She joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.”

Big tech companies cut a lot people who are not nerds in her team. If these aren’t able to train their people in AI, which kinds of companies can do? Back to be schoolers? 😅

The spending is creating jobs outside big techs’ organizations. Is the spending creating more jobs in construction, chip manufacturing, energy, etc offsetting jobs within Facebook and others? I do not have the answer but I’ll likely research it on AI.
