Description

Michael digs into a groundbreaking New York Times report revealing Amazon’s push to automate up to 600,000 jobs — and what it means for the future of American work. NYT tech correspondent Karen Weise joins to explain what she saw inside Amazon’s most advanced robotic facility, how automation is reshaping warehouse labor, and why this shift is already underway. Michael also revisits a professor’s bold prediction of 99% unemployment, audience skepticism, and the broader debate over AI’s impact on jobs. A must-listen for anyone wondering where the workforce is headed next. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
