So Coinbase laid off a bunch of people last week.
2
And the CEO sent out this letter.

And by letter, I mean tweet.

A really beautifully written tweet explaining that the layoffs were not because of mismanagement.
5
No, no, no, no, no.
6
Brian, see, was a victim.
7
We're all victims.
8
The AI was just too damn productive.
9
And I mean, he tried.
10
He got on his knees and he begged the GPUs to slow down.
11
It's like, please think about the families.
12
But it was no use.
13
The productivity gains were already realized.
14
Now, this isn't an economics video.
15
This is a survival video.
16
The question is, what do you do to survive?
17
You become the problem.
18
You are going to become the most insufferable, the most LinkedIn-sounding motherfucker, the most aggressively pro-AI person in your entire company.
19
Starting tomorrow.
20
I'm serious.
21
I want you to go to ChatGPT, and I want you to ask it for a list of 100 AI buzzwords.
22
And I want you to print them out and tape them to your bathroom mirror.

And every morning while you brush your teeth, I want you to practice them.

sharp, you're going to send an email to your entire organization.
34
Include members of the board as well.
35
The email subject is going to be some thoughts on where we're headed.
36
The body of the email will be, hey team, I've been giving this a lot of thoughts, And I think it's time we became an AI first company I have some experience in this space and I'm happy to be the Sherpa on this journey
37
Reach out if you'd like to set up some time Okay, send it just send it and at this point if you can make this email leak this will put you in the major leagues Well, that's a strategy for another video now.
38
You're gonna host weekly workshops Okay, you'll call them AI office hours every Friday at 3 p.m.
39
in conference room B You're gonna print flyers that says got AI questions.
40
I've got AI answers Nobody else in the company will be doing this and certainly no one else will have flyers.
41
But here's the trick, okay?
42
The workshops are not for them.
43
They're for you.
44
They are reconnaissance.
45
You are going to find out in real time exactly how little anybody at this company actually understands AI and you're going to exploit this gap to figure out exactly what content to serve your audience.

And he's going to say, what's a Ralph Loop?
54
And you will say, give me $18,000 worth of API credits and I'll show you.
55
Now you won't actually do anything because you can't do anything because nobody can because nobody knows what they're doing.
56
But by the time he figures that out, you'll have a new title and an equity bump.
57
What you want to be doing is automating.
58
Talk about automation constantly.
59
Nothing arouses the slumbering capitalists than the mention of automation.
60
Drop names too, bro.

This is cynical, and it's bad advice.
98
I would never do this.
99
And I want you to listen to me, okay?
100
This little Gandhi stance you're taking will not pay off.

105
He's in his office studying Brian's tweet.
106
He is whispering, we have made the difficult decision, we have made the difficult decision, out loud, just to feel it in his mouth.

It will not make a farts width of difference.
110
You want to take a stance, go be vegan, man.

But at work, in this climate, being a realist will get you canned, bro.

You have one obligation, and that is to make sure there is a roof on top of your family's heads, and food on the table.
114
Stop being such a dick, dude, and provide for your family.
115
And whenever it gets to be too much, come back here, okay?
116
Because between you and me, you and I know what's actually true.
117
And it's that AI is a calculator.
118
It's not the singularity.
119
It's a damn tool.
120
Reasonable people know this.
121
And now you know why everyone around you is pretending that AI is the second coming of consciousness.
122
It's because they're getting promoted.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
