AI & THE JOB MARKET

🪦AI Isn’t a Job Killer: It’s a Job Shifter

Given the recent headlines, it’s easy to view AI as the ultimate job killer. Just last week, Accenture laid off over 11,000 employees globally as part of an $865 million AI-focused restructuring strategy. But, upon closer examination, it turns out AI won’t actually kill our jobs.

Key Details:

• Since OpenAI released ChatGPT in November 2022, the number of new companies with “AI” in their name has more than tripled. The Budget Lab at Yale found that despite this rapid adoption, AI has yet to cause widespread job losses across the U.S. workforce.

• Instead, the U.S. workforce remains “a story of continuity over change.” In other words, AI hasn’t disrupted employment levels any more than previous waves of technological advancements.

• While unemployment levels for 20- to 24-year-olds have jumped from 8.2% in April 2025 to 9.3% by August 2025, it’s “a cyclical trend that’s not purely tech-driven.”

• Macro Research Analyst at Goldman Sachs, Sarah Dong, explained: “Predictions of technology reducing the need for human labor have a long history but a poor track record.”

• Approximately 60% of U.S. workers today are employed in job roles that didn’t even exist in 1940, implying that more than 85% of all employment growth over the last 80 years has been driven by new technologies.

Why It’s Important:

• Most economists expect AI to follow the same historical pattern as previous technological advancements, only causing a period of temporary job loss, where the U.S. Unemployment Rate (UR) briefly increases by just 0.5 percentage points (%pt).

• That’s great news, right? While surviving three years without an AI-driven job apocalypse is reassuring, the technology continues to evolve rapidly. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar job roles within the next five years.

🕹️AI Agent Teaches Itself To Play Minecraft

Google DeepMind introduced “DreamerV4,” an AI Agent that autonomously learned to mine diamond ore in Minecraft without any human intervention in just nine days.

Key Details:

• In Minecraft, you explore a virtual three-dimensional (3D) world containing a variety of terrains, including forests, deserts, swamps, and mountains. You gather resources like oak logs, sandstone, and diamond ore to create items like chests, fences, and swords.

• “DreamerV4” wasn’t given any step-by-step guidance by humans. Instead, it was trained offline by watching recorded gameplay and analyzing actions to understand cause-and-effect relationships.

• For instance, “DreamerV4” observed that chopping down oak trees located in forests yielded oak logs. This observation established an essential relationship between an action and the consequence of that action.

Why It’s Important:

• It relies on Model-Based Reinforcement Learning (MBRL), which mimics the trial-and-error process humans use to learn, where actions that lead to desired outcomes are reinforced. This process guides the AI Agent toward better decision-making as it gains more experience.

• “You must really understand what’s in front of you; you can’t just memorize a specific strategy,” said Google DeepMind Research Scientist Danijar Hafner. “It forces the AI Agent to self-improve over time.”

PROMPT ENGINEERING TIPS

⚙️From Conflict to Connection?

Conflict is inevitable. Whether with friends, in families, or among colleagues, differences will arise. We all hold unique beliefs and have varying priorities, which naturally leads to disagreements.

It’s important to know that conflict isn’t inherently negative; it’s a natural part of life and often signals unmet needs or misaligned expectations.

Conflict shouldn’t be feared or avoided; it acts as a crucial indicator that something beneath the surface needs addressing.

In other words, the ultimate goal isn’t to avoid conflict; it’s to become skilled at navigating it to avoid bitter feelings, low morale, or plunging productivity.

This simple prompt turns ChatGPT into your personal conflict resolution coach:

• Context: I want to handle conflict better by responding calmly, clearly, and constructively,

• Clarity: but I often get defensive, avoid confrontation, or struggle to express myself effectively.

• Guidance: Can you provide me with actionable tips to navigate conflict more effectively when I’m dealing with {Insert Specific Person} about {Insert Specific Topic}?
