MIT just dropped some eye-opening research on AI's workplace takeover. Turns out? Nearly 12% of U.S. jobs could already be automated right now.

The hardest hit? Finance roles, administrative positions, and professional services. We're not talking distant future here—this is happening today.

What's wild is how specific that 11.7% figure is. Not "might be" or "could be"—but jobs that AI can replace with current technology. The finance sector especially should be paying attention.

Finance folks should be worried—this time it’s really not an exaggeration. --- 12%? Feels like that number is actually underestimated. --- Are there really that many jobs that can be replaced right now? How many more years can we survive in this field? --- Finance is bearing the brunt. I’ve already heard some hedge funds are laying people off. --- As for the specific 11.7% figure, MIT is really being ruthless, turning something vague into something real. --- Administrative positions have it the worst; maybe creative jobs can hang on a bit longer? --- I just want to know if we in Web3 will be affected as well. Feeling a bit uneasy. --- If everything can be replaced, then what’s the point of choosing any major at all? --- Professional services? Even lawyers can’t make a living anymore?

It's time for finance workers to buy the dip in Bitcoin—after all, you'll lose your job sooner or later anyway.

The figure of 11.7% is correct, but the question is: how credible is the verification model? How complete is MIT's dataset, and how many sub-industry sectors does the sample cover?

Why is the number 11.7% so precise... Feels like it's just meant to scare people for the sake of it.

Finance professionals should be worried—12% are being directly replaced by AI. These numbers are brutal. --- Wait, 11.7% that precise? Feels like another one of those alarmist research papers. --- The finance sector got called out—our industry is really about to change. --- AI can already replace us? Then what are we waiting for, time to start looking for a new path. --- I'm more worried about salaries taking a dive than automation itself—that's the real killer move. --- Administrative jobs first? That means a ton of assistants are going to lose their jobs. --- If the data comes from MIT, it's probably trustworthy. But the problem is, what can we do? There's no stopping this wave. --- Damn, professional services made the list too. Even those "iron rice bowl" jobs like lawyers and accountants aren't safe anymore. --- Only 11.7% being replaced? Feels like it should be more. This report must be holding back. --- Finance roles got called out. Is my job still safe... I'm starting to get really nervous.

ngl the 11.7% precision is lowkey sus... like they're treating this as if there's consensus on what "replaceable" even means. sounds more like governance theater than actual data to me tbh

Finance professionals are about to lose their jobs again; this is honestly a bit harsh. 11.7%—that number doesn't sound like a scare tactic...
