正式的还是非正式的——依然发挥巨大作用的地方。在AI时代,教育的真正价值不在于背诵300张幻灯片并通过考试,而在于能够坚持数年出现,与艰难的概念通过斗争,并在最终变得更强大。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: also gives you time to think about what you actually want and it gives you opportunity to dive deep into something that's really hard for you the deep competence gives you something AI doesn't have the confidence to take on harder and harder problems so no education is not that but the idea that only a 4-year university can give you that that's starting to fall apart
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 这也给了你思考自己真正想要什么的时间,给了你深入钻研对你来说真正困难事物的机会。这种深度能力给了你一样AI所不具备的东西:承担越来越难问题的自信。所以,不,教育并非毫无意义,但认为“只有四年制大学才能给你这些”的想法,正在开始崩塌。

📝 本节摘要:
本节对话了“离经叛道”的年轻创业者 Samir Vasavada。他在中学时期便决定放弃大学,这与他重视传统教育(医生/工程师)的印度移民家庭产生了剧烈冲突。Samir 从第一性原理出发,认为大学除了人脉外,无法为“创办大企业”提供实质帮助。他提出了一套替代性的自我教育模式:寻找一位5-10年后你想成为的榜样,通过“跟随学习”(shadowing)和提供超额价值来赢取信任与可信度。他强调要设定长期的“北极星”(North Star)愿景,在“擅长的事”与“在乎的事”之间找到交集,并将其作为毕生事业。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: let's look at someone who decided very early that college was not for him my guest Samir Vasavvada decided back in middle school that he wasn't going to college not maybe later not gap year he consciously stepped off the default track and it caused a huge conflict within his family
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 让我们来看看一位很早就决定不上大学的人。我的嘉宾 Samir Vasavada 早在中学时就决定不去上大学了,不是说以后再去,也不是间隔年(gap year),他有意识地偏离了默认轨道,这在他的家庭内部引发了巨大的冲突。
[原文] [Samir Vasavada]: my parents would never ever let me do that
[译文] [Samir Vasavada]: 我父母绝对不会让我那样做。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: but I asked him what that moment looked like you became uh a billion dollar founder at the age of 20 so you were the youngest person to become a billionaire at 20 right
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 但我问他那个时刻是什么样子的。你在20岁时成为了价值十亿美元公司的创始人,所以你是20岁成为亿万富翁(billionaire)的最年轻的人,对吧?
[原文] [Samir Vasavada]: i wasn't a billionaire but the the billion dollar yeah you can you know media got it
[译文] [Samir Vasavada]: 我不是亿万富翁,但那是十亿美元(估值的公司),是的,你知道媒体是怎么写的。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: can you talk walk me through your childhood because your parents are immigrants from India and I feel like immigrant upbringing really contributes to successive people uh how were you growing up were like your parents pushing you towards traditional education was money an issue
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 你能跟我聊聊你的童年吗?因为你的父母是来自印度的移民,我觉得移民家庭的成长背景真的有助于人们的成功。你成长的过程是怎样的?你的父母有没有推动你接受传统教育?钱是个问题吗?
[原文] [Samir Vasavada]: yeah so my parents came from India to the US they had a lot of kind of traditional you know Indian values so going to school doing a doctorate becoming a doctor um or an engineer as much as it is a stereotype it is true um they really pushed me growing up to be a doctor um and I just didn't want to do that like I just I always loved building things and for a while I was just kind of confused until I figured out the kind of entrepreneurial path
[译文] [Samir Vasavada]: 是的,我父母从印度来到美国,他们有很多那种传统的印度价值观。比如上学、读博士、成为医生或者工程师。虽然这是刻板印象,但确实是真的。在成长过程中,他们真的推动我成为一名医生,但我就是不想那样做。就像我一直喜欢制造东西,有一段时间我有点困惑,直到我找到了创业这条路。
[原文] [Samir Vasavada]: and I just thought from like kind of a first principles perspective I'm like "Okay what would college help me with what would the traditional path help me with if I want to start a big business and become really successful in that you know facet and I couldn't really think of anything other than network
[译文] [Samir Vasavada]: 我只是从第一性原理(first principles)的角度思考,我想:“好吧,如果我想创办一家大公司并在那方面取得真正的成功,大学能帮我什么?传统路径能帮我什么?”除了人脉网络(network),我真的想不出别的了。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: so when did you understand this that you're not going to do college
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 那么你是什么时候明白你不去上大学的?
