      A few days ago I watched Ed Zitron say that CEOs need to stop saying AI will destroy jobs if they don’t want people to throw Molotovs at their houses. I’m sure this is completely coincidental

      “The narrative of AI destroying jobs is not going to help America. First of all it’s false. Of course with every technology…jobs of the past are changed.” - Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia
      
      When Block is laying off 40% and Snapchat 16% claiming it’s due to AI, it’s hard to call that narrative false.

      I turned on the game moments ago in time to catch that goal and I'll now commit to watching the final minutes per the proper rules of superstition. 😆🫡
