AI could dramatically reshape entry-level jobs over the coming years — and that should be a concern for every business leader, not just job seekers ⚠️🤖

Many graduate and junior roles have traditionally served as the foundation for developing future managers, specialists and leaders. As AI increasingly takes on routine tasks in areas such as marketing, finance, law, software development and customer service, organisations face a new challenge: how do you develop talent when the traditional learning ground starts to disappear?

In this thought-provoking article, Bernard Marr explores why the biggest risk may not simply be job displacement, but the long-term impact on skills development, workforce planning and the future talent pipeline. Businesses that focus solely on short-term efficiency gains could find themselves facing significant skills shortages in the years ahead.

An essential read for leaders thinking about the future of work, AI adoption and building sustainable organisations.

"That void brews anxiety."

Fei-Fei Li, Stanford professor and one of the most influential AI researchers, says students are feeling both hope and anxiety about AI.

It can give people new agency, but it can also make them fear losing it. The danger is that public discourse is being dominated by hype and extremes.

Anthropic has warned about the "risks of humans losing control over AI systems" and has called for a plan to slow down or temporarily halt AI development

The creator of Linux just publicly called out the AI hype. Word for word.

Linus Torvalds took the stage at Open Source Summit 2026 and said this:

"When I see people saying 99% of our code is written by AI, I literally get angry. Because those same people — I can pretty much guarantee — 100% of their code is written by compilers. But they never say that."

He is not anti AI. The Linux kernel saw a 20% jump in submissions this release because of AI tools. He uses it. He gets it.

His point is something most people are too afraid to say.

AI is a productivity tool exactly like compilers were. Compilers boosted programming by 1000x. AI adds another 10x on top. Enormous. But nobody says "the compiler wrote my code." So why are we saying AI wrote it?

He also flagged something nobody is talking about.

AI is flooding small open source projects with drive-by bug reports. Someone runs a prompt, files a report and disappears when asked for a patch. Maintainers with one or two people are drowning trying to keep up.

"Sometimes AI reports a bug and when you ask for more information the person has done that drive-by and does not even answer your question. That is the real burnout issue."

And his final warning was the sharpest of all.

"People who do not understand the complexity of systems will prompt systems and write processes that will fail."

The AI hype crowd is very loud right now.

Linus has been building real systems for 35 years. When he talks, engineers listen.

@Forbes Well I'm going to look forward to reading this piece in the sunshine with a cold beer

[Hedgie @HedgieMarkets]

🦔Microsoft canceled its internal Claude Code licenses this week after token-based billing made the cost untenable, even for a company with effectively infinite cloud resources. Uber's CTO sent an internal memo warning the company burned through its entire 2026 AI budget in just four months. American AI software prices have jumped 20% to 37%, and GitHub (owned by Microsoft) is dropping flat-rate plans for usage-based billing across its products.

My Take
The AI subsidy era is ending in real time. The same company that put $13 billion into OpenAI and built the Azure infrastructure powering most of Anthropic's compute just looked at the bill from a competitor's coding tool and decided it was not worth paying. That is not a productivity failure on Anthropic's end. Token-based pricing is forcing every enterprise customer to confront the actual cost of running these models at scale, and the number turns out to be far higher than the flat-rate experiments suggested.

This ties directly to my Gemini Flash post yesterday. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all raised effective prices in the last six months. Enterprises that built workflows assuming AI costs would keep falling are now watching annual budgets evaporate in months. Two outcomes look likely from here. Either enterprises scale back AI usage to fit budgets, which slows the revenue ramp the labs need to justify their valuations ahead of IPOs, or the labs cut prices and absorb the losses, which makes the unit economics worse at exactly the wrong moment. Both paths land in the same place, the numbers stop working, and somebody has to take the writedown.

More #Ai good news. What's the USMC saying?

Artificial intelligence is creating a ‘desperate base of workers who then have no full-time employment’ and they are going from ‘well-compensated positions to piecemeal gig work' in 'horrific condition’, author and journalist Karen Hao says.

@rohanpaul_ai Think the phrase "lower-value human capital" is demeaning.

Redundancies due to #AI are all over the press - Meta (8,000) announced the other day. Cloudflare 1.1k (20% of workforce). Cisco 4k, Snap 1k, HSBC 20k!!

@Entrepreneur Imagine you're one of the remaining? I'd be thinking "am i next?" That's the issue faced with many restructures. Is this the end? or beginning?

@HarvardBiz This is why proper training programmes provide post course updates and testing. This ensures that training is embedded.

@BrianRoemmele I thought that the inclusion of Claude was just announced the other day?

@CatherineAdenle Having more disposable income means you invest more, you spend more which incurs capital gains and VAT (sales tax). Seems to make sense to me.

[Miles - Global Digital and Data Product Leader @NumberMinds]

Nice to see this topic coming back up. Not seeing the problem going away anytime soon though. I've friends (senior and middle management) who are in meetings all day and do their "day job" in their own time. Been going on since I started working.

Busyness is killing strategic thinking. Here’s how to prevent that from happening. When your business requires transformation, being busy isn’t the answer. https://t.co/kJesC5QARM

@YahooFinance What a much better way of phrasing the adoption of #AI. "Upgrade your job". Other positive words could be efficiency, optimisation. Not redundancy, job losses and streamlining. @JeffBezos

[Miles - Global Digital and Data Product Leader @NumberMinds]

@TheEconomist Interesting this came out today. A friend of mine and I were talking about #ai in coding and he is a purist. He is constantly correcting and making others code more efficient. #AI isn't the solution it's an aid.

[JC Gaillard @Corix_JC]

Many workers still can't get to grips with #AI at work, and disconnect with #leaders isn't helping

@GBPolitcs @ONS Goes to show how important data driven evidence is. The narrative is politically driven.

[Brad Groux @BradGroux]

AI didn’t replace your job.

Someone who documents their process, measures the output, automates the repeatable parts, and shows up with receipts became harder to ignore.

The advantage isn’t "using AI."

The advantage is turning messy work into a system other people can trust using tools like OpenClaw or Codex.

That’s the whole game. Start small, think big.
