subscribe here: https://thinkfuture.comconnect with mango aggro: https://techtensions.substack.com---In this episode of thinkfuture, host Chris Kalaboukis speaks with Mango Aggro (TechTensions Substack) about one of the most overlooked consequences of AI: the collapse of entry-level roles and the emergence of what he calls the “messy middle.”As AI automates junior-level tasks—like building presentations in minutes instead of days—companies are hiring fewer entry-level workers. That might look efficient today, but it creates a long-term problem:No pipeline of talent to replace tomorrow’s leaders.We explore:- Why AI is shrinking entry-level jobs across industries- The hidden risk of a future talent gap- How AI is being used (and misused) to justify layoffs- The rise of agentic AI—systems that act autonomously, not just respond- What “personal AI” could look like in the near future- Why job survival depends on shifting from process to outcome- The surprising rise in value of skilled trades vs. knowledge work- A possible future of post-scarcity and Universal Basic IncomeMango’s perspective is clear: AI isn’t just automating work—it’s restructuring how careers, value, and opportunity evolve.If you’re thinking about AI, jobs, career strategy, or the future of work, this conversation cuts through the noise and gets to the real implications.
