Citadel Securities published this graph showing a strange phenomenon.
Job postings for software engineers are actually seeing a massive spike.
Classic example of the Jevons paradox. When AI makes coding cheaper, companies actually may need a lot more software engineers, not fewer.
When software is cheaper to build, companies naturally want to build a lot more of it. Businesses are now putting software into industries and tools where it was simply too expensive before.

When it comes to autonomous vehicles, safety is my top priority.
Yesterday, I asked a witness at a @HouseCommerce CMT subcommittee hearing why a federal framework for AVs is so important.
Excessive regulatory mandates are unnecessarily raising the costs of cars for American families.
Watch as @RepGuthrie discusses how modernizing standards can encourage innovation to make cars safer.
1/2. Thank you to @USDOT@SecDuffy, @NHTSAgov Administrator Morrison, and @NHTSAgov Chief Counsel Simshauser for an enriching conversation. On behalf of @Zoox, we appreciate your leadership on autonomous vehicles and this important area of technology.
This is a win-win for safety and innovation. Under the leadership of @POTUS, American companies like @Zoox have a process to create and test their latest technologies.
America – not China – can and will drive the future of self-driving cars forward. There’s nothing better than made in the USA!
Great meeting w Jonathan Morrison, @POTUS’ nom for @NHTSAgov. He has a passion for American leadership on AVs, and I look forward to moving forward with the Autonomous Vehicle Acceleration Act. This is the first major AV legislation in 8 years & keeps the US in the driver's seat.
The new runway at Newark Liberty International Airport finished nearly two weeks ahead of schedule. Amazing job @PANYNJ! They’ve been great partners.
With the runway completed, @USDOT will continue our work to harden the telecoms infrastructure and improve the staffing pipeline for the airspace.
Thank you @SecDuffy and @USDOT for prioritizing innovation in today’s announcements — a strong step forward for the future of AVs. We look forward to working with the Administration to advance lifesaving autonomous vehicle technology. #AVs#TechPolicy

The EU is establishing itself as a leader in digital policy. Thank you Bart Gordon & @KLGates for inviting me to speak during your event series on regulating #AI. I shared what’s next for the #EUAIAct and opportunities for transatlantic cooperation on artificial intelligence.
Autonomous trucking is on the horizon, but do state lawmakers understand the technology, potential barriers & opportunities?
