David Solomon, the Goldman CEO, is talking about.

So the fact that Dario is now walking this back and coming around to my position, I think that that's kind of amazing.

It's got checkboxes.

I was wrong.

Some mornings I woke up thinking, why am I going out defending these guys, these idiots?

I mean, they're scaring the public with all these dire predictions about an apocalyptic future.

There was no data to support that.

I mean, we can all debate what's going to happen in the future, and we probably should be humble about what is going to happen in the future because we don't completely know.

And the plural of anecdotes is not data.

If you look at the actual data like Yale Budget Lab did, they said no discernible disruption in the labor market in the last three years.

Due to AI, they've done a comprehensive study.

You look at job postings for software engineers, it's up 15% year over year.

Job postings for software developers have hit a new three-year high, despite the fact that coding is the single breakout use case of AI this year.
