I'm seeing a lot of talk about AI replacing jobs, but something's missing in this discourse: implementation moves WAY slower than tech capability 

Look at ports - could've been automated a decade ago but unions said no. Writers struck over AI. This pattern will repeat across industries.

While AI could replace most jobs technically, the social/political friction means it'll be a slow burn, not a sudden flip. We'll see more unions form, more regulation around 'AI layoffs', more resistance.

The interesting part? This resistance might actually create opportunities. While established companies struggle with unions and regulation to automate, startups can build with AI-first principles from Day 1.

New companies starting with minimal human talent + AI tools could scale with lower budgets but higher productivity. The future might not be AI replacing all jobs, but rather new AI-native companies outcompeting legacy ones

Ex-VC. I like making bread (literally and figuratively) 

totally agree with you! the speed of tech vs. implementation is night and day. it's not just about what AI can do, but also what society will actually accept. these shifts could open doors for new businesses that adapt faster than the old giants. exciting times ahead for those who can ride the wave and innovate!
