💼 The AI workforce has arrived

Welcome back, Superhuman. Were you fooled by the AI-generated “emotional support kangaroo” video yet? For a lot of people — myself included — it was a major wake-up call. Some of the usual red flags, like blurry hands or scrambled text, just aren’t there anymore. It makes you wonder how much other AI-generated content is already slipping past us unnoticed.

Today’s Insights

• Agentic browsers, physics-based AI, and a Netflix co-founder’s new gig

• Agents are already shaking up the job market

• Tutorial: How to create professional reports with Deep Research

• 5 new AI tools to boost your productivity

• News, memes, what’s trending on socials, and more

TODAY IN AI

1. Opera pitches AI browser ‘that can act on your behalf’: The company is looking for volunteers to try out Neon, a new agentic browser that it says will be able to understand everything happening on your screen and react accordingly. You can chat with it or ask it to take care of more complicated tasks, like filling in forms or booking a trip. And in what might be a first for an AI-powered browser, it can also build apps, games, and other content and even host each of your creations in the cloud.

2. New model could help us build better chips, planes, and more: A YC-backed startup made up of ex-Apple, Google, and Intel engineers has unveiled a new model that can allegedly “solve engineering problems faster” because it’s been trained on real-world physics data. Godela helps researchers simulate real scenarios, like making sure a concept car is aerodynamic or brainstorming how to build an efficient particle accelerator, through simple text prompts. It could speed up engineers’ typical R&D timelines from weeks or months to mere hours.

3. Netflix co-founder joins Anthropic’s board: Reed Hastings, who served as Netflix’s CEO for 25 years, said he was drawn to Anthropic because the company is putting a big focus on safety and ethics. With previous stints on the boards of Bloomberg, Facebook, and Microsoft, the billionaire will likely help Anthropic grow into a major tech brand and expand its user base. He’ll join CEO Dario Amodei, President Daniela Amodei, and two outside investors as the board’s fifth member.

FROM THE FRONTIER

What does the ‘year of AI agents’ mean for our jobs?

The year of agents is in full swing: Case in point, app building startup Retool just launched an agent platform that it claims has already tackled 100M hours of work for its clients — the equivalent of 5,000 employees working for a decade. While founders might rejoice at that news, some employees are starting to get anxious about what that means for their jobs.

Most agents need humans to act as a go-between in order to get anything done. But that’s changing fast. Retool’s platform is one of the first that lets you “assemble your elite AI team,” then assign them entire workflows while you act more like a manager. It thinks it can automate 10% of US labor by 2030 using this approach.

This echoes comments from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: He recently predicted that unemployment could reach 10-20% within the next five years due to AI’s growing capabilities, with entry-level, white-collar employees getting hit the hardest. At the same time, he thinks plenty of more optimistic scenarios are also possible, especially if governments and companies start preparing now.

For now, AI isn’t replacing most jobs, just enhancing them: Like other technological disruptions, AI could turn out to create as many jobs as it takes away. Another outcome is that companies might continue to get smaller and smaller, with more entrepreneurs deciding to go it alone and using AI to handle tasks they previously couldn’t manage by themselves.

PROMPT OF THE DAY

Root Cause Analysis

Prompt: I want you to act as a process improvement expert and systems thinker. I’m currently facing the following recurring problem: [describe the issue in detail with background context]. Assist me in conducting a Root Cause Analysis to understand and resolve this issue at the source.

Start by helping me clearly define the problem — include when, where, and how often it occurs. Guide me in gathering the relevant data or patterns around this issue. Then, use diagnostic frameworks (like the 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram (Ishikawa), or Pareto Principle) to explore possible contributing factors.

Once we identify the most likely root cause(s), recommend practical, realistic solutions to address it — both immediate fixes and long-term preventive strategies.

Bonus: Share an example from a similar situation or industry to show how the same method worked elsewhere.
