Shownotes

AI is no longer just helping you write emails or clean up spreadsheets; it is watching, learning and preparing to do the job itself. In this episode, Chris and Saied break down Zuckerberg’s stunning explanation of employee-trained AI, the corporate obsession with cutting headcount in the name of “efficiency,” Elon Musk’s robot economy and the trillions in wages suddenly sitting in the crosshairs. Add a labor market nobody fully trusts and a bond market flashing warnings, and one question remains: when productivity explodes, who still gets a paycheck?