[原文] [Samir Vasavada]: um I had started to say it at the end of like seventh grade seventh eighth grade so I was like already kind of thinking about it you know sixth grade but at the end of seventh eighth grade I kind of knew I wasn't going to I wasn't going to do it
[译文] [Samir Vasavada]: 嗯,我在七年级末,七八年级的时候就开始这么说了。我在六年级的时候就已经在思考这个问题了,但在七八年级结束时,我就有点知道我不会去了,我不会那样做。
[原文] [Samir Vasavada]: and I remember like the the the story was there was this um you know honors society and like at the end of uh school um you know they give all the kids awards for like who got first honors and second honors and I remember I didn't get any of the awards because I decided I was no longer going to spend my time and effort on school and my grades took a huge hit
[译文] [Samir Vasavada]: 我记得当时的故事是这样的,有一个荣誉协会(honors society),在学期结束时,他们会给孩子们颁奖,比如谁获得了一等荣誉和二等荣誉。我记得我没有得到任何奖项,因为我决定不再把时间和精力花在学校上,我的成绩受到了巨大的打击。
[原文] [Samir Vasavada]: and my parents were so depressed they're like you know we had a dinner after the graduation ceremony and everyone had a pouty face i'm like why are you guys so upset and they're like you didn't get first and second honors how are you going to get into a good college and my answer was like I don't really care i'm not going to go to college
[译文] [Samir Vasavada]: 我父母非常沮丧。你知道,我们在毕业典礼后吃了一顿晚饭,每个人都板着脸。我就问:“你们为什么这么不高兴?”他们说:“你没拿到一等和二等荣誉,你怎么进好大学?”我的回答是:“我真的不在乎,我不打算上大学。”
[原文] [Samir Vasavada]: and it just started this huge fight and you know I eventually kind of recovered from it but it was you know a a really kind of challenging thing to you know kind of change the conventional means
[译文] [Samir Vasavada]: 这引发了一场巨大的争吵。你知道,我最终从那场冲突中恢复过来了,但是改变传统的方式真的是一件非常有挑战性的事情。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: but he didn't just reject college he built a different education system around himself can you give advice to someone who's 17 18 deciding whether they should go to college or not and they do realize that college gives you network but also this credibility
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 但他不仅仅是拒绝了大学,他是围绕自己建立了一套不同的教育体系。你能给那些17、18岁正在决定是否上大学的人一些建议吗?尤其是他们确实意识到大学能提供人脉,还有这种可信度(credibility)。
[原文] [Samir Vasavada]: i think that college has kind of started to lose its credibility um and I think the you know university system now teaches you what to think and not how to think so I I would say that the best way to grow yourself is to find someone who you think is really impressive and you want to be in five years and 10 years shadow that person learn from that person
[译文] [Samir Vasavada]: 我认为大学已经开始失去它的可信度了。我觉得现在的大学体系教你“思考什么”(what to think),而不是“如何思考”(how to think)。所以我认为让自己成长的最好方式是找到一个你觉得非常令人印象深刻的人,一个你想在5年或10年后成为的人,跟随(shadow)那个人,向那个人学习。
[原文] [Samir Vasavada]: and the way that person will take you seriously is you do the work you learn about their business or you learn about their their job you you know get introduction get a warm introduction to that person or send a really thoughtful cold email and like really show that person I'm going to go above and beyond for you and you hustle and like they will take you seriously and then you will get credibility as a result
[译文] [Samir Vasavada]: 而让那个人认真对待你的方式就是你去做事。你去了解他们的生意,或者了解他们的工作。你可以找人介绍,获得那个人的熟人引荐(warm introduction),或者发一封非常用心的冷邮件(cold email),真正向那个人展示:“我会为你付出超乎寻常的努力。”你努力拼搏,他们就会认真对待你,结果就是你会获得可信度。
[原文] [Samir Vasavada]: and then those things will compound over and over again and when you're ready to do their your own thing you'll you know start to build your network you'll start to have a little bit of experience and that'll help you carry forward
[译文] [Samir Vasavada]: 然后这些东西会一遍又一遍地复利累积。当你准备好做自己的事情时,你会开始建立你的人脉,你会开始拥有一些经验,这将帮助你继续前进。
[原文] [Samir Vasavada]: and then I would really say that it's important to like think long term of like who do you want to be over you know 10 year period over a 15ear period like I had an idea when I was 15 I had written down a set of things what I wanted my life to look like when I was 20 and I had accomplished every single thing on that list other than getting a dog um that was on my list and I do not have a dog
