"The thing that everyone says is, like, Get familiar with the tools. And I do think there is some merit in that. Like, I think that if you have not touched Claude Code or Codex or one of these agentic coding tools, maybe the last time you used an L.L.M., you know, for serious work was a year or two ago, I think it's worth getting back up to speed on that."
"They need to be telling them, Hey, my boss is telling me that I need to start using A.I. every day and that there's a high risk that I'm about to lose my job, and that maybe there's going to be permanent unemployment in some job categories. What is your plan for that? Right? Many economists are looking at that, and they believe that is at least a possibility in at least some industries."
Many people tune out warnings that artificial intelligence will radically change work because immediate daily needs take priority. Familiarity with current AI tools like Claude Code, Codex, and agentic coding systems can help workers update skills after a year or two away from LLM usage. Employers increasingly expect daily AI use, raising concerns about job loss and possible permanent unemployment in some categories. Constituents should press lawmakers for concrete plans and protections against displacement. Several economists view significant job disruption as a realistic possibility in some industries. Skepticism exists toward claims that technology will automatically create sufficient new jobs.
