AI'S LABOR IMPACT, AND HOW TO NOT LOSE OUR MINDS

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Stanford researchers analyzed payroll data from 25 million American workers and found AI is already replacing early-career workers in specific fields. Software developers aged 22-25 have seen 6% job losses since ChatGPT launched, while developers over 30 gained 9% more jobs in the same period. Customer service shows the same pattern - young workers losing jobs, older workers gaining them. The data suggests AI isn't coming for all jobs or even most jobs, but it's systematically eliminating the entry-level positions in fields where experience matters less and tasks can be automated.
