Welcome to AI Minute. Today: “The AI Warnings Will Continue Until Morale Improves.” New memos from tech CEOs are turning AI adoption into a mandate. Shopify’s Tobi Lutke calls AI usage a “fundamental expectation,” praising colleagues who use AI to get “100X the work done,” and demanding teams prove they need more headcount before hiring. Over at Fiverr, CEO Micha Kaufman warns, “AI is coming for your jobs. Heck, it’s coming for my job too,” and urges staff to “study, research, and master the latest AI solutions” or risk their value plummeting. He even grimly notes, “I honestly don’t think a promising professional future awaits you” if you don’t adapt. These memos don’t announce layoffs or new strategies—instead they signal to investors and employees that leadership won’t be left behind. The takeaway? Embrace AI now, or prepare to be left on the sidelines.
