What do dinosaurs and language fluency at work have in common? Extinction! Andrew looks back on AI’s progress towards a world without language barriers. Here’s what GPT-4o means for remote workers.
Hey, Welcome Back!
Struggling to land a remote job because of English fluency?
Good news! Those days are going the same way as the dinosaurs. Extinct! This is HUGE for non-native English speakers who want to break into remote work.
And there are almost a billion of you!
That’s a billion people who weren’t born with English as their native language, but speak it anyway.
For decades, English has been the most widely spoken language in the world.
For years, language has blocked global tech talent from English-speaking companies. But guess what? Technology is the asteroid we’ve all been waiting for, smashing through barriers and making seamless, worldwide collaboration a breeze.
🦖 Language barriers are about to meet their extinction event: AI.
GPT-4o has triggered the countdown to the end of language barriers in remote communication as we know it.
This AI makes real-time language translation possible. Today.
If English isn’t your first language this will fundamentally change how you work, and open up a world of new possibilities for you.
Right now, remote workers have to pass English fluency tests in order to qualify for top tier remote jobs. It’s something we’ve done here at Crossover since the beginning.
Communication - after all - is the lifeblood of remote collaboration!
But we’re excited about the future and what AI language translation tech can bring to candidates who have the skills, the cognitive aptitude and the drive – but who aren’t fluent in English.
Language won’t be a barrier to:
💥 Higher pay
💥 Top tech jobs in the US
💥 And a better life, anymore!
It’s episode 64 and I’m taking a walk down memory lane to 2 years ago when I predicted AI would SMASH language barriers for remote workers…and now it has.
The infrastructure to power real-time translation for audio exists.
OpenAI has released GPT-4o which will change how remote workers communicate across the globe.
👉 Emails, instant messages, Jira tickets, Zoom calls. 👈
It’s all about to change.
The clock is ticking on the barriers that kept non-English speakers from working in English remote teams.
I’m eager to see the evolution of remote communication unfold – with you!
