I work in big tech, I dont see any american undergrads almost anywhere. Its all foreigners. Older americans at the top, who joined over a decade ago, overseeing this odd workforce. A strong word, but somedays it feels like a soft genocide is occuring

Clearly a lot of people benefit from this situation, which is why you can’t speak about it publicly

These will be what replaces employees. One day you update the model from opus 5.5 to x.5, and it can just do a full job.

The big secret is most people actually arent producing actual useful output. And so there is nothing to automate... they dont actually do anything.

Spoke with a banker at a well known investment bank in NYC last week. They told the law firm they want the fees cut in half or they walk. This is to a top 5 law firm. Lawyers are trying to charge the same prices, when both sides know they are working half the hours. This is even at the most premium top end, where an engagement bill can run up to 30 million.