[译文] [Samir Vasavada]: 然后我真的想说,长远思考非常重要,比如在10年、15年的周期里你想成为谁。就像我在15岁时有个想法,我写下了一系列关于我20岁时生活样子的事情。除了养狗之外,我完成了清单上的每一件事——那在我的清单上,但我没有养狗。
[原文] [Samir Vasavada]: um and I have another version of that for when I'm 30 and you know sometimes you're going to miss it on the margins but when you have this kind of vision this thing you're working towards this north star that that that'll guide you to some extent you will you will fall into that but you really have to be introspective and understand what are the things that I care about what are the things that I'm good at and where's the intersection and am I willing to like make this my life's work
[译文] [Samir Vasavada]: 嗯,我有另一个针对30岁的版本。你知道,有时你会在边缘上错过一些,但当你有了这种愿景,这种你为之努力的“北极星”(North Star),它会在某种程度上指引你,你会进入那种状态。但你真的必须进行内省,了解我在乎什么,我擅长什么,交集在哪里,以及我是否愿意将其作为我一生的事业。
📝 本节摘要:
随着知识获取方式的彻底去中心化,传统的学位教育面临严峻拷问。微软AI负责人 Mustafa Suleyman 指出,未来的学习将是与AI副驾驶的持续对话,每个人口袋里都将拥有针对任何主题的专家级导师。但这引出了新的挑战:在获取知识变得极其容易的时代,人类的核心竞争力是什么?Anthropic CPO Mike Krieger 强调了“系统思维”(Systems Thinking)的重要性——即理解事物如何相互关联,而不仅仅是学习编程语法。同时,两人不约而同地提到,“自学力”(the ability to teach yourself)这一元技能将变得至关重要。为了培养这种能力,必须在学习过程中保留“摩擦力”(friction)和挑战,因为轻易获得的知识无法构建性格与深度。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: so if universities are losing their monopoly what comes next my conversation with one and only Mustafa Sullean head of AI at Microsoft i asked him something I've been thinking about a lot if access to knowledge is now democratized what happens to traditional education do bachelor's and master's degrees even make sense when you can learn almost anything through an AI conversation and here is what he said
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 那么,如果大学正在失去其垄断地位,接下来会发生什么?在与微软AI负责人、独一无二的 Mustafa Suleyman 的对话中,我问了他一个我一直在思考的问题:如果知识的获取现在已经民主化了,传统教育会变成什么样?当你可以通过与AI对话学习几乎任何东西时,学士和硕士学位还有意义吗?这是他的回答。
[原文] [Mustafa Suleyman]: i don't think so i think that knowledge acquisition is going to be a conversation between you and you know co-pilot so for example another feature that we just launched today in fact is this learn live feature so you actually have a tutor shows up on the screen and it will lay out a quiz for you on any topic that you like
[译文] [Mustafa Suleyman]: 我不这么认为(指学位在传统意义上不可或缺)。我认为知识获取将变成你和你的副驾驶(co-pilot)之间的对话。例如,事实上我们今天刚推出了另一个功能,叫“实时学习”(learn live),屏幕上会出现一位导师,它会就你喜欢的任何主题为你布置一个小测验。
[原文] [Mustafa Suleyman]: so it doesn't have to be a school curriculum topic you might be learning about cacti or you know Persian rugs it will give you an education on it lay out the kind of curriculum piece by piece give you a nice quiz present it in a nice graphical use user interface and so knowledge acquisition is about to get completely decentralized and available to everybody and you just have an expert teacher in your pocket on any subject
[译文] [Mustafa Suleyman]: 所以它不一定非得是学校课程的主题,你可能正在学习关于仙人掌或者波斯地毯的知识。它会给你提供相关的教育,把课程一点一点地罗列出来,给你一个不错的小测验,并以一个漂亮的图形用户界面呈现出来。因此,知识获取即将变得完全去中心化,并且对每个人都触手可及,你口袋里就有关于任何学科的专家级老师。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: what Mustafa describes is a quiet revolution knowledge used to live in books and classrooms now it lives in a conversation with an AI tutor that never gets tired and can explain the same idea 20 different ways as a parent I'm no longer worried about my career i'm worried about what the world will look like for my daughters in 10 or 15 years so of course I had to ask another parent who's building the world of the future asked uh Instagram co-founder Mike Kger he is the CPO anthropic what are you teaching your kids what do you think they'll need in this AIdriven job market
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: Mustafa 描述的是一场无声的革命。知识过去存在于书籍和教室里,现在它存在于与AI导师的对话中,这个导师从不疲倦,并且能用20种不同的方式解释同一个概念。作为父母,我不再担心我的职业生涯,我担心的是10年或15年后,我女儿们的世界会是什么样子。所以当然,我必须问另一位正在构建未来世界的家长——Instagram联合创始人 Mike Krieger,他是Anthropic的CPO(首席产品官)。我问他:你在教你的孩子什么?你认为在这个AI驱动的就业市场中,他们需要什么?
