Goldman Sachs: AI Won't Axe Bankers, Just Make Them Work Harder

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon dropped truth bombs like 'AI isn’t a job killer for bankers' right before the 10,000 Small Businesses Summit in Washington, proving optimism from Wall Street means salary bumps, not layoffs. OneGS 3.0 sounds like a dystopian software update where AI doesn’t cut staff but 'changes how analysts and associates work,' aka makes junior bankers sweat harder while AI crunches numbers. Despite a memo hinting at capped headcount growth, Solomon's betting on more 'high value people' because revenue per Goldman worker hit over $2.7 million in 2024—more than a small country's GDP. Meanwhile, OpenAI taxes ex-bankers like they're Hogwarts staff to make junior banker jobs redundant. Fun fact: Youth unemployment just exploded above 10%, but don’t worry, AI’s 'raising the bar'—aka firing the warm bodies so execs can live like royalty.
