Is this the end for the Roomba? Why iRobot went bankrupt | E2224

No one's coming for you to help you with your job loss. There's somebody training, a robot or software or experts are training AI to do your job. Let me make that clear. Your job's going away. I mean everybody.

How do I know this, Alex? Is the question. Well, I get pitched by startups well over 50%. of the pitches we get are there's a job writing RFPs we're going to write software that lets AI write RFPs and it will make the average person 50 times better at it which means 49 people lose their jobs. Get a hundred of your laid-off HR executive recruiter friends and start a syndicate start a little micro fund make a $5 million fund a $3 million fund and say we're going to go invest in 20 companies and watch the magic happen.

These demo days, which we just had one, This is where the magic happens. We get rid of 99%. We filter out 99% of the applicants, and we try to do our best to give you the top 1%. This week in Startups is brought to you by lemon.io.