[原文] [Mike Krieger]: yeah it's super hard to predict like what that market looks like a six and a four-year-old so it's going to be the the what might change a lot and even some of the how will change but I think there's a few things that are kind of worth calling out one is talked a little bit before about being curious and observant about the world that remains really powerful
[译文] [Mike Krieger]: 是的,这非常难预测,比如对于一个六岁和一个四岁的孩子来说,那个市场会是什么样子。所以,“做什么”(what)可能会改变很多,甚至一些“怎么做”(how)也会改变。但我认为有几件事值得指出来。一个是之前稍微提到过的,对世界保持好奇和观察力,这依然非常强大。
[原文] [Mike Krieger]: they did this um uh uh whole like this whole school event in my um kids school around like uh even having the kindergarteners observe what could be better about the school and then like create posters about like ideas about how to improve them that's a great mental exercise for kids and I even asked that question you know and some of the ideas are like creative and some of them are kind of silly but even like having that mentality is something I think will serve anybody well as they grow up cuz that's a change that you could try to make within your school or your community or your company and and and so forth so I think that piece matters
[译文] [Mike Krieger]: 我孩子的学校举办了一整个像这样的校园活动,甚至让幼儿园的小朋友去观察学校里有什么可以改进的地方,然后制作海报,提出关于如何改进的想法。这对孩子们来说是一个很棒的思维锻炼。我甚至问了这个问题,你知道,有些想法很有创意,有些有点傻,但即使只是拥有这种心态,我认为也将在他们成长的过程中很好地服务于任何人,因为那是你可以尝试在你的学校、社区或公司等地做出的改变。所以我认为这一部分很重要。
[原文] [Mike Krieger]: and I think the other one that should remain constant like there was a lot of energy around like learn to code everybody should learn to code and I think too many people interpreted that as like you should learn Python and it's like yes you can learn Python that's going to be helpful through to some things but more than that it's can you think in terms of systems can you think systematically and the folks that internalized that I think even with the advent of AI generating coding you can still apply those same techniques were the ones that were just like oh yeah I learned to code and now I'm like feeling a drift because of that
[译文] [Mike Krieger]: 我认为另一个应该保持不变的东西是……之前有很多关于“学习编程”、“每个人都应该学编程”的热潮。我认为太多人把它解读为“你应该学习Python”。是的,你可以学Python,这对某些事情会有帮助。但更重要的是,你能否用系统的角度思考?你能否系统性地思考?我认为那些内化了这一点的人,即使在AI生成代码出现后,依然可以应用同样的技巧;而那些只是觉得“哦,我学会了编程”的人,现在因为(AI的出现)可能会感到迷茫。
[原文] [Mike Krieger]: so I think what I hope to encourage in my kids is that that sense of curiosity and observation and then also this ability to think in terms of systems like how do these things interrelate you know whenever they um they got because of all the politics and news they were like interested in tariffs and like my wife had a really wonderful sort of interactive example of like how you know interdependent economies might interact and you could see their eyes kind of their gears kind of so that kind of like explain the system don't just explain the facts
[译文] [Mike Krieger]: 所以我想,我希望在我孩子身上鼓励的是那种好奇心和观察力,以及这种用系统思考的能力。比如这些事物是如何相互关联的?你知道,因为所有的政治和新闻,他们对关税(tariffs)产生了兴趣。我妻子用了一个非常棒的互动例子,展示了相互依存的经济体是如何互动的。你能看到他们的眼睛里……齿轮开始转动了。所以,那种去解释系统,而不仅仅是解释事实(的能力很重要)。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: and his answer is the same thing I keep hearing from researchers and founders the skills that do not expire are curiosity systems thinking and the ability to teach yourself hard things mustafa made a similar point when I asked him about what parents should focus on in an AI world it's still important to be good at like learning knowledge from first principles yourself and not depending on the sort of AI tutor leading you through
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 他的回答和我从研究人员和创始人那里听到的一样:那些不会过期的技能是好奇心、系统思维和自学困难事物的能力。Mustafa 也表达了类似的观点,当我问他在AI世界里父母应该关注什么时,他说:这就依然很重要——善于从第一性原理出发自己学习知识,而不是依赖AI导师带着你走。
