re: My job barely existed when I was in college, and will cease to exist before I retire

You aren't getting UBI because you refuse to adapt. Yes it will do a lot of meaningless jobs like your's, but it will open up more opportunities, too.

but the entire field of analytics, no matter the industry, is quickly being absorbed by AI.

It’s interesting. Over the long weekend I was trying to think about my next live with AI. I’m in M&A and there is a lot that I leveraged AI for and as I was thinking I wondered if it will be completely AI before I retire.


I know the entry level people in my industry are going to be screwed soon. AI can do the analysis and other items much faster than they can. They won’t be in the field for long. The lower level jobs are more at risk than I am I believe.

all i know is i quit asking for excel formulas on the tech board after i discovered AI

ridiculous; almost don't even have to double-check what it spits out no matter how crazy my request is.

There's a difference between the ones that went to secondary school/university here, and the H1Bs and their children.

I'll take a Gujarati running a convenience store in BFE, Texas, over 5 out of the 6 H1Bs that are sitting in cubes around me for the communication skills alone. As the H1Bs have stuffed more kids into elementary and secondary schools (the national Junior Honor society induction at my middle school was over 60% Indian), it remains to be seen whether their kids will assimilate. I have concern that there's now such a critical mass of their culture in places (Sugarland, Katy, a lot of spots in DFW) that they're going to miss the memo that no Americans understand what "revert to same" means, or what "minutes of meeting" are, rather than "meeting minutes."
