This week, 20VC grapples with a fundamental tension between technological disruption and human economics. From Shopify's Tobi Lütke challenging the AI-as-scapegoat narrative around layoffs, to deep dives on whether major tech earnings signal genuine AI value creation or speculative excess, the episodes wrestle with whether we're entering a genuine productivity revolution or simply reshuffling labor and capital in ways that benefit the few. Woven throughout are conversations with world-class operators and creators about what actually moves markets and people—offering a reality check against the hype.
