ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Anthropic’s head of economics argues that AI is still augmenting workers rather than replacing them—and that expertise becomes more valuable as AI handles more tasks. NLW examines the evidence, the warning signs in junior hiring, and why the story executives tell themselves about AI could shape its impact on work. In the headlines: Stripe’s reported $10 billion pursuit of OpenRouter, the booming model-routing race, and Microsoft’s push toward cheaper in-house models.
