Bill Gates foresees massive AI job loss: these VCs disagree | E2330

VC roundtable guests Sheel Mohnot, Dave McClure, and Hussein Kanji push back on several fronts — debating whether taxing profits works better than taxing tokens, and arguing that sole proprietorships may be AI's biggest beneficiary. The group also tears into Meta's $17B kids safety settlement, examines Stripe's move to acquire OpenRouter, and surveys the emerging AI agent wars between OpenClaw, Instinct, and Grok Bot.