[原文] [Mustafa Suleyman]: like I think one of the most important things is from school is the discipline of being able to teach yourself that's a meta skill and that you know that that comes with friction so I think as a parent you still have to introduce like discipline and friction into the process because if it comes all too slowly and it's always on tap you know then the then there's a risk that the child could just get used to having everything instantly available and doesn't learn from the hard work um you know the benefits of hard work which I think are important so that's like something to think through now that everything is going to be so seamless
[译文] [Mustafa Suleyman]: 我认为学校里最重要的事情之一就是能够自学的纪律(discipline),这是一种元技能(meta skill)。而且你知道,这往往伴随着摩擦(friction)。所以我认为作为父母,你仍然必须在过程中引入纪律和摩擦,因为如果一切来得太慢(注:此处原文口误,语境意为“太容易”)或者总是随叫随到,那么就存在一种风险:孩子可能会习惯于一切都瞬间唾手可得,从而学不到努力工作的益处,而我认为这很重要。既然现在一切都将变得如此无缝,这是我们需要思考的问题。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: so even as AI makes learning easier we still have to protect the things that actually build character struggle frustration making kids unhappy is also a good thing they don't have to be happy all the time finishing what you start because that's what builds the one skill every guest in this video cares about learning to learn
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 所以,即使AI让学习变得更容易,我们仍然必须保护那些真正构建性格的东西:挣扎、挫折。让孩子不开心也是一件好事,他们不必一直快乐。完成你开始做的事情,因为这构建了本视频中每位嘉宾都关心的那项技能——学会学习(learning to learn)。
📝 本节摘要:
在最后的总结中,主持人给出了关于“是否上大学”的最终判决:大学依然适用于需要法定资质的领域(如医学、法律),或作为一种社交加速器;但如果是为了随大流而背负巨额债务,则是一笔糟糕的交易。针对2025年后的生存法则,她提出了一条“混合路径”,并为17-26岁的年轻人制定了具体的五步行动计划:从设定10年方向、逆向工程榜样、选择最快技能获取路径(不一定是学位)、构建可见的“工作证明”(Proof of Work),到将AI作为副驾驶而非替代品。最后,她以母亲的身份分享了对女儿教育基金的看法:存钱是为了给孩子选择的自由,无论她们未来是选择上大学还是创业。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: and that what brings us to the decision many of you are making right now should you go to university or not universities still make sense if you need a legally required credential medicine law in some countries certain engineering roles or if you can afford it without taking on life crushing debt
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 这就把我们带到了你们许多人现在正在做的决定:你应该去上大学吗?如果你需要法律要求的资格证书(如医学、法律,或某些国家的特定工程职位),或者你能在不背负压垮生活的债务的前提下负担得起,那么大学依然有意义。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: it also works if you treat it like an accelerator you join research projects you build things you surround yourself with like-minded people you find mentors you actually use the network it's a bad deal if you're going just because that's what everyone does or if you'll graduate with six figure dad and no clear way to monetize the degree
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 如果你把它当作一个加速器,它也行得通:你加入研究项目,你制造东西,你让自己周围都是志同道合的人,你寻找导师,你真正利用那个关系网。但如果你去上大学只是因为大家都这么做,或者你毕业时背负六位数的债务(注:原文口误为dad,应为debt)却没有清晰的学位变现途径,那就是一笔糟糕的交易。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: in many fields you can now get faster cheaper and more relevant experience through boot camps online programs apprenticeships and real projects or basically just teaching yourself with AI for most people in 2025 and beyond the best path is a hybrid a lighter more affordable credential paired with aggressive use of AI tools internships open-source work freelance projects and continuous self-directed learning
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 在许多领域,你现在可以通过训练营、在线课程、学徒制和真实项目,或者基本上只用AI自学,来获得更快、更便宜且更相关的经验。对于2025年及以后的绝大多数人来说,最好的路径是混合式的:一个更轻量、更负担得起的证书,搭配对AI工具的积极使用、实习、开源工作、自由职业项目以及持续的自主学习。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: if you're between 17 and 26 here is what you can do next step one pick a 10-year direction not a perfect plan it's going to change all the time but what problems do you actually enjoy thinking about what job do you secretly want in the next 10 years what does a good workday look like for you write it down that's your draft direction
