Reading this further, this is nonsensicle:<p>Andreessen described his job as a nuanced combination of “intangible” skills, including psychological analysis of the entrepreneurs he works with: “A lot of it is psychological analysis, like, ‘Who are these people?’ ‘How do they react under pressure?’ ‘How do you keep them from falling apart?’ ‘How do you keep them from going crazy?’ ‘How do you keep from going crazy yourself?’ You know, you end up being a psychologist half the time.”<p>“So, it is possible—I don’t want to be definitive—but it’s possible that that is quite literally timeless. And when, you know, when the AI is doing everything else, that may be one of the last remaining fields that people are still doing.”<p>If Venture Capitalist is the last safe job, then there are no entrepreneurs.
