Got an email from an entry-level investment analyst who had their job replaced by AI
I'm still bullish on the dynamism of the US economy but this transition phase is going to be painful for certain roles and industries

Stay positive and keep pushing to find the next gig. Society will adapt and absorb AI. You could consider yourself lucky in that you'll be more prepared than others when it happens to them. AI is an excuse. Earlier generations had "outsourced" or "automated" reasons

This is pretty pathetic of the firm that fired the kid. They hired him 6 months ago. Did they not realize AI would be capable of handling all these tasks (and increasingly more) at the start of the year? Agree though that bar for bringing on junior employees is getting higher.

The market's pulse is shifting, and while optimism is a tempting narrative, the reality is that disruption often breeds pain before progress. The rise of AI is a double-edged sword—efficiency gains for some, job losses for others. Stay vigilant.

Yes, AI is going to be devastating for entry-level roles.
As an example, the website behind this account was built with the help of AI.
Previously, it would have cost >$10,000 and taken months. Instead, it cost <$100 and took a few weeks.

Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately | TechCrunch
After getting licenses to cover every engineer, some at the cryptocurrency exchange warned Armstrong that adoption would be slow, predicting it would take months to get even half the engineers using AI.

But those who refused to try the tools when Coinbase bought enterprise licenses for GitHub Copilot and Cursor got promptly fired, CEO Brian Armstrong said this week on John Collison’s podcast “Cheeky Pint.”

MIT also found that despite widespread investment in AI software, half of projects ended in failure. It said 80pc of companies had explored AI technology but just 40pc deployed it.
It added that “enterprise grade systems” were being “quietly rejected” by major businesses and only “20pc reached pilot stage and just 5pc reached production”.
The report, from the US university’s Nanda AI project, went on to argue that many employees in fact want to use AI but are turning to consumer products such as ChatGPT on their own dime, rather than relying on expensive or unwieldy corporate AI tools.
The report insisted that “AI is already transforming work, just not through official channels” – but its headline finding that nearly all investment by businesses is going to waste could not have landed at a more delicate momen
