- Do you know your p(joy) score?
Manoush Zomorodi (NPR's TED Radio Hour) coins p(joy) as a deliberate counterpoint to p(doom), the probability-of-catastrophe number traded around AI circles: instead of estimating disaster, estimate whether satisfying moments are increasing in your life and what reliably creates them. The second half is a long interview with Brian Elliott of Work Forward on knowledge work right now — identity loss as machines take a skill you spent decades building, cognitive overload from supervising AI agents, and executives privately saying their best people and heaviest AI users are the likeliest to quit. Elliott's summary: human-led, AI-enabled, because nobody's competitive advantage is being average faster.

- Graduating into Disruption: Labor Market Outcomes for AI-Exposed College Majors
US Census Bureau working paper (CES 26-56, September 2026) by Cody Orr, Lee C. Tucker and Lawrence Warren, using administrative records covering about 29% of US bachelor's degrees conferred 2016-2024. Graduates in the most AI-exposed tenth of majors saw their chance of being employed in the quarter after graduation fall five percentage points, and first full-quarter earnings fall thirteen percent, starting immediately after ChatGPT's release in late 2022. The earnings hit is comparable to graduating into a large recession. About half came from lower pay inside the same industries, the rest from graduates shifting into lower-paying sectors such as restaurants and retail. The effect shrinks to about five percent two years out but does not disappear for the most exposed majors.
