McKinsey's business model is to hire a bunch of college graduates who've never run a company and then charge another client $5 million to have these college graduates do a bunch of PowerPoints and they charge them $5 million.

Beast business model.

It's honestly a crazy business model.

It is a beast business model.

But they do all of this stuff, right?

They do have a staff of people and to their credit, McKinsey generally hires like wicked smart people out of very high end schools.

They do maintain their prestige and they spend months creating the analysis and whatever else, even if the analysis at the end is like, yeah, lay off tons of people.

So if you think about AI though, AI could just take the data set of all the analysis they've done and then just shit something out to a client, right?

McKinsey could very easily make an AI that replicates what their team of human beings does and just does like an okay, you know, pretty close, let's say 90% version of it, but kind of misses some core things.

And even if McKinsey is like, we don't want to do it.

We want to maintain our prestige.

Well, another company is going to come along and say, hey, we're going to get you the report in one week and it's going to cost $1 million instead of $5 million.

And he talks about McKinsey is all of a sudden McKinsey has this massive competitive pressure and they will fall in line because they're not going to lose business over this.

So what I'm really concerned about now is not only are companies being driven by Wall Street short-term profits, which means lay people off and replace them with AI, which is not ready to do the critical thinking and misses certain things.

But on top of that, we're going to have this shitty race to the bottom where they're forcing more AI usage and more layoffs when it's not ready because everybody's going to be doing it.

And I find this to be pretty concerning.

Dude, like Dario Amadai, biased, works for Anthropic, has a long essay he did about two weeks ago and just lists.

So they're making Claude and he's like, I really think this is going to destroy jobs at a much faster rate than anybody else.

I don't...

Maybe he is incentivized to do that.
