I started keeping a list.
Want to see it? Read on.
- OpenAI raised $122B in a single funding round. More than some countries spend in a year.
- Oracle fired up to 30,000 people by email at 6AM. No call. No meeting. They fired them because they're spending the 95% increase in profits money on data centres
- Amazon got thousands of engineers to spend months documenting every code pattern, every workflow, every optimisation trick... then fed it all to AI. Then fired them. Made them train their own replacement.
- Grok AI is paying Wall Street bankers to teach it how to think like a banker. So it can REPLACE ….Wall St Bankers.
- JP Morgan apparently warned $150B in bank loans could be at risk because the workers backing those loans are being replaced.
- Entry-level job postings are reportedly down 35% in two years. The first rung of the ladder is disappearing.
Most people are pretending like this isnt happening.
And most people will read it, nod, say "wow, crazy times" and do absolutely NOTHING.
The problem is that people confuse being INFORMED with being PREPARED.
They think because they read an article about AI, they're somehow ready for what's coming. They're not. Reading about push-ups doesn't make you stronger.
People are BUILDING with AI. And now the gap between us is enormous, not cleverer.
So when someone tells me "yeah I've been meaning to look into AI" — honestly? I don't know what to SAY to them anymore.
Because the list I just read you? That wasn't a year of news. That was just the last THREE WEEKS.
And next month's list will be more crazy.
The window where you can start and still catch up is CLOSING.
How do you plan on fixing that?
