30,700 jobs cut in 6 weeks.
The same AI that deleted those jobs could run your entire business.
Amazon. 16,000 positions. Meta. 1,500. Pinterest. Oracle. Salesforce. Block. Autodesk. The list reads like a hall of fame of companies you used to dream about working for.
55% of hiring managers expect more layoffs this year. 44% say AI is the reason.
You spent years building skills that generated millions for these companies. You mastered their systems, their processes, their politics. And now they're telling you a language model can do it for less.
Here's what's infuriating: they're right about the tool. They're wrong about who should be holding it.
The same AI stack that makes you "redundant" on an org chart is the same stack that lets one person build what used to require a team of ten. A solo operator with the right system now earns $127 an hour. The ones without it? $31.
The difference isn't the technology. It's who's wielding it.
You can keep sending resumes into a market that's shrinking by the week.
Or you can pick up the weapon they used against you and build something of your own.
This Saturday.
