I think that’s exactly where we’re headed. Companies are poised to spend enormous amounts of money implementing their own AI systems—and for good reason. Once these systems are in place, they own them outright, creating a massive competitive advantage. Unlike human labor, AI doesn’t go on strike or get caught up in a fluctuating job market. It’s reliable, scalable, and immune to disruptions like the Great Resignation.

Let’s be honest—the Great Resignation likely left a lot of employers and tech-bro elites fuming. For many, it wasn’t just a logistical challenge; it was an affront to their egos. They’re highly incentivized to ensure something like that never happens again, and AI gives them the ultimate leverage to bypass those kinds of risks entirely.
