微软全球宕机致交易员回归传真，AI人才争夺战升级

Welcome back to Bloomberg this weekend. Or Bet it's unfair. You always get to do the intro to this segment. It's almost like I have allies in the control room before the way. And I say beat dubs versus the way you say BT does the right way. So I got to tell you, loyal viewer of the show and not the brightest crown in the box. My brother Joey Ruffini, I was talking about this morning Joe and he said, oh, BT dubs Bloomberg this weekend.

I never put that together. He never understood it. So in case other Charlie, we missed it. Bloomberg this weekend bt w Joey they're making fun of you. I'm not I just want to point that out here. So if you'd like to change the way that you saying please feel free. Sorry okay. That have you released on the show. So she's going to catch us up on some of the stories we might have missed. Let's go. So we've been talking right about Gen wrong Nvidia of course.

Okay, so now some talk about the famous leather jackets that he wore. That has been it's been crazy. Okay. So this one specifically is from New York magazine's The Cut. Okay. It says Jensen Huang's leather jacket confessed before he did. Okay. So he's known for wearing them, right? Just like Steve Jobs had the black turtlenecks, you know, it's like a thing. Um, everyone wants it in July. Wanted by Thompson. Everyone wants it.

Someone paid $960,000. Do you remember that? So there be this. Do we know? Who know? And do we know how much it's worth now? Much less. Well, yeah. No kidding. That's the question. But the thing is, is that the cut of, say, a $9,000 leather jacket is a Tom Ford wearing of a man. Yes. Who faithfully goes home to his wife and kids after a long day of work. They say that's a man in a midlife crisis. Okay, so it sparked so many other stories, like The Washington Post had this story saying Jenson One's leather jacket were telling us something, right?

It says it reads as a textbook midlife crisis. I think of the New York Times saying, this is an opinion piece. Gentleman betrayed the leather jacket community. It is somebody who wears leather jackets saying, you know what? You're making us look bad. Kara swisher saying the very same thing to me yesterday really said reclaiming it. She said from Jensen, when I saw one this morning, that was it's not any leather jacket.

It's that type of leather jacket, the very stiff leather with the, you know, it's not worn in. It looks almost overly polished. That specific leather jacket? No rivets. Is the midlife crisis jacket. I have no kidding on this now. I like the motorcycle, just to be clear about that. You know. Oh, well, hang out with Matt Miller. Were I to buy one, it would be from, like, the boot barn. I would want a distressed one, or I just.

I did just buy one that has, like, studs and stuff in it. That's not too fancy for not does not have rhinestones. It has rivets. Oh, I don't know. Okay. Anyway. All right, all right. What did take a good one. The other top story okay Microsoft outage okay. Remember we were just talking about this earlier. Okay. So this one's from Bloomberg. Microsoft outage sends traders back to phones and fax if they remember how to use the fax machine.

Okay, Sheen, we have one here Bloomberg. It's part of the printer. But do you know how to use it? Is it hooked up? Does it work? She doesn't print. She doesn't print. It does. Oh, God. Let me get you back on track and out of trouble. Literally printed for you yesterday. Yeah. So. All right. People were struggling, right? They couldn't get access to all these things. But the thing is, it's goes to back what you were saying, Christina.

People call it like a snow day. So people were enjoying different things that they didn't get to do before. Like they said, you know what? Forget this. I'm going for coffee. I'm going to the gym. I'm going to go do some yoga. I'm going to. Do you know what you were doing? Let's switch to the gym. And yoga. Yes, gym and yoga. And of course, social media. People were saying, you know, test it out for a few days. Hashtag for day.

Weekend. Okay. So people wanted to kind of go a little bit longer because they were enjoying kind of this detachment moment that they were getting. I don't know, I'm even Burger King did tweet something and it said whoever's troubleshooting and working on the outage, take your time, go out and get a Whopper. Very nice. See here. So everyone is pitching and pitching, unfortunately for us, the terminal. That's great. It was excellent emails.

Great team. Very good. Take care of the bird. All right. Everybody was like, did it bother you? I was like, absolutely. I don't even know. It was going on for quite a while. Yeah, exactly. Okay. The competition for air talent we know is huge. Right? Okay, so this one's in the Wall Street Journal. Listen to what they're getting offered. Companies dole out mega paydays and luxury trips to compete for air talent. Okay, so we've known that a lot of tech workers have been getting laid off, right, due to technology.

But there are certain corners of that sector where they're heavily recruited. So let me give you example. This is a startup serval. They're looking for software engineers. Here's what they're offering them. $30,000 signing bonus three. Tom, for the jacket. That sure is you. Thank you for that math. There might be a deal with you by three. I don't know, they're called discount offering. It doesn't stop 30,000 to any employees who recommend somebody who gets hired.

Okay, six leather jackets. And you can do this the whole time. Ready? One more leather jacket, David, because they're throwing in a vacation worth of 0,000. Wow. Which you could wear the leather jackets. I could see an attempt, a leather jacket, depending on the climate. But the problem, OpenAI anthropic, like they're taking all the talent. So now there's a smaller pool, and everyone's kind of going for these software engineers.

And that's why they're being offered these things. And it's not just software engineers. People are in construction manufacturing. They're getting more by switching jobs, because now you need those people for like data center building and things like that. Yeah. Of course. So these people are in high demand. They're getting vacations. I want a nine 0,000 figure trying to think if I have any skills, that I'm good enough to warrant that kind of recruitment.

And as I'm sitting here, I'm coming up empty. Next story. You got one more place, Thank you. Let's switch first. Okay. There's a bargain for a first class ticket. Guys, did you know that? Okay. Sorry. I'm busy getting David. Is there any, like, spoiled? Okay, I see this ID. This is from the Los Angeles Times. Okay. Frontier. Frontier Airlines offering first class seats starting at 29. Okay, so it starts March 5th, but it's not what you think.

Okay, so you have a defined first flight. First class for frontier is a little more legroom right okay. There's no middle seat. They've eliminated that. So you only have two rows each passenger you get your own power port okay. Which would you I know I know, but here's the thing. It does not include meals or snacks. You kind of pay for your own food if first class is kind of in quotation marks. Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah.

So I mean, the points guy is saying that the seats don't even realize you're sick, but it's a bargain. You get an outlet. I mean, you get a you get a port to charge your phone. I mean, if it is slightly less miserable than the experience in the back of the plane, I would probably pay for it. But it's a sad state of affairs that can't even have pretzels in a worm. So I know you can't. Now you got to pay for that. Yeah, right.

Well.
