I think most AI job losses happen this way.
Slowly cull your workforce through voluntarily or accelerated attrition while drastically slowing hiring. Not necessarily mass layoffs just a grinding halt to new hires.
“Microsoft is offering buyouts to around 60,000 employees”

“COBOL is still deeply load-bearing in banking, especially at the core: account ledgers, overnight batch processing, and card/ATM authorization. The widely cited estimates are that roughly 43% of banking systems and 95% of ATM swipes run on COBOL code, and that around 80% of in-person banking transactions pass through it.”

Chamath is an idiot.
For one… Satoshi doesn’t have a wallet.
Rather he holds Bitcoin in over 22,000 different addresses (essentially different “wallets” none connected to the other).
Two… SHA-256 isn't what guards anyone’s coins.

BREAKING: Pentagon prepares every major US military base to operate for at least 90 days without outside electricity, fuel, water or supplies, anticipating a major war that could cripple power grids, break global supply chains and threaten critical infrastructure on US soil, per Fox News.
The plans include portable nuclear reactors, large-scale battery storage and microgrids able to disconnect installations from the civilian electrical grid entirely.
