What's a career today that people think is safe, but that you think is going to be replaced entirely?

I, the first thing that jumped into my mind when you said that, uh, was lawyer, um, law

school applications last I checked went up 21% last year.

Uh, and I would suggest that was, um, a flight to safety and that stuff's not safe at all.

Uh, law, lawyering is highly structured.

It's very process oriented.

It's kind of the ideal environment for AI.

And I have friends who are partners in law firms who say, look, I'm giving AI work that

would have taken a second or third year associate a week to complete and it gives

it back to me in 20 minutes.

So why on earth would I hire a small army of these associates?

Uh, when, you know, like I can frankly keep the billables and the revenue and then go

to my client and say, Hey, great news.

I got this done more cheaply and then you had the savings because when you are a first

year, um, law firm associate, which I was back in the, um, early two thousands, you're

a cost center for the first two years of your career, um, where the law firm is kind

of eating costs to train you up and the incentive to do that.

It's going to be non-existent for most of the big firms.
