Early in his career, he weathered an unexpected layoff, and he says that everyone should expect at least one inopportune event like this in their careers. People would assume it was due to low performance, and it often became an obstacle to finding a new job. Not surprisingly, this serial layoff culture has led to the rise of the perennial passive job seeker. Unless you're incredibly lucky, you will experience at least one layoff or change in role that forces you to look for a new job.

As LaMDA-like technology hits the market, it may change the way we interact with computers — and not just for customer service. LaMDA technology is a big leap forward.

Now, our low monthly mortgage payment means we can live the life we want. We could spend $360,000 on our dream house, and that was pushing it. In other words, there was no such thing as a dream house I didn't design myself, even at the very top of our budget. Not only could we afford the house, but we could also afford a pool, a patio, and a third bathroom. A vision began forming in my mind: I could see our dream house, but I could see something else, too — I could see our dream life.
