Quant researcher Giuseppe Paleologo shared a thread aimed at non-finance professionals wondering whether AI is coming for their jobs, drawing on personal work experience. Reposter IgorCarron says he had a very similar experience: the key is solving the dirty engineering problems. The take offers a practitioner's angle on AI-driven job displacement — durable value lies in tackling messy, unglamorous, real-world engineering work that AI handles poorly.
