AI is taking jobs of those who made it

AI is reshaping the job faster than the job can adapt

Anthropic turned the microscope on itself and found a workplace shifting underfoot.

The company surveyed 132 engineers, ran 53 long interviews, and combed through 200,000 Claude Code transcripts to see what happens when developers use AI in roughly 60 percent of their work and claim a 50 percent productivity boost. Many said they now fix papercuts, ship more features, and jump between front end and infrastructure with ease, helped by agents that can chain 21 tool calls without interruption.

Yet the same shift leaves people uneasy because the speed strips away the slow accretion of judgment that used to come from reading unfamiliar files, tracing errors, or sitting with a teammate who spots what you missed. Some engineers talked about losing the feel of the craft, others about the weight of supervising code they did not write, and several said their strongest career instinct was simply to stay adaptable.

If these are the earliest adopters, the rest of the industry is about to face similar questions around skills, mentorship, and what a developer becomes when output is no longer the constraint.

A quiet tension hangs in the room like the hum of a laptop fan at midnight, waiting for someone to name what comes next.

Svedka rewrites its past with AI

The Fembot is stepping back into the glow of a Super Bowl spotlight.

Sazerac wants its newly acquired vodka label to matter fast, so it is reviving a mascot that last aired more than a decade ago and rebuilding her with AI tools that now sit in every creative deck. Alcohol brands have flooded the game since Anheuser-Busch ended its category lock, and Svedka is trying to cut through the noise with a familiar face tuned for 2025.

This is less nostalgia and more a stress test of how far a legacy character can stretch when machines handle most of the heavy lifting. One misplaced frame or odd blink will land online within seconds, which is exactly why the team is leaning into the tech.

If it works, competitors may dust off their old icons and feed them into the same workflow. The arms race shifts from who buys the airtime to who trains the sharper model.

Somewhere in an edit bay you can almost hear the ice clink in that martini while the render bar crawls forward.

Search is turning into a conversation

Google is stitching AI Overviews directly into its conversational AI Mode, and the seam is starting to disappear.

A global mobile test now lets people tap from an AI-generated snapshot straight into a back-and-forth with Gemini, erasing the old split between a quick query and a deeper chat. The company is betting that people rarely know which one they want until they’re already staring at the screen, thumb hovering over a simple question.

This happens while OpenAI hits pause on other launches and treats its chatbox as a top-priority fix, and while Gemini crosses 650 million monthly users, buoyed by the Nano Banana model and a push to get Gemini in front of the 2 billion people who already see AI Overviews. It is a race for the front door of the internet, and Google is trying to make that door feel like one flow instead of two modes.

If the test sticks, the distinction between searching and chatting may fade for good, which rewires how people find facts, argue over them, and wander down rabbit holes they did not expect to open.

Somewhere in that small pause before a follow-up tap, you can feel the shift settling in.
