Jevons Paradox repeats itself time and time again. It's at least beginning to feel like the world is starting to catch on!

The jobs data coming out continues to suggest the opposite of what a lot of people had thought would happen.

Just take engineering, as the prime example of the area with greatest AI impact (and perceived risk). Most companies now have far more software projects than ever before because of AI, and effectively only engineers are going to be the ones doing that work.

You can get by for a while by being non-technical building software, but eventually someone has to understand what the thing is that got built, has to maintain it, has to fix security issues that come up, upgrade the systems beneath it, and so on. That’s all jobs.

Now apply that to a number of other job functions. AI is going to cause companies to hire more in sales because agents can let them process more leads and do more customer research. AI will cause an explosion of new marketing roles because of how much more efficient it is to launch campaigns and target. The list goes on.

AI is going to have the opposite effect that lots of people thought on jobs.

@TheFantasyPT I wonder how much of 2025 was due to the hamstring injury.

This is my video of the explosion of the Blue Origin New Glenn rocket at Cape Canaveral’s pad LC-36 a short time ago. Includes video & audio from roughly 5 miles away near Jetty Park. That was an absolutely enormous explosion! 🤯

Note: Thankfully, Blue says all staff are OK.

The CEO of Goldman Sachs is taking the other side on the pessimistic takes on AI and jobs.

If you looked at what work looked like a few decades ago and saw how much faster everything is or easier it is to produce the same thing as before - even before AI - you’d certainly have been convinced there’d be no jobs left.

What happens is we constantly just demand more from everything. Instead of automating a task and delivering the same value proposition, but cheaper, we just expect more from the overall product or service. Because some players in the market decides to do more with the automation, and it raises everyone’s expectations. So those that don’t respond can’t compete.

We get more financial analysis from analysts. We get much more comprehensive legal advice. We get more tailored financial services offerings. We get better software in niches we never thought we could automate. Our healthcare providers offer more tests and deeper medical advice. This just goes on and on.

When you move from believing the world is static and you’ll have a better view of how jobs evolve due to AI.

I don't get why families don't just release the cause of death. The public ends up focusing on figuring out what happened instead of celebrating the life and accomplishments of the person 🙁

Really happy with how this MLB tool I created turned out. It makes it super simple to find the best and worst pitchers of the day.

[PoisedBet @PoisedBet]

Easily find the best pitchers to start and pitchers to target for batters in the Pitchers Overview tool on the MLB Game Matchups page

Yet another thrilling game from the Avs! Onwards!

May snow in Superior, CO!

I've been writing code for over 20 years now. It still never gets old to me that I can make something useful to myself and/or others. I'm just sitting here monitoring today's baseball games on a website I build 🤩

[Oliver @ProbablyOliver]

Love festival season. Feels like every time I throw on a stream I discover some great new artist!

[Oliver @ProbablyOliver]

This Avs game is absolute madness!

Winning a belt with a blown out knee is crazy. Good night of fights tonight in #ufc327 !

Nuggets fans booing Dort everytime he gets the ball even into the 3rd quarter 💀

Epic day for NASA and everyone around the world who contributed to this. The Artemis era has truly begun.

[Oliver @ProbablyOliver]

So crazy we have a livestream of the re-entry!

[NASA @NASA]

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

[Oliver @ProbablyOliver]

I grew up watching shuttle launches with my father. Pretty darn cool to be able to watch the #Artemis 2 launch today with my daughter 🩷
