  • If there's one thing that's defined the economy this year, it's this.

  • AI increasingly doing work that used to be done by humans.

  • You might just call it the year of the AI layoff.

  • Somewhere between 30 and 50 percent of his company's workload is now being handled by AI.

  • Employees knew it was coming, but they didn't know who was going to be laid off this morning.

  • They got the email.

  • 8,000 of them.

  • Bots instead of people.

  • And for a long time, the messages coming from AI leaders have felt kind of dark.

  • I think people are right to be anxious.

  • I understand it.

  • That's Sam Altman, CEO and co-founder of OpenAI.

  • This is not even a technological shift that happens every generation.

  • This is one of the big ones.

  • It's hard to imagine that there won't be some significant job impact there.

  • And that's Dario Amadei, CEO and co-founder of Anthropic.

  • And my worry is that it'll be broad and it'll be faster than what we've seen with previous technology.

  • Dario Amadei predicted, you know,

  • And that's like a massive, tectonic, very difficult thing to swallow for a lot of people.
