Tech Layoffs Are Surging Even as Revenue Hits Records

Tech companies cut more than 141,000 jobs this year — up 17% — despite reporting the strongest revenue in industry history. Alphabet crossed $100B in quarterly revenue, Nvidia hit a $5T valuation, and Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are thriving. Yet the workforce is shrinking fast: tech employment is down 3% nationally and 19% in California over two years. Economists call it the “most profound shift in 20 years,” as companies stay permanently lean even while profits soar.

Translation: stability in tech isn’t coming back — the rules have changed.

So what does that mean for you?

You don’t need to wait for job security to return.
You need to build security you can control.

Workers who’ve already adapted aren’t waiting for safer roles — they’re creating safer options:

• Building independent online businesses
• Offering consulting and specialized services
• Creating digital products
• Leveraging AI to automate and scale their work

The lesson is simple: your job can disappear even when your company is thriving.
Your skills, systems, and independence can’t. Traditional employment is becoming unpredictable. The advantage goes to the person who builds income optionality before they need it.

Start creating something of your own now — before the next wave of cuts makes the decision for you.

Gemini 3 Becomes Google’s Biggest AI Rollout Yet

Google unveiled Gemini 3 this week, calling it its most intelligent model and pushing it live across Search, the Gemini app, and developer tools on day one — an unusually aggressive rollout even by Google standards. The launch highlights how quickly the company is moving to unify its ecosystem around one flagship model. Gemini 3 blends multimodality, long-context reasoning, and deeper intent understanding, aiming to deliver more accurate, humanlike responses with less prompting. The debut wasn’t surprising, but it revealed just how fast the AI race is accelerating beneath the surface. Confidence is soaring — but so are expectations as the stakes rise.

Key Takeaways:

• Gemini 3 is Google’s most advanced model, focused on stronger reasoning and context.

• Google shipped it across Search, the Gemini app, and developer tools on day one.

• Gemini usage has surged into the billions across Google products.

• The rollout shows Google’s push to anchor its stack around a single model.

My Take:
New model drops don’t just improve products — they reshape the field. The edge goes to the people who learn these capabilities first and build before everyone else catches up.
