TLDR

TO LURE TOP AI TALENT, STARTUPS ARE TURNING TO COLD HARD CASH

High-growth AI startups are flush with venture capital. Combined with a wildly competitive talent market, this has caused increasingly creative incentive structures and more cash-heavy offers. Startups are focusing on hiring the best as they need to stay lean and small. This is creating a split economy in the tech industry where the top 5% to 10% of candidates are getting all of the offers and the rest are struggling.

SEEING LIKE A SPREADSHEET

AI will see much further than the spreadsheet ever could. It will allow businesses to accomplish incredible things, and make possible coordinations of labor and capital more ambitious than anything we can imagine today. However, as corporations become dominated by AI systems, the most human elements of organizations may be devalued or discarded entirely. Great organizations are great because of something irreducible about the collection and organization of particular people toward particular ends.
