So we now have one AI startup run by Jeff Bezos and another AI startup run by Beff Jezos. What a weird timeline.
Expect a third soon. Bezos really wants to have another hit.

I don't think many of us are questioning the real spend going into AI - it's the return on that spend that we're wondering about.
There is pretty concrete published data that shows trends in less hiring for roles that are easily replaced by AI such as content writers and front-end developers Personally I let go a developer I was using because I only had them around for front end work and now I'm much more productive just doing that with Claude Code directly So the returns for the average business are largely due to less employee and contractors…
Is there any concrete evidence that lower hiring is due to AI, and not due to some other factor - such as a stalling economy? I suspect AI growth is the only thing currently staving off a full-blown recession.

There is significantly less hiring for roles that AI can replace easily compared to roles that it can't replace easily
If there was decreased hiring simply because of the economy then why would it only be impacting certain job roles? Hmm... Mystery...

Amazon itself has become so corrupted and disfunctional that all of their internal AI efforts amount to just burning billions for bottom-of-the-barrel results[0]. I'm not surprised that 5 person startups are building better AI products than all of Amazon, or that Bezos decided to start an AI company outside of Amazon. [0] https://labs.amazon.science/
I wasn't referring to Amazon as the other AI startup. I was referring to another guy who is known by the name "Beff Jezos", who runs Extropic.

I alluded to it in my comment but let me make it even more clear There is significantly less hiring for roles that AI can replace easily compared to roles that it can't replace easily If there was decreased hiring simply because of the economy then why would it only be impacting certain job roles? Hmm... Mystery...
