| 0:00.0 | This week, I read three different headlines on major companies utilizing AI and laying off workers |
| 0:06.2 | and everything else that completely shifted my view. |
| 0:08.8 | I actually went from thinking that AI is years to come and all this stuff is going to happen |
| 0:14.0 | then to this stuff is here right now. And if we don't start changing as business owners, |
| 0:18.6 | if we don't start changing as people with jobs and everything else, we will be left behind. |
| 0:23.5 | So we're going to discuss all three of these headlines all the way from meta laying off 20% of its workforce to Elon stopping production on the Model X and the Model S to Pokemon Go actually being this massive front for AI data collection. And today I've got my bald |
| 0:39.0 | co-host, Brian DeVilla. What's up, man? Bald co-host. Let's go, baby. Bro, let's jump right into this. |
| 0:44.7 | So meta laid off 20% or they're going to lay off 20% of their staff. I don't know if it's happened |
| 0:50.9 | quite yet, but basically they're saying it's due to AI. |
| 0:55.1 | Wow. And I look at this and it's like, well, this is tens of thousands of jobs. I mean, |

| 1:12.8 | interaction with humans. Every time we talk to an account manager, it's useless. And I've always |
| 1:18.2 | I'm like, yeah, I mean, I don't even know what these guys are doing over here half the time because |
| 1:21.5 | the account managers aren't much help. But what do you think about when you hear headlines like |
| 1:26.7 | this? I'll give my thoughts, but |
| 1:27.9 | when I hear laying off 20%, uh, I think it's going to negatively impact the economy. |
| 1:36.3 | I think the unemployment rate's going to go up. I think a lot of people are going to be |
| 1:40.2 | looking for jobs. And I think that's just a sign of what's coming right now. Well, for me, |
| 1:47.9 | I looked at it and I said, okay, I just watched a block, which used to be square with Jack Dorsey. |
| 1:53.1 | They laid off like half of the entire company. And he basically wrote this open letter and he goes, |
| 1:58.3 | yo, here's the deal. Like, this is the future |
