This week-in-review episode looks at a week when the AI narrative started to fork, from job-apocalypse panic toward a more mature picture of how AI will actually diffuse through the economy, markets, infrastructure, and enterprise work. NLW connects Ezra Klein’s job-apocalypse rethink, Wall Street’s renewed confidence in AI infrastructure, the Elon–Anthropic deal, the rise of harness engineering, and new voice and coding agent tools into one bigger story.
