Aaron Levie, founder of Box, warns that those claiming AI can take over jobs often lack a true understanding of the roles involved. He describes this phenomenon as “AI psychosis.” This concern is underscored by ClickUp’s recent decision to let go of 22% of its employees in favor of AI, with tech layoffs in 2026 nearing the total from 2025. Meanwhile, DuckDuckGo is witnessing a 30% rise in installations as users push back against mandatory AI features in Google search, seeking simpler results.
In the latest episode of ToolsMixAi’s Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane explore the dynamics between the AI proponents and skeptics, examining how they can both be correct simultaneously. They also highlight three noteworthy deals and discuss the recent developments surrounding Waymo’s new robotaxi.
Tune in to the complete episode for:
- Kirsten’s initial impressions of Waymo’s Ojai robotaxi in Phoenix, including insights on the company’s journey toward profitability
- How the rise of AI agents is altering hiring processes beyond mere staff reductions
