You put 'only 10 years experience required' in your job offer
Doesn't work if everyone replaces Jr. staff with AI.
That's a future CEO's problem.
Next quarter? Who gives a shit! This quarter is all there is!
Companies will have this issue a decade or two down the road
The people running the companies won't be alive or, they will most likely be hovering over the next corporation like the vulture capitalist they are.
Hire from outside the company like they have been doing for decades.
Surely some other company will be the one to spend money on training!
Stopped clock moment, but Iβll take it
Did I just read what I think I just read?
Thereβs no way.
No. Itβs impossible.

AI should have started with replacing CEO's. Saving a shit ton of money and getting rid of the people doing more harm than anything useful.
I know that HubSpot has chosen to keep their internship program intact for a similar reason.
Last time a CEO said the opposite they got pilloried. Don't say something your product can't back up. The lesson has been learned.
Too late, they will realize that senior employees don't grow on trees...
