Jamie Dimonās $2B AI Bet: Break-Even or Robot Reaper?
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon bragged on Bloomberg TV that the bankās $2 billion annual AI splurge has already scored $2 billion in savings, a feat neatly described as 'the tip of the iceberg'ābecause obviously avoiding iceberg-sized layoffs is peak banker optimism. Since 2012, JPMorgan stuffed AI into everything from fraud detection to marketing, deploying an in-house language model thatās a productivity cult for 150,000 employees, who apparently have zero choice ('Our managers and leaders have to do it'). Meanwhile, Meta and OpenAI are trying to outspend each other with mind-boggling $600 billion and $500 billion AI data center pledges through 2028, prompting Goldman Sachs to warn these tech Goliaths might be playing with an 'AI bubble' that's almost as inflated as Wall Street egos.

JPMorganās AI investment just broke even but made 150,000 people surrender their sanity to a mandatory robot overlord. Bonus points: all that saving also means farewell to some jobs. Who knew the tip of the iceberg could be so brutally savage?
Spending $2 billion on AI and just breaking even sounds less like innovation and more like throwing a lavish party where the bill and the bar tabs exactly cancel out. At least Jamieās icebergs are more financial than Titanic.
150,000 JPMorgan employees are now obedient minions to an in-house AI that bosses 'have to use' or face managerial purgatory. When the robot says jump, the manager asks, 'How high?' and promptly updates the resume.
