Very anecdotally it seems to have picked up in July/August. No major layoffs and at least I’m getting the usual recruiters spam again.

Same, I've had a bunch of flying car startups start bugging me with weird stuff plus a couple of the primes. It was all rather sudden too so I'm not sure what happened to flip that switch.

Not going to name names but there are a bunch of flying car and "autonomous air taxi" startups trying to get to market right now. They're all going to get their PP slapped by the FAA the second they actually try to operate (a whole regulatory framework still needs to be created to make any of this remotely legal) but apparently it's enticing to the type of individuals comprising the investor class right now because they have at least some money.
Shrug...

That's hilarious, I thought it was just being used as a catch-all term to describe startups with head-in-the-clouds products, not startups literally trying to make flying cars.

Profit numbers caused wall street to ease off a bit and so the natural empire building and workload reducing motivations to hire more staff moved the equilibrium back a bit more to hiring.
