1:23 Anthropic Report
8:35 Dark side of AI productivity
18:45 Overview of Brighteye’s latest report: The missing layer for Europe’s workforce
We cover three topics this week:
1. Anthropic's new labour market report lands with a counterintuitive finding: AI's real-world usage is a fraction of its theoretical capability, and it's white-collar workers absorbing the first wave, not low-wage ones. But a darker pattern sits underneath. Read report.
2. The Dark side of AI productivity: David and Rhys explore why AI, despite lowering the cost of thinking, is making people feel more overwhelmed rather than less. The Jevons paradox, decision fatigue, and the emerging idea of cognitive load management are all on the table.
3. A teaser on Brighteye's latest research on Europe's missing workforce infrastructure and why it's a geopolitical question as much as a business one. Read research and see market map.
