Honey and Dung

Everyone is worried about the wrong thing. The conversation about AI and jobs has focused on automation displacing skilled, grounded, consequential workers. This episode argues the disruption went the other way first. AI did not replace the people who build things. It replaced the people who explain them, and then it got better at it than they were. Alex and Priya work through the argument, push back on it, and arrive somewhere honest. Featuring the Contributor, the Commentator, and one aphorism about a bee and a fly that turns out to explain most of modern professional life.
