Episode notes
Frenemies Share AI Models
- Meta is using competitor LLMs like Google Gemini temporarily to add capabilities while it develops its own models.
- This reflects a pragmatic 'use what's best' approach despite heavy internal AI investment.
Entry-Level Workers Face Disproportionate Impact
- Stanford found AI is disproportionately impacting entry-level roles like software engineering and customer service.
- Employers may delay hiring juniors, risking future skill gaps and succession problems.
Prioritize Succession To Humans
- Do continue succession planning that includes human hires rather than replacing roles entirely with AI.
- Avoid relying solely on experienced hires because future talent pipelines will dry up without entry-level training.
