1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.

Mark my words: the world will be lit on fire by rioters and disaffected youth because of unemployment.
Nevertheless, I think these reports aren't too far from the truth. The number of associates required in a law firm will greatly reduce. The GC/CM roles that dominate campus recruitment will no longer be on offer, leading to more complaints about no vacancies and bad market from students. The best thing you can do is make sure you're in control - make sure you're aware of what AI can do, and how you can work with it.
Even if you're not ready for the day, it cannot always be night.
