Retail sales workers.

Delivery truck drivers, farmers, cooks, food and beverage sales, waiters and waitresses, electricians, plumbers, they're safe.

This is changing.

This is real.

And so Facebook, Zuck is saying this to his engineers.

On the back end, Tom, I think it's very important to know that Zuck knows that, like, imagine you're an engineer.

You went to school.

You're one of the best engineers.

I know that you know your job is about to be replaced by this AI software.

We both know.

So my concern is I want the best from you.

What can I do to get the best from you so you don't get distracted and go to a different place?

Tom, can you unpack what Facebook did, what Meta did to these guys that are helping of the AI getting smarter when it comes down to coding?

Right now when Meta hires – by the way, amidst all these layoffs, Meta is still hiring –

brilliant engineers to come in, work on AI and other projects.

And right now, they are still at half a million, million dollar signing bonuses.

There was headlines that an elite engineer received $100 million signing bonus.

And Pat, what they were talking about, they gave him a bunch of stock options, that person, that if they go over time and Facebook keeps growing, it's $100 million.

But right now, this is where they're at right now.

Level E6 is what they call a staff engineer.
