If you’ve been following the markets, you know that in early February, Anthropic (the maker of Claude AI) dragged a bunch of major SaaS stocks down because of a new feature the company released, which allows the AI to perform much more sophisticated tasks like accounting and finance, legal, and sales. While many companies, like Salesforce, for example, have been working hard to get their customers onto their AI, the Anthropic release is more advanced and enables what the company calls “coworking” across agents. Essentially, these AI agents can communicate with one another to get a job done, much like humans do. 

In light of growing conversations about the AI bubble and its potential to disrupt the work lives of people like us, several high-profile safety researchers have publicly resigned from Anthropic and OpenAI.

One said publicly that he was so disillusioned by the misalignment between his values and the work AI companies are doing that he decided to go back to school to study philosophy.

There’s also this story from Wired that begs the question, what in the fresh hell have we created now, with a new platform that reportedly allows AI bots to hire humans.

While all of this doesn’t bode well, at all, for a lot of reasons, I have been thinking a lot about the opposite side of AI: How we verify and value humaness–and human created things-warts and all. 

That’s when I stumbled across this:

While it's about marketing, the idea applies to journalism too. It argues that we are entering the era of human verification, and that humanness is on track to be deeply valuable (monetarily as well as culturally). 

 I’m deep into pitching a number of big swings about AI and culture, and I’m really interested in what the future might look like in a world where we all want to interact with, and read and watch content made by 100% human creators. In my view, it could allow highly skilled journalists and media creators like us to charge a premium for proof that we do not use AI in our work, which gives me hope. 

On a related but slightly tangential note, if you’re looking for work outside of media and places to leverage your real-life human skills, Sonia Weiser’s Lesser of Evil newsletter is a solid resource. She finds media-adjacent roles that are fully remote. Give it a look if you’re in the market. 

To steal a line from one of my favorite Instagram creators, @weratedogs, “the jobs were good today.”

Freelance roles include calls for pitches with:

Full-Time work this week is heavy on the private equity (eww) roles. It’s not my bag, but if you’re looking to make mega bank, they tend to pay pretty well. There are also roles with: 

The Dishonorable roles are pretty bad this week, and if you are interested in weird shit, I have a Passion Project for you.
