👨‍💻 AI Creates New Jobs

AI adoption has led to new jobs at 54% of UK companies, according to a Lloyds survey that included businesses ranging from small companies to multinational corporations.

The findings offer a different perspective on the common fear that AI will put people out of work. A King's College London study found that 69% of workers are worried about losing their jobs due to AI, and 57% of Britons believe the technology will eliminate more jobs than it creates.

But the bigger shift may be less about mass layoffs and more about the job market changing: some roles are disappearing, while new ones are emerging.

💼 Companies increasingly see AI adoption as essential to staying competitive. Six in 10 businesses surveyed by Lloyds said they risk falling behind if they fail to embrace new technologies. And to help employees adapt, 58% of employers plan to invest in workforce training over the next year.

Is AI a threat to your job?

When work becomes a whole world of its own

Convenience Store Woman — Sayaka Murata Keiko finds comfort in the precise routines of a convenience store, while everyone around her insists she should want something more. Strange, deadpan, and quietly radical.

Then We Came to the End — Joshua Ferris An advertising office faces layoffs, rivalries, romances, and boredom as its employees try to stay cheerful in a failing economy. Witty, restless, and sharply observant.

The Devil Wears Prada — Lauren Weisberger A young assistant enters the punishing orbit of a powerful fashion editor and discovers how quickly ambition can blur into exhaustion. Fast, glossy, and deliciously biting.

Severance — Ling Ma A strange illness spreads while one office worker continues performing her daily routines long after the world has begun to collapse. Satirical, eerie, and unexpectedly moving.

Which workplace would you least want to join?

💵 Jobless Claims Hit Lowest Level Since 1969

Weekly jobless claims have fallen to their lowest level since 1969 — the year the U.S. first landed men on the moon — signaling a historically tight labor market.

Rising sales and an ongoing labor shortage are the primary factors deterring employers from cutting jobs, keeping layoffs unusually low.

The data points to an economy where businesses are holding onto workers even as broader economic pressures persist.

AI Fails Practical Economy Tasks

*New Agent's Last Exam benchmark* tests AI on real-world, long-term economic problems—from orchestration and game design to 3D animation and medical descriptions. Top models like Opus 4.7 and GPT 5.5 barely scored 1%, showing humans remain vital outside IT/legal/finance. Papers reveal: - Only 20% of US firms use AI actively, seeing faster hiring and salary growth, prioritizing star talent, especially no-experience hires - Other firms show flat hiring, salary declines, and no mass job cuts - Future: AI-native firms will dominate, others must adapt, technical/system-building roles surge, and business competition shifts from people coordination to autonomous systems learning from mistakes.
