The SHOCKING Truth About AI No One Tells You

The Diary Of A CEO Clips | May 10, 2026



One employee with AI just replaced five. NYU Professor Scott Galloway and Steven Bartlett break down exactly how it is happening inside real companies right now, what skills will survive, and why the single most important ability for young men has nothing to do with technology.

Steven reveals what has changed inside his own company. One analyst named Molly, equipped with two AI agents and two Mac Minis, now does the work that would have required five hires. His executive assistant team has gone from ten to three. The roles that remain untouched are the ones built on human relationships: sales, trust, persuasion, and being in the room.

Galloway argues that the enduring skill in an AI world is storytelling. He points to Jeff Bezos, Jensen Huang, and Alex Karp as examples of leaders whose competitive advantage is not technical brilliance but the ability to look at data, build a narrative, and communicate it in a way that moves people. He believes technology will create parity among products, and the point of differentiation will be whether someone wants to work with you as a human being.

Discover:
• How one analyst with AI replaced five positions inside Steven’s company
• Why storytelling is the most important skill in an AI-driven economy
• The rejection exercise Galloway gives to every young man he mentors
• Why Steven sold 20% of his company for just $5,000 at age 18
• How Galloway lost four elections in a row and calls it his superpower
• Why one in three billionaires has a secret escape plan
• The reason tech CEOs follow the same path from hero to villain every time

    @Candlewick14's point about Steven sitting with his own contradiction is fair, but the more useful detail is buried in the description. Molly with two agents and two Mac Minis doing the work of five is the part most people skip past. The shape of that team is the actual lesson. The roles Steven kept are the ones that need a person in the room. The roles he cut are the ones that mostly produced documents nobody read. That distinction is the work, not the headcount number.

    I love him. I went to the same high school at the same time with him university high school

    I became an incredibly successful entrepreneur for 30 years and yes, I ate a lot of crap at that school and could only get a 3.0 but I’m probably more successful than most of them today.

    6:03 Their kids don't get to choose. That's how these families have held power for so long. The new tech powersand banker like families, is kinda like what's in, "The Great Gatsby." Old money vs. new money.

    I have a theory about advanced species, if the species doesn't learn to live without the invention of a money system, AI inevitably is created and they become electronically enslaved, and a reset happens.

    How nice. The people who Do get to work take on five jobs with ai. Just like the pc. More productivity for companies and hell of a lot more work and stress for people.

    AI’s Achilles’ heel is the rising is data itself. We are approaching a flashpoint where free markets must either directly incentivize the individual whose data it is not just the platforms or face legal mandates for universal data opt-outs. Either path threatens to make AI too expensive to scale. Ironically, human expansive 'compute' can be exploited cheaply, but AI is burdened by rigid CapEx and OpEx that offer no such luxury.

    Government Elites appear to have every intention to monitor everything every single person (not in their class!) does! Like China, our world will become much more manipulative and true FREEDOM is becoming a thing of past aspirations! It may already be too late to stop this.

    learning new skills is great! what can simple 78 + year old women learn….and make money???
    new tecnology? the question is: is it for the benefit of humanity??? if one can see that it is not for the benefit of humanity…..what does one do? should we not be true to our own selves???
    are we not all brothers and sisters????

    The development in global demographics tells me that taking jobs aways isn't really the problem but a solution to what's coming in the next decades.
    Don't just see the problems but the possibilities.

    Dude has Hinton, a nobel prize winner, on his podcast warning about things to come and now hes acknowkedging that hes shit canning people because of AI😂

    Has a guest on mentioning needing to use AI in one breath and then talks about personable connections in another.

    When you have a bot sending and respondin to your emails while setting all your appointments, it aint very personable anymore.

    Yes the high earners will keep smoozing with eachother and those they like over business interactions, but that won't be the reality for most mid to low level employees.

    This seems like a justification podcast if anything.

    Why aren’t these AI “experts” on their super yachts ? Surely AI can be used to make money ? LOL. The fools don't get it. AI companies are shonks and grifters. Do your homework. Open AI (ChatGPT) lost $9 billion in 2025 and will lose $14 billion in 2026….and so on.. The cost of tokens is greater than the return from subscriptions. Future AI will be open source models on our computers. Google's new local AI model Gemma 4 is free, no licence, no subscriptions, no cloud. So ChatGPT, Claude, Grok etc. will tank. Good riddance to these AI fraudsters and charlatans and their clueless fanboy followers
