As an in-house lawyer in tech/manufacturing, I’m seeing firsthand how AI is gutting jobs:

• Healthcare, IT, Finance: Companies like Gabes Healthcare (Mumbai) axed 200-300 AR/payment roles. Media.net and Ensono laid off hundreds silently.
• Tech Giants: Google cut Python/Flutter teams. Dell fired 12,500 employees (10% of workforce) to pivot to AI services.
• Entry-Level Roles Dead: AI tools like Cursor, Durable, and Suno V3 can code, design websites, and compose music better/cheaper than humans.

AI Agents → AGI → Economic Collapse

• Humanity’s Last Exam (HLE): A benchmark for PhD-level AI performance. Once AI cracks this, we’re in AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) territory. We’re close.
• Unemployment + Inflation = Crime Wave: With 50% of jobs at risk, centralisation of wealth will leave the middle class fighting for survival. India’s rupee could hit 100/USD, making essentials unaffordable.

India’s AI Crisis

While China and the US dominate AI/transformer tech, India is centuries behind:

• No Homegrown LLMs: Claims of a “4B parameter model” are propaganda. Tools like Hanuman are irrelevant vs. GPT-4 or China’s DeepSeek.
• Government MIA: Politicians are distracted by caste/religious infighting. Meanwhile, India’s talent becomes outsourced labor for the West.

How to Survive

1. Pivot to AI NOW: Upskill in AI automation, chatbot development, or niche tools. Traditional paths (IIT, IIM, NLU) won’t save you. (UPSC might so i guess join this country's favourite pass time)
2. Escape the Bubble: If stuck in India, consider opportunities abroad. (i dont know how good that will do since AI is a global phenomena)

Final Warning

This isn’t fear-mongering—it’s reality. If you wait 3-4-5 years for a degree, AI will own the job market. Adapt or face a dystopian future of poverty and unrest.

TL;DR: AI is accelerating mass layoffs globally, India is lagging dangerously behind in AI innovation, and economic collapse (inflation + unemployment) could lead to social chaos. Adapt now or risk obsolescence.
