1
So Coinbase laid off a bunch of people last week.
2
And the CEO sent out this letter.
3
And by letter, I mean tweet.
4
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.
23
And every morning while you brush your teeth, I want you to practice them.
24
Rel floop.
25
Rel floop.
26
Door cache.
27
store, cash, agentic, orchestration, multi-agent, neocloud.
28
By the time you walk out of the door, you should have a low-grade fever.
29
You should be slightly nauseous.
30
This is good.
31
This is a positive symptom.
32
Then at 9 a.m.
33
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.
46
Your audience being the AI simpletons on your team.
47
Now, if your CEO has never heard the phrase Ralph Loop, oh man.
48
You are less than 30 days away from your next promotion.
49
I'm not even exaggerating.
50
Walk into his office, close the door and say, hey chief, been experimenting with something.
51
It's called Ralph Loops.
52
And I think it could change literally everything.
53
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.
61
Like, talk about specific team members you can automate out of existence.
62
Be like, yo,
63
i automated gary bro tag gary in the message tag him in slack in a very public channel be like yo i just automated at gary his function has been
64
ralph looped and tag your ceo in the same message you think you're getting laid off after that bro like are you out of your mind this is how you survive the storm it does not matter who is right and it does not matter who is wrong a storm is neither right nor wrong.
65
Like, dude, if you're an AI contrarian at your company right now, like, what are you doing?
66
Resign, dude.
67
Resign voluntarily, man.
68
This is highly disgraceful.
69
The only place you should be talking about AI realism is here with me or with your dog.
70
Do not let anyone, not even your own wife, hear you be negative or balanced about AI.
71
Are you kidding me, dude?
72
There's only one way to make money off being an AI realist, and I've already cornered the market and I'm barely getting by, man.
73
The most important thing, the absolute most important thing is that you are no longer going to do any work.
74
Okay.
75
You're not going to write any code.
76
You're not even going to type.
77
You're going to dictate.
78
You're going to use a voice tool.
79
You're going to speak to Claude.
80
You're going to speak to your team on Slack.
81
You're going to speak in meetings and workshops.
82
And at no point are your fingers ever going to touch a keyboard because we We have transcended labor, my friend.
83
We have ascended.
84
Engineering is no longer a craft.
85
Engineering is a metaphysical practice now.
86
We do not write code.
87
We commune with code.
88
We cleanse the repo of bad energy.
89
We are philosophers of the code base.
90
And at this point, if you have a black turtleneck, put it on, okay?
91
If you don't, get one.
92
Get two.
93
Have a backup turtleneck.
94
Steve Jobs did not have a backup.
95
That was his mistake.
96
Now, I want to address the people in the comments who are about to type, hey, man, this is super messed up.
97
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.
101
The CEO of your company is currently taking the Coinbase memo, and he's asking ChatGPT 5.2 to draft one for his own company.
102
He needs the views, man.
103
He needs an invitation to the All In Summit, okay?
104
He needs Chamath to mention him on the pod.
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.
107
And you taking a stance against AI will not change his mind.
108
It will not change the trajectory of AI.
109
It will not make a farts width of difference.
110
You want to take a stance, go be vegan, man.
111
Go open an account on threads.
112
But at work, in this climate, being a realist will get you canned, bro.
113
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.
123
They're keeping their jobs, and you're not.
124
Put on your turtleneck, and I'll see you on the other side.

关于本课

在本课中,学习者将练习如何通过观察和模仿,提高英语发音。通过一段关于AI裁员的视频内容,学习者将接触到实用的商业英语词汇和短语,这些都适用于现代职场交流。学习者的问题解决能力和沟通技巧将在此过程中得到提升,这是备战雅思口语练习的有效策略。

关键词汇与短语

  • AI - 人工智能
  • 生产力 - Productivity
  • 战略 - Strategy
  • 探测 - Reconnaissance
  • 办公室时间 - Office Hours
  • AI 优先公司 - AI First Company
  • 激进支持 AI - Aggressively Pro-AI
  • 竞争优势 - Competitive Advantage

练习技巧

为了更好地提高英语发音,学习者在模仿本视频内容时可以使用影子练习的方法。建议学习者在观看视频时同时开口跟读,尽量模仿演讲者的语调和节奏。视频中的说话速度适中,适合进行影子讲话练习。

首先,可以选择视频的片段进行反复观看,最初可以先听一遍,试着去理解其中的意思。接下来,播放视频时暂停并复述短句,利用每个句子的重复加强记忆。当遇到不熟悉的词汇或发音时,随时暂停并查阅相关发音资料,帮助培养对英语语音和语调的敏感度。

在练习结束后,可以将所学的商业英语词汇记录下来,定期复习,这不仅对提高英语发音有帮助,也是雅思口语练习的有效补充。定期的阅读和模仿,可以为你在职场中发言时提供更大的自信和流利度。

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
