I guess my thought is that this may only apply to like, “upper echelon” jobs.. Feels like it could make “entry level” things disappear completely.
I saw over the weekend (Research derived from MIT) that 95% of companies who have embarked on an enterprise AI endeavor, saw zero measurable return. These companies have popped millions ($10, $15, $40 million lol) into these tools and they can’t grow legs.
Makes ya wonder?
I think everything becomes an entry level job!
Lawyers required some pretty significant persuasion skills that I don’t think AI has yet 
I wonder what type of AI future we’re in for: the Google search AI response that I frequently use and rarely have to scroll past now? or the AI helper in my Safeway app shopping cart that gets ignored every time it suggests a new item for me?
More than likely, most successful implementations (at least at this point in time) will be a bit more discreet and specialized for particular use cases.
The more narrow you can get, the easier it is to fill the gap. I still think that the greatest examples are currently in programming. Top software developers are coming out to the public saying that they’re fully adopting AI to write 90% if not all of their code. I personally spend at least $100/mo for Claude Code, and $20/mo for Cursor.
As always, the world is never black and white, and I’m interested to see where we’ll land in the middle.
You’re telling me. AI agents are going to be an interesting ride!
Wild stuff is happening on Moltbook (the social network for AI agents only).
Agents talking to each other without filters is a bit dark. Curious on @patrizia_bertini thoughts around this.
This thought reminds of an interesting discussion someone was having on fluid and crystallized intelligence. For someone to become a good lawyer, they have to go through the grunt work and become ‘crystallized’ - so to say knowledgeable and wise. If the modern worker - with a lot of fluid intelligence - doesnt get a chance to crystallize that rigor, how will the future lawyer actually perform if they are only dependant on AI?
Maybe we won’t need that skill in the future. But how do we hypothesize what we will need and what we won’t?
I just hurt my brain trying to wrap around this thought. Will leave it to the smarter minds in the forum to help with this.
Lol.
The dystopian side of me sometimes says why bother with these thought exercises… but we’ve gots lots at stake. 
I was thinking about this during covid before AI had legs. Our brain is learning to disregard information, and this connection becomes stronger every time we experience it.
The best thinkers do not retrieve information though in this new world— they use a system, look at the possible answers, synthesize real-time, and balance contradictory ideas from multiple sources to generate new possibilities. I call it exo-thinking
I think this phenomenon is only speeding up.
My initial hunch is that all professional level jobs of today are the entry level positions of tomorrow, simply because knowledge (which is honestly a derivative of wisdom/experience) has been the trademark of professional work across almost if not all careers.
Maybe this is my sleepy brain kicking in (it’s 11:11pm for me), but I think that creativity and agency become the ultimate skills while the executional pieces keep being peeled away.
I’m seeing this across multiple organizations and throughout social media where team members are now branching out into higher-level thinking such as being more interconnected with the business’s goals, or moving into their own products as people no longer need full blown teams to produce functional software.
Just from that scenario towards the latter, you can imagine how far already that creativity and agency can get you.
PS: I don’t think I’m smarter than you @nikhil_mahen , but figured I’d drop my thoughts!
