📝 TL;DR A group of major investors is openly predicting that AI will start replacing real chunks of human labor in 2026, not just making people a bit more productive. Budgets are set to shift from salaries to software, and workers who ignore this will feel it first. 🧠 Overview New comments from multiple enterprise investors suggest that 2026 is the point where AI stops being a pilot experiment and starts meaningfully changing headcount. A recent study from a leading tech university estimates that more than one in ten jobs could already be automated by current AI systems, and employers are already cutting some entry level roles because of it. The big unknown is how this plays out on the ground, mass layoffs, higher productivity, or a messy mix of both. What is clear is that leadership teams are now planning their 2026 budgets with AI and labor in the same conversation. 📜 The Announcement In a new year outlook, several enterprise focused investors were asked about AI adoption, and many of them, without being prompted, jumped straight to how AI will affect workers. They expect companies to increase AI spending in 2026 while reducing what they spend on certain types of labor. Some predict that AI will move beyond helping employees type faster or summarize documents and will start fully automating specific workflows. Others warn that even when AI is not the real reason for cuts, executives will still use it as the public explanation for layoffs and budget reductions. ⚙️ How It Works • Automation potential is already here - A recent study estimates that roughly 11 to 12 percent of existing jobs could be automated with today’s AI, especially roles heavy on repetitive digital work. • Early signs in hiring - Surveys show some employers are quietly removing entry level positions and junior roles, explaining that AI tools can now handle parts of that work. • Budgets are shifting, not just growing - Investors expect 2026 enterprise budgets to move money out of headcount and into AI platforms, tools, and agents that can run processes end to end.

How do you keep chatgpt working the way you planned it to work ? Short version: I already got it working almost perfectly (the way i need it to work). Then. Something happened and it slipped into its old habits of general blah blah, needlessly elongating the discussions, forgetting what it already knew about me.... it is super frustrating! How can i get back to the version that already did what we had agreed (on a course of action)? I alrady asked itself this question, but it answered in that similar fashion, so no real progress there. Soooo frustrating - It is just a tool, after all. It's like finding a perfect hammer - and when you start to build your dream house, you notice the perfect hammer, all of a sudden has the handle made of rubber and the head flies off, too... and instead of building the house you have to start repairing the hammer all over again 🤬

There’s something about the space between Christmas and New Year’s that makes people want to stack plans. New goals. New habits. New pressure. It feels productive… but most of the time, it’s just more weight. Your next level isn’t hiding in what you add. It’s unlocked by what you finally say no to. No to commitments that drain you. No to goals you picked up out of obligation. No to habits that look good on paper but cost you energy. Growth isn’t always about doing more. Sometimes it’s about protecting your time, focus, and bandwidth so the right things can actually grow. Before you ask, “What do I need to do next year?” Ask this instead: "What am I done carrying into 2026?" That answer will shape your year more than any goal ever will. 👇Drop one thing you’re choosing to say no to next year.

I would like to share a tip that I use when working on hard problems. Maybe you are not sure of the result of one AI Or maybe you want several options or opinions Use several different AI platforms to do the exact same job I like Claude Opus, Gemini 3 Pro and Chat GPT 5.2 Thinking at the moment and you can even have a fourth to evaluate all the solutions ! Have you tried this yet ?
