Marissa Mayer Outsourced Daughter to AI, AI Builds Nevada, Kills Vegas Jobs & SAP's €2B AI Savings

October 28,2026: I unpack Marissa Mayer's viral moment when she asked her AI assistant Dazzle to tell her what made her 10-year-old daughter special, why the internet erupted over whether parents should outsource that kind of thinking, and the three questions you need to ask before handing anything off to AI. Then I head to Nevada where AI is building jobs in the north and replacing them in the south, why more than 100,000 acres of desert east of Reno are becoming one of the world's largest concentrations of data centers providing work for thousands of electricians and pipe fitters, and why 400 miles away on the Las Vegas Strip companies like Zoox and Waymo are replacing human-driven taxis while MGM's call center cuts hundreds of jobs using AI. Finally, I look at SAP replacing expensive AI models inside its software with cheaper alternatives, why their CFO says the move could save more than 2 billion euros in efficiency gains over the next two years even as overall AI spending rises, and how this works like a flat rate plumber who charges $300 to fix a leak no matter which parts go in.
