New Week, New Headlines: AI Joins Your Performance Review, and Sam Altman Says Your Job Wasn’t Real
Manage episode 515079732 series 3531468
First: AI is now sliding into your performance reviews.
Forbes says it’s here to “remove bias” and “automate feedback.”
We say… careful what you outsource. Because when algorithms start coaching humans, you risk losing the part that actually makes feedback work — connection, trust, and care.
Then: OpenAI’s Sam Altman claimed that if AI wipes out your job, maybe it wasn’t real work to begin with.
Uh, scuzi? We unpack the arrogance behind that take, the history of who decides what “real work” even means, and the danger of rewriting value just because it doesn’t fit into a founder’s business model.
This episode hits the intersection of tech, humanity, and meaning — because it’s not just about AI.
It’s about what makes work worth doing.
