I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran. This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war. Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons. I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late. Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.

In 1977, after Citi spent $50 million to install ATMs in a bunch of its branches, people thought the idea that ATMs would replace bank tellers was absurd. Lines in Citi branches were longer, as customers avoided the new machines queued up to talk to a human. They were wrong. Between 1980 and 2000, the number of ATMs installed in U.S. bank branches exploded and usage soared, as consumers realized how convenient they are for routine tasks. Market observers changed their minds and predicted the imminent death of the bank teller as a profession. They were wrong. By 2010, economists had started to notice that the number of bank tellers had actually risen over prior three decades. Their explanation was that ATMs were a complementary technology that freed up tellers to focus on higher-value relationship banking tasks and that bank tellers would be safe. They were wrong. Since 2010, the total number of bank tellers in the U.S. has fallen off a cliff. Market observers now explain the growth of the bank teller profession between 1980 and 2010 as a function of deregulation (interstate banking, specifically) which drove a massive increase in the total number of branches in the U.S. (even though each branch could get by with fewer tellers thanks to ATMs). These observers expect that smartphones, which ushered in a completely different competitive paradigm in financial services in the 2010s and 2020s, will eventually lead to the death of the bank teller as a profession. Maybe! Or, as has happened repeatedly in this story, maybe they're wrong! In 2024, JPMorgan Chase — a company that fully understands the potential of ATMs and mobile banking and that, I promise you, is not soft-hearted when it comes to the topic of automation and job destruction — embarked on a plan to open more than 500 new branches, renovate 1,700 existing branches, and hire 3,500 employees to work in them. I share this story because, at a time when everyone is rightly worried about the impact that AI will have on the job market, it's important to remember that old William Goldman line (which @DKThomp recently introduced into the AI/jobs debate): Nobody knows anything.
