Gartner told six thousand of the world's most senior technology executives that AI will create more jobs than it destroys. Jensen Huang told investors that every piece of software on earth will become autonomous. Both cannot be true.
This week David Richards MBE dismantles the Gartner jobs forecast in four arguments, including the junior talent death spiral the consulting industry refuses to name. He explains what Huang's March declaration at the Morgan Stanley conference actually means for every SaaS business alive today. And he shares the unfiltered response to his Yorkshire Post column on the collapse of the software moat, including what the people still in denial are saying out loud and why it matters.
The layoff tracker closes it. Eighty thousand, seven hundred roles eliminated in 2026. The Big Four audit pyramid is in structural collapse. PwC and KPMG have confirmed. Deloitte is next. Labour is the new interest expense.
The gap between what Gartner is promising and what Huang is building is where entire careers disappear.
Most people will not notice until they are inside it.
