They discuss why 2025 was the worst “non-recession” year for hiring since 2003. Then, Ed is joined by Alex Heath, founder of the Sources newsletter and host of the Access Podcast, to unpack the latest AI models, as well as a viral blog post shaking up the AI conversation. Finally, Ed explains why AI policy is so important, and why it's currently lacking.  Check out Alex’s interview with OpenAI's Fidji Simo Check out our latest Prof G Markets newsletter Follow Prof G Markets on Instagram Follow Ed on Instagram, X and Substack Follow Scott on Instagram Send us your questions or comments by emailing [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
