Joi and Jey tackle the brutal reality of tech layoffs, where 6,000 Microsoft employees got axed while the company dumps $13 billion into OpenAI. We dive into the uncomfortable truth that women and underrepresented workers bore the brunt of Big Tech's "efficiency" cuts - HR, project managers, recruiters were the first to go after being recruited post-pandemic.

From tariff chaos disrupting global supply chains to the dark reality of semiconductor manufacturing (spoiler: those jobs were outsourced because they cause higher cancer rates), we explore why America's tech independence comes at a human cost. Jey shares intel from Silicon Valley about friends now packing semiconductor glass, while Joi drops LinkedIn unicorn startup knowledge.

Plus: Why we'll have moon colonies within three years, Vast already booking lunar flights (engineers only, no designers needed), and how LinkedIn's algorithm reveals your career prestige level. The pendulum is swinging hard on AI job displacement, but maybe anesthesiologists should worry less about hallucinating algorithms and more about getting to space before the rest of us.

Dark topics, hopeful futures, and the wild reality that your LinkedIn feed is curated by billion-dollar valuations.

Hosts: Joi (LinkedIn algorithm decoder with moon colony predictions) and Jey (Silicon Valley semiconductor intel with unicorn startup street cred)
