NOBODY LEARNS IN THE CLEAN HALF

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

AI is taking over the routine work that used to teach new hires their job, like reconciling ledgers or fixing small bugs. ATMs took over cash handling and left bank tellers with customer problems and loan conversations. The worry is who learns the messy half now, since a 500-person compliance team might shrink to 30 and the cuts land on people who learned on the easy tasks. One startup studio hired its AI engineer by asking them to fix a real SEO problem and demo the fix, so new hires hit judgment calls in their first months.
