Tech giants are spending big to control how packages move from warehouses to front doors. The latest blockbuster happened when two shipping middlemen—one specializing in small packages, the other in bulk truck loads—merged into a single giant called ShipStation Global.

Technology has always shaped work. When farm tools got better, fewer farmers were needed—but food got cheaper, and new jobs appeared in towns. Electricity did the same, and so did the internet. Dario Amodei now believes AI could create jobs, not just destroy them. He points to the Jevons Paradox: wh
Tech companies often chase the next big idea without stopping to ask who’s missing from the conversation. At a recent industry gathering, three leaders shared how unexpected perspectives shifted their approach to crypto products, policies, and hiring—proving that diversity isn’t just about fairness,
