And there, you know, there have been cases of like the Klarna CEO who laid off a bunch of people thinking that he would replace everyone with AI and then it didn't actually work and he had to ask some people to come back.

I'm really glad you read this because I think it touches on some really important nuances to AI.

Yeah, like the impact that AI is going to have on employment.

So I think there's often these binary narratives.

It's like AI is going to come for every job.

Or people say AI is not actually working and it's not actually coming for jobs.

And like...

The reality is it's coming for jobs.

There are definitely jobs that are being automated away because of the capabilities of their models.

And there's also jobs that are being lost because executives are deciding to lay off the workers, even if the models don't match the capabilities because it's good enough.

Like they would rather have the good enough model for way cheaper jobs.

Exactly.

Like, there's many reasons.

But, like, clearly we're already seeing impacts on the job market.

Like, the U.S.

jobs report that came out earlier this year showed that there has been a decline in hiring, a slowdown in hiring across especially white-collar professional jobs.

And notice that these are all the things that I just named, that they purposely finance, math, law, healthcare.

Media and arts, that's me cooked.

Yeah.

So I'm not doing my job.
