The Jobs Report Is Worse Than It Looks

All these think boys and these AI marketers that are just going crazy on X about all this stuff.

Prof G Markets
The Jobs Report Is Worse Than It Looks

I'm of two minds.

Prof G Markets

I do appreciate what they're experiencing, which is, if they're engineers, a key part of their lives quickly changing before their very eyes in a very fast clip.

Prof G Markets

And I do think there is a bit of a gap between the rest of the world that is not experiencing that.

Prof G Markets
The Jobs Report Is Worse Than It Looks

and is just experiencing ChatGPT, which, you know, will still add an extra finger to a hand or something like that.

And then these coding systems building apps and software, you know, one-shotted.

Prof G Markets

So will that generalize is the debate.

Like Figma does giant fortune 500, you know, many, many seat deployments has a huge network effect of like people using it together on teams.

Prof G Markets

I don't see tools like that getting completely destroyed in the near term, maybe in the long term, but I think everyone's jittery and everyone's looking for a reason to sell.

Prof G Markets
The Jobs Report Is Worse Than It Looks

So any new thing gives you that opportunity.

Prof G Markets
The Jobs Report Is Worse Than It Looks

It is.

I think also if you're an AI researcher who has been relatively invisible inside of one of these companies, and I don't want to suggest that these people don't mean well or they don't believe what they're saying, but your departure note is your claim to fame.

Prof G Markets
