Reinventing the Job Market

Dear Readers,

Every week, the line between artificial intelligence and political intelligence blurs a little more. From governments drawing red lines around copyright and data, to security chiefs warning about synthetic propaganda, AI isn’t just a technology story—it’s a power story. The question is shifting from what AI can do to who gets to decide what it should do.

In today’s issue, we dive into this collision of code and control: Japan’s cultural standoff with OpenAI, Europe’s media clash with Google, and Britain’s growing unease about AI governance. You’ll also find a deep look at Goldman’s warning of a “jobless growth” era—and what it means for a generation raised on automation. The future of intelligence isn’t written in code alone; it’s being debated in parliaments, boardrooms, and newsrooms alike.

In Today’s Issue:

📉 Goldman economists warn of "jobless growth" as AI reshapes hiring

🇯🇵 Japan demands OpenAI halt anime misuse

🇮🇹 Google's AI Overviews are sparking backlash in Italy

🚨 Britain's MI5 chief warns autonomous AI systems pose a significant threat

✨ And more AI goodness…

All the best,

OpenAI’s Sora 2 update adds storyboards for Pro users on the web, enabling structured scene planning before video generation. All users can now create videos up to 15 seconds, while Pro users get extended 25-second limits online—making Sora more powerful for storytelling and creative workflows.

New OpenAI researcher Alex reports that using GPT-5 pro helped in such a way that it brought new insights to the research.

Larry Ellison, CEO Oracle: AI models have evolved beyond simple inferencing. They now employ deduction, calculation, and strategy, solving complex problems faster and more efficiently than humans. AI even generates computer code based on intent.

The Takeaway

👉 Jobless growth is becoming structural: output can rise without proportional hiring.

👉 AI-powered automation disproportionately affects entry-level work — expect shifting demand.

👉 For AI builders: your value hinges less on speed and more on originality, interpretability, and orchestration.

👉 Reimagine careers: designing AI systems, governing automation, and shaping human-AI collaboration will be the new frontier.

The AI era is hammering a new truth: economic growth no longer guarantees mass hiring. Goldman Sachs economists warn of a “low-hire, low-fire” landscape where Gen Z graduates face a double bind—productivity soars (thanks to AI), yet entry-level jobs stagnate.

In simple terms: companies are squeezing labor demand even as their output expands. AI and automation are doing heavy lifting, making many traditional junior roles redundant. Some economists even call this phenomenon “jobless growth” - we’re growing, but without hiring enough people.

For those deep into AI, this is thrilling and worrying. It underscores that AI isn’t just a back-end tool, it’s shaping who gets to work, how, and where. To stay relevant, AI practitioners will need to prove they’re not just efficient, but also creative, adaptable, and capable of guiding systems.

What if Gen Z becomes the cohort that defines work’s future — not by chasing jobs, but by building ecosystems around AI?

Why it matters: AI isn’t just reshuffling tasks; it’s changing labor dynamics. As a society, we must find a long-term solution to this problem, otherwise we face the threat of serious social problems.

In 2030, neural networks will have approximately the same number of connections as the human brain.

The Japanese government formally requested OpenAI to desist from generating content that infringes on manga and anime copyrights, calling those characters “irreplaceable treasures.” The appeal comes amid backlash against Sora 2, which has been used to create videos featuring copyrighted Japanese art styles and characters.
