Hassett says AI isn't costing anybody their job right now — but tech layoffs keep coming
The White House says AI isn't killing jobs. Tech companies are quietly laying off thousands anyway.
Both things can be true — and neither one tells you what to do Monday morning.

The White House says AI isn't killing jobs. Tech companies are quietly laying off thousands anyway.
Both things can be true — and neither one tells you what to do Monday morning.
If you bought an AI tool that sits unused at $200/month, you're not behind. You're actually ahead of the people still buying the hype. You learned the most expensive lesson early: a tool without a job to do is just a subscription.
Here's what the layoff headlines are really showing you. Companies aren't replacing people with AI. They're restructuring around specific tasks AI now handles faster. That's a very different thing. And it's something a business your size can actually use.
You don't need to rebuild your operation. You need to find one task your team repeats every week that's slow, inconsistent, or draining — and ask whether AI could handle that one thing.
Not everything. One thing.
That's the real starting point. Not a $30K platform. Not a six-month rollout. One repetitive task, one small test, measurable result in 30 days.
What's the one task in your business you keep hoping someone will just fix already?
