Over the past few months, the narrative from the biggest names in tech about AI's impact on employment has shifted, or at least become much more reassuring.

Jeff Bezos, Yann LeCun, Jensen Huang, Marc Andreessen... they all argue that AI will create far more jobs than it destroys.

Marc Andreessen wrote:

"The 'AI job loss' narratives are all fake. AI = massive ramp in productivity = massive ramp in demand = massive jobs boom. Watch."

And just a few days ago at VivaTech, Jeff Bezos said:

"I totally disagree with this point of view. And I think, in fact, AI is going to create a labor shortage."

I agree with them. We are entering a new era. AI won't just automate tasks, it will amplify human productivity and creativity. As it does, it will create new industries, new businesses, and ultimately more opportunities and new jobs.

But there is one major caveat that nobody talks about.

This won't happen equally across countries.

Work is about to be reorganized on a massive scale. Jobs will evolve at a pace the labor market hasn't experienced in decades.

Some countries will benefit enormously and experience an AI-driven economic boom comparable to the arrival of electricity.

Others will face The Great Decline.

Every country will have to adapt rapidly. Governments will need to modernize regulations, reform labor laws, and give companies the flexibility to reorganize and innovate.

If rigid labor laws keep companies trapped in the past while the rest of the world moves forward, economic decline becomes inevitable.

It's the first day of summer. Father's Day. Music Day. The sun is shining, it's warm, go enjoy it!

Turn on the air conditioning. Go swimming. Cool off. Have a barbecue. Laugh. Celebrate.

No guilt. Enjoy the sunshine. Enjoy the summer. Be happy.

[Aurelien Pasquier @AurelienPasq]

The verdict is in: Not guilty. Enjoy the sunshine. Turn on the air conditioning.

And I mean every word of it. France's only hope lies in Yann LeCun and Ami Labs @amilabs winning the race to ASI (superintelligence).

Visit the Louvre, the largest and most visited museum in the world, and you'll understand the scale of France's air conditioning problem.

The worst part is that you're told it's air-conditioned using water from the Seine, but it simply doesn't work. France doesn't lack electricity; it just needs to install real air conditioning.

France still largely lives without air conditioning, for better but mostly for worse, to the detriment of both its own population and the millions of visitors it welcomes every year.

Say hi to the Hexa House in SF!

[@levelsio @levelsio]

Any SF startup office we can work from today? SF cafes are absolutely unworkable, reminds me of Lisbon, no laptop culture which is of course ironic

@ericjackson Congrats Eric!

@zackvoell 5 for me. I'm dying of thirst!

[Aurelien Pasquier @AurelienPasq]

The Great Decline

One of the key factors to consider when assessing whether a country can withstand the AI wave is its labor laws and its ability to reform them.

AI will bring massive, rapid changes, and companies will need the flexibility to adapt rapidly.

If labor laws prevent them from adapting and the government proves incapable of reforming those laws, economic decline becomes inevitable.

[Aurelien Pasquier @AurelienPasq]

@RoboStrategy Great, looking forward to it!

[Aurelien Pasquier @AurelienPasq]

@RichardDetente MSTR aurait tout intérêt changer d'etat US pour pouvoir modifier à sa guise la périodicité des versements.

[Aurelien Pasquier @AurelienPasq]

I'm rooting for you @JeremyClarkson. See you for season six !
