This resonates. "Even as I personally got extremely frustrated at times by the coverage from some corners, the fear people had is real. The reason the stories went viral is because the Supreme Court has made it clear that law is more a matter of will than of principle."

There is a reason people were afraid that the Supreme Court would take up case. The reason is the Supreme Court itself. Here's why I'm taking this whole experience seriously.

There isn’t much evidence that layoffs are being caused by AI taking people’s jobs.

For big tech, such as Amazon’s recent layoffs, the reason seems to be a combination of cutting headcount to balance increased spending on AI infrastructure and anticipation of (not realized) AI productivity gains.

Big spending on artificial intelligence puts pressure on jobs, as gloomy narratives about the future of work are ironically making new graduates less employable.
