My fellow AI explorers
Two stories crossed my desk this week that felt like opposite ends of the same boom.
One says the AI buildout is minting six-figure jobs for people who never set foot in a computer science lecture. The other says a 25-year-old who wrote the essay on where AI is headed just watched $35 billion evaporate in a matter of weeks, because being right about the technology and being right about the trade are two very different skills.
Add in a price war that is making the world's smartest software cheaper by the week, and you've got a genuinely strange moment for anyone trying to figure out where the money, the jobs, and the risk actually sit.
