About this episode
September 11, 2026: I look at The Economist's analysis showing AI has created roughly 1 million American jobs so far, while the predicted jobs apocalypse still has not arrived. Then I get into the latest PISA results showing record-low math, reading, and science scores, and why attention, critical thinking, and family involvement matter for the future workforce. Finally, I unpack the latest backlash around Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon's viral resignation, the AI extinction narrative, regulatory capture, and why leaders need evidence before buying into panic.
