## Resource

New data shows AI-driven engineering layoffs are less severe than predicted. Lucas and Luna examine why demand for AI engineers remains high, the 'productivity paradox' of AI tools, and how companies like Microsoft and Meta are hiring for roles that write the AI itself. They also discuss a recent TechCrunch report revealing that engineering jobs have become more resilient, not less, in the age of generative AI. Plus: why the 'saved' time from AI copilots is being reinvested into more complex work, not layoffs. A data-driven look at the real labor impact of AI. #AIJobs #EngineeringResilience #TechLayoffs #GenerativeAI #ProductivityParadox #TechCrunch #Microsoft #Meta #AIEngineers #LaborMarket #FutureOfWork #AICopilot #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology #CareerResilience #AIAdoption #DataDriven Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
