In this episode, Koby Ofek discusses a pivotal week where the theoretical impact of AI on jobs snapped into sharp, unforgiving focus. He analyzes significant layoffs of entry-level AI tutors at xAI, the strategic rebuilding of freelance platform Fiverr around an 'AI-first' model, and a stunningly direct timeline for driver displacement from Uber's CEO. The conversation explores the closing of on-ramps for new workers, the reorganization of capital toward AI infrastructure, and the emerging operational reality of AI's effect on the labor market. Ofek connects these developments to show how the 'if' of AI job loss is being replaced by a very clear 'when' and 'how'.
