🦔 Layoffs are back — and they’re bigger than you think.
Through September, U.S. companies cut nearly 950,000 jobs — the highest year-to-date total since 2020 and worse than any full year since the Great Recession (excluding COVID). October alone brought headlines: 💻 Amazon – 14,000 corporate roles gone (AI cited as a factor) 🏪 Target – 1,800 jobs cut ☕ Starbucks – 900 employees laid off 🎬 Paramount – 1,000 roles eliminated Even Southwest Airlines announced its first major layoffs ever. Government jobs made up ~300,000 of those cuts, but tech and retail are taking the brunt. “We’re not just in a low hire, low fire environment anymore. We’re firing.” – Dan North, Allianz Trade The new pattern? AI is accelerating restructuring. 60%+ of executives on LinkedIn say AI will replace entry-level tasks. Companies are trimming labor to protect profits amid tariffs and cost pressures. Job security is no longer guaranteed — even in stable sectors. Source: zerohedge, Bloomberg
🔥 “We’ve entered the AI virtuous cycle.” — Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA (CNBC)
At the APEC CEO Summit in South Korea, Jensen Huang painted a powerful picture of what’s happening in AI right now — and why growth might only accelerate from here. He explained it simply: “The AIs get better. More people use it. More people use it — it makes more profit. More profit creates more factories. More factories create better AIs. And the cycle repeats.” That’s the AI virtuous cycle — a self-reinforcing loop driving innovation, usage, and investment at record speed. 💡 The result? Smarter models → More adoption → Bigger profits → Massive infrastructure buildouts → Even smarter models. It’s not just hype, it’s momentum. Big Tech is pouring billions into AI infrastructure, fueling this cycle and redefining how fast industries evolve. Source: CNBC
