AI Weekly: “50% of Jobs at Risk?” + What Smart Founders Are Doing Today

Hey Friend,

Have you ever looked at the headlines, seen “AI Will Replace 50% of Jobs”… and felt that tight twist in your chest?

Yeah, me too.

But let’s be real: we’re not just here to survive the AI era — we’re here to ride the wave, shape the future, and grow stronger because of it.

Welcome back to AI Weekly — the newsletter for dreamers, builders, side-hustlers, and doers who want to understand, use, and thrive with AI (without needing a PhD in machine learning).

Every week, I spend hours reading boring whitepapers, sifting through Twitter noise, and checking obscure press releases — so you don’t have to.

Let’s dive into the best of what’s happening — and what it means for you.

This Week’s Hot Takes 🔥: The AI Headlines You Actually Need

1. 50% of White-Collar Jobs May Be Gone by 2030 (Anthropic CEO)

Yikes? Maybe. But here’s the key: jobs won’t vanish — they’ll shift. The question isn’t “Will AI take my job?” but “Am I ready to use AI to become 10x more valuable?”

📌 Action Tip: Start small. Automate one thing this week — email follow-ups, social posts, client onboarding.

2. Meta is Quietly Building AI for the Military (Yes, Really)

Meta and defense startup Anduril are building “EagleEye,” an AR helmet using AI to boost battlefield awareness. It sounds like sci-fi — but it’s happening.

Whether this thrills you or terrifies you, one thing’s clear: the line between tech, AI, and real-world power is vanishing.

📌 Why it matters: Big Tech’s reach is growing beyond our screens. Regulation and ethics in AI are becoming everyone’s business.

3. India’s AI Play: Soket AI, Gan.ai Join The Mission

India just funded multiple startups (like Gnani.ai and Gan.ai) to build local foundational models — instead of relying on OpenAI or Google.

📌 Translation: AI is becoming decentralized and localized. Think: AI with accents. This is huge for non-Western economies, creators, and communities.

Quick Bytes: Fast, Powerful AI News

• 🧠 New Supercomputer “Doudna”: The US launches a $600M AI-powered supercomputer to support genomics and medical AI.

• 💸 Cheaper Models, Better Tools: Thanks to smarter algorithms and open hardware, launching a competitive AI model is now 5x cheaper than last year.

• 🇨🇳 China vs Nvidia: Chinese tech giants are building AI stacks that work without Nvidia chips. Global competition just leveled up.