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 如果你在17到26岁之间,接下来你可以这样做。第一步:选择一个10年的方向。不是一个完美的计划,它会一直变化。但你真正喜欢思考什么问题?在未来10年里你私下里想要什么工作?对你来说一个美好的工作日是什么样的?把它写下来,那就是你的草案方向。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: step number two reverse engineer people already there find a few people who are already doing that work check what they actually do not just their titles projects tools responsibilities you'll start to see patterns like oh they have data plus storytelling or they have AI plus design or coding plus product
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 第二步:逆向工程那些已经到达那里的人。找几个已经在做那份工作的人,看看他们实际在做什么,不仅仅是他们的头衔。看项目、工具、职责。你会开始看到模式,比如“哦,他们懂数据加讲故事”,或者“他们懂AI加设计”,或者“编程加产品”。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: and then step number three choose the fastest path to those skills now pick a lane degree slower broader more in-depth gives you time to think and try things boot camp faster focused resultsoriented online plus self-study flexible needs discipline apprenticeship or internship you get paid to learn or hybrid don't ask what sounds more prestigious ask what gets me these skills and a portfolio the fastest for a price I can handle
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 然后第三步:选择获取这些技能的最快路径。现在选一条车道:学位(较慢、更宽泛、更深入,给你时间思考和尝试);训练营(更快、聚焦、结果导向);在线加自学(灵活,需要自律);学徒或实习(你拿钱学习);或者混合模式。不要问什么听起来更有声望,要问什么能以我能承受的价格,最快地让我获得这些技能和作品集。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: and of course step number four build proof of work not just a CV whatever path you choose the goal is the same make things other people can see projects code designs case studies content anything that proves you can ship not just know
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 当然,第四步:建立工作证明(proof of work),而不仅仅是简历(CV)。无论你选择哪条路,目标是一样的:制作别人能看到的东西。项目、代码、设计、案例研究、内容——任何能证明你能“交付”(ship),而不仅仅是“知道”的东西。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: and step number five use AI every day but don't let it think for you let AI explain concepts quiz you review your work help you practice but keep some friction struggle with hard things yourself ai should be your co-pilot not your replacement
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 第五步:每天使用AI,但不要让它替你思考。让AI解释概念、考你、检查你的工作、帮你练习,但要保留一些摩擦力(friction),自己去与困难的事情搏斗。AI应该是你的副驾驶,而不是你的替代品。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: and of course network get close to people five to 10 years ahead try to mingle with them start a podcast that's that's how I do it i started a podcast to just just sit next to them right here in the studio and uh ask them how you can be helpful or ask them if they could mentor you that's how you get real opportunities and references
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 当然还有社交(network)。靠近那些领先你5到10年的人,试着和他们打成一片。哪怕是开始做一个播客——那就是我怎么做的,我开始做播客就是为了能就在这个录音棚里坐在他们旁边,问他们我可以如何提供帮助,或者问他们是否可以指导我。这才是你获得真正机会和推荐信的方式。
[原文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: i hope this video helps you make the right decision for you uh in my case I graduated from university i'm grateful for that i will still save for my daughter's college just in case you know it's never a bad idea to have some savings i want them to have this freedom to choose maybe they will tell me like "Mom university is outdated i will just invest in my own business." Go do it right but I want to make sure I'm prepared for any outcome
[译文] [Silicon Valley Girl]: 我希望这个视频能帮助你做出对自己正确的决定。就我而言,我大学毕业了,对此我很感激。我还是会为我女儿的大学存钱,以防万一。你知道,有些积蓄总不是坏主意。我想让她们拥有这种选择的自由。也许她们会告诉我:“妈妈,大学过时了,我要投资自己的生意。”那就去做吧,对吧?但我希望能确保我为任何结果都做好了准备。
