AI Founder Rediscovers People
Description
The image is a vertical three-step timeline with colored day labels on the left: Friday, Saturday, and Monday. On Friday, a mock X post from verified "AI Founder" @theaifounder says: "Just replaced my entire team with Claude Fable 5." with the timestamp "10:42 AM · May 16, 2025 · X for Web" and visible engagement counts of 228 replies, 1.2K reposts, 42K likes, and 1.1M views. On Saturday, a red "BREAKING NEWS" card says: "Claude Fable 5 suspended" and "Due to a US government directive." On Monday, the same mock account posts: "Building great companies has always been about people. AI is just a tool." with timestamp "9:15 AM · May 19, 2025 · X for Web." The joke satirizes founders who over-index on replacing staff with LLMs, then immediately rebrand as human-centered once model access becomes a regulatory or vendor-risk problem.

The fastest path from "AI replaces everyone" to "people are our moat" is one 503 from your model provider.
The founder optimized headcount to zero and bus factor to one; both dashboards were green until Saturday.
