Tracking how AI is reshaping roles, departments, and industries — updated daily.
AI & Jobs Box CEO Aaron Levie posted on May 27 that CEOs are 'uniquely prone to AI psychosis' because they meet AI at the demo layer, not the delivery layer. The TechCrunch piece quoting him landed the same day the 2026 tech layoff count hit 134,603 across 212 events — the bulk of them citing AI.
AI & Jobs OpenAI's Sam Altman told a Sydney conference on May 26 he was 'pretty wrong' about AI eliminating entry-level white-collar work. Anthropic's Dario Amodei walked back his '50% of white-collar jobs' line earlier this month. Both companies are reportedly chasing $1T IPOs.
AI & Jobs Israeli data-security unicorn BigID laid off 150 of 650 employees on May 26, citing an 'AI-first' approach to development and operations. 20–30 of the cuts are in Tel Aviv. It came one day after Wix announced 1,000 cuts.
AI & Jobs Wix announced the largest layoff in its 20-year history on May 25: ~1,000 jobs, 20% of headcount, explicitly tied to AI. The company that sold a website builder to people who didn't need a web developer is being disintermediated by AI tools — including its own $150M ARR Base44 acquisition.
AI & Jobs ClickUp CEO Zeb Evans cut 22% on May 20 and the same week posted $1M salary bands for whoever stays — a 3,000-agent-to-1,000-employee ratio dressed up as 「the 100x org.」
AI & Jobs On Bloomberg TV May 21, Jamie Dimon told Haslinda Amin JPMorgan will hire 「more AI people and probably less bankers」 — and called Bill Winters' 「lower-value human capital」 line 「inartful.」 Same trade, different press release.
AI & Jobs Bloomberg dropped a May 21 piece naming names: PwC US laid off ~600 executive assistants in February with 4–6 weeks severance, McKinsey cut ~200 in late 2025, KPMG and EY are offshoring the rest. The job nobody warned was at risk turns out to be exactly the job their own internal AI assistants are good at.
AI & Jobs The world's 8th-largest insurance broker is cutting 2,250 jobs over 11% of its workforce, blaming AI. The Acrisure Amphitheater opened five days earlier with a Lionel Richie concert.
AI & Jobs Workday sold the enterprise version of the agent that replaces your colleagues this week. Google just put the consumer version on a $99.99 monthly subscription.
AI & Jobs Matthew Prince's WSJ op-ed gives the 2026 AI layoff cycle its cleanest taxonomy yet: builders and sellers stay, 「measurers」 — middle management, finance, legal, internal audit — get the LLM. The math is what makes it ugly.
AI & Jobs The Cloudflare op-ed named the worker about to be replaced. Workday's Q1 print, dropped the same week, named the vendor doing the replacing — and put a dollar figure on it.
AI & Jobs Intuit cut ~3,000 jobs (17% of 18,200) on the same day it reported Q3 earnings. CEO Goodarzi told Cramer 「None of it had to do with AI」 — while the internal memo, the Anthropic + OpenAI partnerships, and the Reno + Woodland Hills office closures say otherwise.
