The doomers, the gloomers, it's going to take our jobs.
The anxiety is boiling.
You're seated and represented in polls and just anecdotal feelings.

furious that their kid who went to Stanford and got this unbelievable degree is not getting as many interviews as mom and dad expected their perfect child to get.
But you have a different take on all this.

I mean, and yes, there's difficulties with entry-level jobs.
And if you listen to the press, including, by the way, a bunch of the AI people who make foolish statements like white-collar bloodbath and other kinds of things, they go, well, it's AI's fault.
And it's like, actually, if you actually look at it, thus far, it's not AI's fault.
It doesn't mean there won't be an impact from AI and all that stuff and entry-level jobs.

Yeah.
Well, overhyped, but it's a natural reason for a CEO to say that, because...
If I was like, oh, I overhired and I mismanaged, it's my fault.
