Andrew Yang on the coming layoffs.

Andrew Yang explains why lawyers will be replaced by AI “The first thing that jumped into my mind when you said that was lawyer. Law school applications, last I checked, went up 21% last year, and I would suggest that was a flight to safety, and that stuff’s not safe at all. Lawyering is highly structured. It’s very process oriented. It’s kind of the ideal environment for AI” “I have friends who are partners in law firms who say, ‘Look, I’m giving AI work that would have taken a second or third year associate a week to complete, and it gives it back to me in 20 minutes. So why on earth would I hire a small army of these associates?’”

There would be a lot fewer workers at these companies’ manufacturing facilities in this version of the economy.

AI is going to make a lot of people feel poorer, not richer.

And the winner is @HamerlingMike! Will do this again soon. 👍

It’s @joinnoblemobile giveaway time! Just like this post and one person will get free wireless for a year, a ~$600 value. Winner chosen Thursday at random. The average American spends $83/month on wireless which is . . . twice what they do in other countries. 🤔 Good luck!

Andrew Yang is calling it "The Fuckening." That's his actual word for it. And honestly it fits. A CEO of a publicly traded tech company told him directly: "We're firing 15% now. Another 20% in two years. Another 20% after that." There are 70 million white collar workers in this country. Yang projects 20 to 50% of those jobs gone within a few years. The low end of that is 14 million people. The entire 2008 crisis wiped out 8.7 million. The difference this time is the jobs don't come back. A recession ends and companies rehire. This time the work still gets done. It just gets done by software. The position itself stops existing. Nothing expands margins like replacing a $379K employee with a $200/month subscription. We track it all at layoffhedge.com. 58 companies. 254,000 people. And climbing. Yang is writing about what's coming. We're counting what's already here.

Unfettered capitalism plus AI will be no one’s idea of a good time.

LAYOFF ALERT: DELL Dell just confirmed 11,000 jobs cut in their annual filing. They spent $569M on severance and called it “disciplined cost management.” The list keeps growing.

I’m pretty sure we should tax AI. blog.andrewyang.com/p/tax-the-bots

Guys, the AI layoffs are very real and are about to rip through organizations throughout the economy. Be prepared - and sad for those affected because it’s going to impact millions of people.

Welcome Scott to NYC tomorrow! 😀

The Fuckening of white-collar workers has arrived. blog.andrewyang.com/p/the-end-of-t…

We need to prove we can make people’s lives better. That’s how we move this state forward, this party forward, and our country forward.

BIG NEWS! "The Forward Party today announced that @mindyfinn will join the organization as Vice President of Advancement, bringing her extensive experience in politics, digital strategy, and coalition-building to the growing movement of voters seeking practical solutions and leadership beyond the two-party system."

The top 10% now account for almost half of all consumer spending. That’s not what you want to see.

How humans are doing and how GDP is doing are diverging very sharply.
