One silver bullet: Adaptability
summary
Claim: AI shifts workflows but not fundamentals; hiring for learning to learn matters more than pedigree. Gives concrete evidence: a grad builds an LM code reviewer that actually saves reviewers' time, organizations adapt existing ops to LM APIs and agents, Capgemini hires more than a hundred grads, one VP hires a junior who quickly ships unfamiliar tech. Covers prompt/context/token limits, what was built, and which numbers and hires succeeded.
