## Resource

Bill Franks, President of Analytics Advisory Partners, breaks down why a degree no longer proves much and employers now hire on what you can show, not what you know. He explains the pipeline trap companies are walking into - handing every junior, tactical task to AI the way firms offshored it back in 2000, then finding no one qualified to step into the senior roles - and argues teams should deliberately do one in ten tasks by hand just to keep their skills sharp. Bill also digs into the boring physical limits that could throttle AI long before the algorithms do, from power and water to grids so backed up that wiring a data center now takes longer than building it. Finally, he unpacks model collapse, where models trained on AI output slowly degrade until the only fix may be retraining on human content from 2022 or earlier.
