@_dylanmind Crazy numbers… but the “keep learning” part really hits. Feels like the people who treat AI as a co-pilot instead of a threat are the ones who’ll come out ahead.
Confirmed big tech layoffs in Q1

- Block: 4k
- Oracle: restructuring underway (20–30k planned)
- Atlassian: 1.6k
- Mastercard: 1.4k
- Salesforce: 1k
- Autodesk: 1k
- eBay: 800
- Pinterest: 700
- Meta (Reality Labs): 1.5k
Potential job cut in Q2
- Meta: 15–16k
- Oracle: 10–15k more
- Microsoft: 8–12k
- Google: 6–9k
- Amazon: 5–8k
- Apple: 2–4k
This isn't just another corporate moves due to market downturn. Companies are realizing AI can do more of the work than average officer does
The good news is you don't have to panic. If you're reading this, you are already early
Just keep learning and you will be fine
@_dylanmind Totally agree — we're trading short-term margins for a long-term talent famine. Who's already seeing the mid-level skill gap widening in their org?
@cbventures' 2026 ideas spotlight "Proof-of-Humanity" in AI + Robotics — a timely insight as AI erodes the line between human and synthetic content. Verifiable, privacy-preserving identity is essential. At Solo, our shared vision with our investor @TimDraper on privacy-first human verification inspired his lead investment earlier this year. We're delivering exactly that: Decentralized 1P1A (One Person, One Account) on-chain powered by our own zkFHE biometrics. Enabling Credible Anonymity for secure Web3 lending, frontier AI data labeling, and Sybil-resistant ecosystems.
Our live PoC achieves on-chain verifications in seconds; partnerships with @GEODNET, @Meet_Perle, @JoinSapien, and other leading projects demonstrate real-world impact for Solo-verified human data.
@HoolieG, @jonathankingvc — Let's talk on how Solo advances your PoH vision.
