VALUE CREATION, BULLSHIT JOBS AND THE FUTURE OF WORK

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Jobs exist because someone with hiring authority decides the value created exceeds the wages paid, and AI is now shifting that calculus by performing many tasks cheaper and faster than humans. The parallel to the Luddite-era displacement of weavers is instructive, since while handmade clothing became unaffordable, entirely new job categories emerged over time. The key difference now is speed, with workforce transitions that once took decades compressing into months, making resilience and continuous value creation the best strategy for navigating the shift.
