Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, airlines got exposed for charging solo travelers more than groups for the same exact ticket.
Ben, is AI really going to take your job? One major CEO certainly thinks so. It's Monday, June 2nd. Let's ride.
Good morning and welcome back to the week. Apparently the 1% are not feeling 100%. A new report from CNBC stated that rentals in the Hamptons this summer are down nearly a third from the same period in the last few years. The picture is even bleaker at the ultra high end of the market where the Hamptons rental business is down between 50% and 75%. The lower demand has prompted some listings to lower their prices by 10 to 20% to save their summer. Toby, either this is a sign of economic uncertainty or everyone is finally realizing the Jersey Shore is just better.
Or you put on your meteorologist hat and realize that it's been cold and rainy in May, so maybe people are just delaying their vacations a little bit. I tend to think that maybe It also could be a recession indicator, though, because the demand is just simply not there. And if you zoom out to the broader second home market, homebuyers took out just 86,000 mortgages for second homes last year per Redfin. That is down 66% from the pandemic homebuying peak. It was the lowest since 2018. So yes, you can bust out the world's tiniest violin for these one percenters, but also possibly a recession indicator if the wealthiest are clamming up and holding onto their cash a little bit more. And now a word from our sponsor, LinkedIn ads. Neil, you ever get stuck in zone nine on a flight?
Every single time. By the time I board, there's no overhead bin space and it feels like I always get the row right next to the bathroom.
Yikes, that's an eye mask, ear plug, nose plug situation right there. Just block everything out, which is basically the exact opposite of what LinkedIn allows you to do. With LinkedIn ads, you're not just in the right zone. You're in group one, baby. You can target exactly who you need by job title, company, seniority, industry.
LinkedIn has over 1 billion professionals and 130 million decision makers. It's why B2B marketers in some industries get up to five times higher return on ad spend compared to other platforms.
Don't leave your campaign at zone nine in the middle seat next to Neil in the bathrooms.
Instead, start targeting like a pro. And to get started, LinkedIn will give you a $100 credit on your next campaign. Just go to linkedin.com slash MBD. That's linkedin.com slash MBD. Terms and conditions apply.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amadei recently warned that an AI job apocalypse is coming.
What warnings did the Anthropic CEO give about AI?
He didn't use those words exactly, but he may as well have because according to an interview with Axios, Amadei thinks AI could eliminate up to half of all entry-level white-collar jobs and push unemployment as high as 20% within five years, a scenario he says the government and tech leaders are dangerously underestimating. He believes most Americans don't grasp how fast AI capabilities are accelerating and especially agentic AI, that can replace humans across white-collar fields like law, finance, and tech, and by the time they do, it may be too late. Now, the irony here is that Anthropic just released a new, wildly powerful model called Claude Opus 4, which threatened to blackmail an engineer, so he is pushing forward the very technology he is sounding off about. Amadei does acknowledge AI's massive upside,
