Amazon CEO Andy Jassy says artificial intelligence is already changing how labor gets done across the economy, particularly in white-collar jobs where companies historically scaled by simply adding more people. In a recent interview with The Information, Jassy says AI is not a job-killer, but a force that will compress labor needs by automating large portions of routine work across technical and knowledge-based roles. “And my own view is that in the short term, quite a short to medium term, that you will find that a number of jobs that we’ve just thrown people at over the last 20 years,…

The chief executive of a $350 billion AI startup is sounding the alarm about the exponential pace of AI development, believing that tech will be able to do nearly all human jobs in just a few years. In a new essay titled The Adolescence of Technology, Dario Amodei says his predicted AI-driven labor market disruption cannot be viewed through the lens of past technological breakthroughs, such as the agricultural or the Internet revolutions. According to Amodei, the pace of AI progress is at breakneck speed and may continue to accelerate as artificial intelligence agents write code themselves. “For example, in…
Michael Burry says GameStop’s transformation under CEO Ryan Cohen resembles an old and disciplined playbook pioneered by Warren Buffett. In a new Substack post, the Scion Asset Management founder says Cohen’s strategy is a capital-allocation exercise built around patience, balance-sheet repair and opportunistic acquisitions rather than retail enthusiasm. Burry recalls Buffett’s decision to shut down his hedge fund in the 1960s and refocus Berkshire Hathaway as a holding company, using unconventional metrics to measure long-term performance. “When Warren Buffett ended his hedge fund in 1969 and turned his focus on Berkshire Hathaway as a holding company, he began what was…
Bill Gates says AI has not yet fully hit the US labor market, but he believes the impact is coming soon and will reshape both white-collar and blue-collar work. Speaking in a CNBC interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the Microsoft co-founder outlines a clear timeline for when AI-driven disruption is likely to become visible across different parts of the economy. Gates says the current softness in the labor market has not been decisively driven by AI so far, but warns that the next several years will look very different, especially for office-based roles. “Maybe not to date,…
The chief executive of stablecoin issuer Circle says the convergence of three technologies will enable people to receive loans at a pace never seen before. In a new interview on the All-In Podcast, Jeremy Allaire says digital dollars like USDC will fully power software-based credit markets, removing many of the frictions that slow lending today. According to Allaire, stablecoins make it possible to underwrite real economic activity directly, while pricing risk and insurance algorithmically. “If you have these digital cash things, like USDC, you can create lending protocols that are lending for, ‘I want to hire a new employee, or…
A new Gallup survey finds that companies across the United States are adopting artificial intelligence, but AI use among employees remains uneven. The latest data from the management consulting firm shows that employees who already use AI at work increased their usage slightly in Q4 of 2025, continuing a gradual climb that began in 2023. Daily AI use among US workers rose from 10% to 12% in Q4, while frequent use, defined as at least a few times per week, increased three percentage points to 26%. Meanwhile, total AI users, those using the tech daily, a few times a week,…
A live trading experiment suggests AI models are not just matching human investors but outperforming the broader stock market by a wide margin. In a new post on X, Rallies.ai says it allocated $100,000 to multiple large language models and allowed them to trade autonomously starting in late November. The firm tracked the performance of eight different AI systems, comparing their results against each other and against the S&P 500 over the same period. Rallies.ai says one model quickly pulled ahead. “CLAUDE IS DESTROYING THE S&P 500 Claude is not only good at coding, but it’s also good at investing?!?!…
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is pushing back against growing national security concerns around US AI chips and China, specifically the sale of H200 chips to a rival nation. In a new interview with Fox Business, Huang says China’s military develops its own chips and has ample domestic alternatives, reducing the strategic risk often cited in debates over export controls. He points to the rapid growth of China’s homegrown AI semiconductor ecosystem as evidence that Chinese defense systems are not dependent on Nvidia technology. “First of all, H200 is not used by their military, because their military, like our military, builds…
Elon Musk says Tesla’s long-term value now has little to do with cars and almost everything to do with autonomy and humanoid robots. In a series of new posts on X, Musk says Tesla’s massive valuation to the tune of $1.41 trillion is due to its autonomous systems, which include cars and now humanoid robots. According to Musk, global productivity would see a massive boost once Optimus rolls out at scale. “Due to autonomy, Tesla is worth more than the rest of the auto industry. That is before Optimus reaches scale production and increases Earth GDP by an order of…
Google DeepMind chief executive Demis Hassabis says the company is focused on execution and product delivery rather than reacting to competitive pressure from OpenAI. In December, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman declared a company-wide “code red” following Google’s recent Gemini product update. When asked in a new Financial Times interview whether the directive had any impact on DeepMind’s strategy, Hassabis says Google’s approach is to ignore the noise. “It’s fine. We just focus on ourselves, and I think that’s what we’ve got to do, is kind of block out the noise and just execute, focus on the quality of our research,…
