A Financial Times analysis this week revealed that professional services firms are not merely shedding junior staff as AI absorbs their work — they are redesigning what an entry-level analyst or associate even is. Chris and Laura dig into the roughly 35% collapse in entry-level postings, McKinsey's AI-fluency interviews built around its Lilli platform, Baker McKenzie's layoffs, PwC's shrinking audit classes, and the looming question of who trains the partner class of 2034.

Two milestones just turned AI drug discovery from promise into a real world test. Isomorphic Labs, the Google DeepMind spinoff built on the AlphaFold lineage, is moving its first AI designed molecules into human oncology trials, while Insilico Medicine has pushed rentosertib, an AI discovered treatment for the lung disease idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, into a pivotal Phase 3 study. With roughly 60 billion dollars invested since 2019, around 200 AI originated programs in human trials, and still zero FDA approvals, Chris and Laura dig into why 2026 is the year AI designed medicines finally have to prove they actually work.
